DOGSNUG's Opinion

We use this backpack with our whippet Kai for bike rides and to visit shops where pets are not allowed. We also take it with us when we travel abroad as some countries will not allow pets in public transportation.

Owning this backpack has delighted both humans and whippets and we highly recommend it.
