| Kangaroo backpack Have anyone used this kind of bag for their furkids? Is it comfortable for them? Mike is soon 10 months old and already 10 pounds hehe I have a pet backpack but it's already too small and I don't want to buy a bigger size. Mike has no problem going in and staying in it, but it quickly gets very hot inside and I want him to be comfortable. I'm looking for something to be used maximum 2-3 times per month when we go to places where dogs are not allowed unless in a carrier or backpack. Any suggestions? |

| Hello Mike, you might want to check with someone you might know that sews. People are always bringing me things to alter etc instead of buying new.

| Example, I make dog harnesses out of soft window screening that people really like especially in the summer heat!

| I don’t think that kind is good for them because that’s not how they would naturally sit.

| This is a great idea!!! However, the inside material of the backpack is really not nice and gets hot too quickly, so it will not be great for spring/summer times. But I will ask around if I can alter it for next winter. |

| I had one for my last 5lb Yorkie and he loved it. He was very comfortable in it and would sit still when he saw me pick it up. Never carried him in it for long periods of time but it did serve the purpose. I found it on Amazon. |

| I choose the size Med. for extra room I think I paid $30. or under for it, it has cross straps across your back, then goes over your shoulders, all adjustable straps. I am happy with it, I keep it in my truck for the unplanned occasions I have him and stop off at a store.

| We picked up the new bag today, just wanted to share if someone else will be looking for options in the future. We are travelling this month and I was looking for a backpack and for a rolling carrier that can be taken on the plane. But as a bonus - the trolley part and the handle can be taken out to use this bag as a backpack. Also the mesh window can be rolled down for extra air and view, especially good for summer. Yay sooo happy I found something for my teapot who is already 10 lbs but likes to be carried around like he is twice smaller |

| Very nice, I like the mesh part, keeps the pup cooler in hot weather, also serves multi purpose. Happy that you found something for your lil teapot.
