Product Features

ADVANCED ERGONOMIC DESIGN WITH WATER-RESISTANT EXTERIOR

Built with durable, high-density fabric designed to keep you and your little chonk comfortable and fully supported.

SOFT RIP-STOP INTERIOR

Our interior fabric is breathable, lightweight, and super cozy, with a strong "rip-stop" weave to help prevent against damage (like from your dog's nails or something. But also, if your dog's nails are long, they deserve a mani/pedi too.)

BREATHABLE AIR-MESH SIDE VENTILATION

On both sides of our backpack, we included premium air-mesh fabric for ventilation that extends the length of the bag that is designed to help prevent your chonk from overheating.

TAIL PORT

This is easily our favorite feature. Now your chonk can let their fur flag fly. But it's not all fun and games. Using a tail port will decrease pressure on your pet's tail, while maintaining circulation to the area.

AUTO-LOCK ZIPPERS

We used top of the line materials to keep your little chonk safe. And as an added safety measure, the zipper comes with a reinforced pull-tab that locks into the top buckle.

HIGH STRENGTH BUCKLES

These buckles are so good, we delayed production by 6 weeks just to make sure we got them on our bags. That's actually true.

HEFT HANDLES

We put Tubular Grab Handles on all four sides so you can load-in and load-out with ease. Load-tested. Chonk-approved.

SOFT REINFORCED NECK COLLAR WITH REFLECTIVE DETAIL

Your precious cargo deserves full support, and if you're carrying your dog in a backpack, you deserve to be seen, even at night.

COLLAR CLIP WITH ELASTANE STRAP

For added safety, keep your chonk secure with our internal collar clip which attaches to your dog's neck collar. And we used an elastane strap which is nice and stretchy to protect your dog's neck movements!

Clip it or ticket!

Reviews

We love it mostly. It

"We love it mostly. It allows our 14-year-old miniature schnauzer to still take the long walks with us, but the size is still questionable. We got the Maxine one small and that was too small and this one is maybe a hair too big. He sinks into it and his head is not fully over the edge to see. Not sure if there’s a size in between these two. Also we think there needs to be a pocket added to the design for poop bags and maybe treats. Just a thought. Otherwise this is great! Thank you. Also your customer service is quite good."

— Regina B. (4/5)

Love our Little Chonk! I

"Love our Little Chonk! I have been so excited to take Maverick on some bike rides and other adventures but haven’t found the right carrier! This one has done the trick!! Thank you Max for staging the course!!"

— Leslie K. (5/5)

If you have a Corgi,

"If you have a Corgi, stop looking—this is the bag. We love taking our Corgi biking with us, but finding a backpack that actually fits their long body shape and provides real support felt impossible. We previously tried a K9 Sport Sack, but it lacked proper support and the straps broke after just a few uses. The Maxine One is a complete game-changer! You can tell it was intentionally designed with Corgis and longer-bodied dogs in mind. The structural support is incredible, and the materials are ridiculously strong, durable, and well-made. Our Corgi feels totally secure and comfortable while we’re out on bike rides, and the weight distribution makes carrying them so much easier on our shoulders. 10/10 worth every single penny!"

— TAYLOR C. (5/5)

Exactly what's advertised (and MORE!).

"Exactly what's advertised (and MORE!). Quality. Engineered. Well thought-out design! Sir Louie of Roy Creek Lane gives it FIVE stars..!! Thanks Maxine <3"

— Michael W. (5/5)

Works as intended

"Took some practice of getting my corgi used to this but after some time she was comfortable with it. Zippers prevent fur getting caught which is an amazing design. She seems quite secure but she likes leaning to one side which can look off. I am not sure if she's harnessed in correctly but she's definitely secure so maybe that's supposed to be the design for the backpack. Definitely can feel how heavy she is after some time carrying her. Would love an upgrade in the future on the shoulder straps to prevent marks and irritation."

— Anna (5/5)

This is the best dog

"This is the best dog backpack out there."

— Edward R. (5/5)

Very good quality and my

"Very good quality and my paralyzed corgi seems to like it so far. It helps bringing her around and another option opposed to always having her in her wheelchair (which of course she gets tired after awhile). Excellent product and quite happy with it!"

— Tara Z. (5/5)

Fitz loves his backpack! It

"Fitz loves his backpack! It is perfect to take him more places and on more adventures. Just buy one."

— Jet M. (5/5)

My little chonk is still

"My little chonk is still getting used to it but it fits him perfectly and he looks soooo cute in it. This will for sure be my go-to carrier for him whenever we go on the train together."

— Joseph R. (5/5)

Started off with the small

"Started off with the small for my grandpug. Never thought this chubby guy wouldn’t fit in the backpack. Thank goodness I paid the extra amount to mail it back and got the medium. Took some time for him to get used to but he’s warming up to it. I purchased this because he gets warn out real easily on the long hikes and need some help. Once I know he won’t try to get out I’ll be taking him on a bike ride. Here’s a picture with him and his papa."
