First, let’s go over my scenario. I have two English Bulldogs. One is 74lbs, the other is 48lb. Keep this in mind, as my review goes on, this was written with my dogs in mind, so yours (whether larger or smaller) my differ. Ok, so first the excellents, and this bag has several. The material is (THANK GOD) not a dog hair magnet. This replaced my old one, which why on earth the fabric they chose was the most dog hair attracting material in the world, but thankfully this is not the case. I have a feeling the velcro in the handle may be (which isn’t inherently anyone’s fault, velcro literally does this) but if you take a stiff bristled brush, that will get right out. Second is all the pockets and zippered pockets. So one of my dogs has dry eye. I have to put two drops in every day. Now, I have a place to put them. Both love pupperoni, I now have a nice little mesh area for them. I have to wipe butts after potty. I now have a zipped mesh pocket to store the wipes. There is a place for poopy bags. Also in that same compartment, there is a section for extra poopy bags. Let me mention the mat that’s included! This was one of the primary reasons I purchased this bag. It’s large enough to hold the bowls, and water dishes. It’s very easy to rinse and dry. It’s an excellent idea for anyone with a messy eater or drinker (hounds, bulldogs, pits, etc.) As far as intelligent design goes, this has had a lot of thought put into it. Now, for the goods. Keep in mind here, that you should not have issues with this if you have smaller dogs, or dogs that aren’t oblivious tanks that bulldoze their way through life. So the food bowls, they’re nice and well built. They DO FIT in the bag full, which is awesome. I feed my two twice a day, and the two would be more than enough for even a surprise “running late, we have to feed the dogs!” type thing if you’re out later than expected. they clean well so far and surprisingly, the food crumbs do not clog the actually well made zippers up. I wish the walls were a bit sturdier. When you pack them they bulge, but it’s not really a problem with all the room inside the actual bag. Which brings me to my next thing. The collapsible bowls. I’m just not a fan. My bulldogs have incredibly fat heads lol, and when they eat or drink, they have to get close. This causes silicone bowls to collapse and gets water everywhere. I drilled some holes in them and actually use them as a shower for the dogs on hot days. They enjoy it. I pack the bowls for their food and water inside the rooomy bag, so I’m not losing any room, as the collapsible shower stalls clip right on the strap clips. So now that I’ve rambled on and on, I hope this helps you guys wanting info! It’s roomy, it doesn’t attract hair and it really is well thought out and durably designed. It is a keeper!
