Hi Sitters! I'm looking for a sturdy, utilitarian carrier/fanny pack for carrying my treats, poop bags, phone, and ID, etc. when I'm out and about walking my house guests. Thought I'd check here for suggestions. Thanks in advance!
I have a Baggalini crossbody bag that, while small, has tons of compartments for treats, bags, phone, keys, money, a collapsible water bowl, etc. Overall, it has held up very well for the past five years, except the connecting pin for the strap, but it was easily reattached to the metal rings using the clip instead. One came loose a couple of years ago and the other side just failed a couple of weeks ago, but I reattached it as well. I picked mine up at TJ Maxx for about $16.
Thanks! I really liked the e-leash and bought one right after I looked it up online. It's exactly what I'm looking for and I'll let folks know what I think of it after it arrives and I have time to put it to good use. :)
Awesome! They're also made locally (Battle Ground, WA). If you like yours, it's definitely worth asking local pet shops to carry them.
Are you sure they are made locally? The company may be locally owned, but there is nothing on their website that states it is made here, as you find on West Paws' site. In fact, I think the eleash is pretty cool and would be great as a backup, when I don't like a guest dog's leash. I emailed the company and, after several days, no answer on this question.
I use an eleash for my dog (http://eleash.com/). It's an all-in-one adjustable leash/two pocket carrying pouch that easily holds everything I need. I keep a little bag of treats in there, an extra leash, extra dog bags, and occasionally my phone, wallet and keys. You can also use one of the pockets to store full poop bags if you're between garbage cans and don't want to hold onto them (I always slide the tied up bags into another bag before packing them in anything, just in case). The leash itself is easily adjustable between 3 and 6 ft in length, and the handle has a clip built in so you can easily attach the dog to a pole or table leg, or even clip the leash to your belt to go hands free. Even on a smaller dog, the pouch doesn't weigh down the leash. I haven't found any real use for the exterior mesh pockets - in my experience anything I've put there has easily come back out, and after over a year of use, the mesh is pretty much destroyed. ANd finally, they're seriously inexpensive. Plain leashes with no special features easily go for as much. Anyway, this is my plug. :)
I use a simple fanny pack so I know it's all secure but easier to get to than a backpack. I know their not a hot commodity right now but i'm sure you can find tons for a good price online.
