Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Three months ago my beloved blind 12-year-old dog was diagnosed with a horrible case of acute pancreatitis and almost died. He spent two weeks in the hospital and stubbornly lived through the pancreatitis, only to develop kidney failure. But in the last few weeks of his life, he wanted to be as close to me as possible. If I sat down, he would find a way to get in my lap. I bought this so he could be close to me, yet still comfortable. I carried him into the office with me, where he slept on my desk or in my lap all day. Sometimes I also carried him around the house in it. He loved this little sling. He even slept in it like a sleeping bag when I wasn't wearing him. Comfort-wise, it was very easy for me to wear. I'm 5'3" and it hit me right at the hip. My dog was about 8 pounds by the time I used this for him, and I felt like he was supported adequately. I didn't feel like the sling was going to fall apart on me. And it was soft to snuggle into. I did put a pee pad on the bottom of it to catch some slight incontinence problems. I felt silly purchasing a dog carrier, but I'm so glad I did. It made our last few weeks together a little easier to manage and we both loved being so close. I miss my furkid so much, but at least one of the fond memories I have is all the snuggling we did while he was in his dog sling.
