I recently purchased this ultralight sleeping bag for my dog and I already love it. I am an avid hiker and love to take my dog with me on backpacking trips. I have been looking for the right sleeping system but all the options I found just didn’t work. Mainly, because they were too heavy and didn’t pack very small so that I ended up with having to carry dog gear that was larger and heavier than my own. This sleeping bag is going to be a game-changer. It does deliver on its promise of being ultralight and with the included compression sack it takes up very little space in my backpack. I also really love the thoughtful design and versatility it provides with the zipper, drawstring around the opening, and the hanging loops. Just as my human sleeping bag, this bag is also machine washable, which was important to me as there’ll be inevitable messes when going camping with your dog. 😊 I highly recommend his sleeping bag to anyone looking for a reliable, compact, and super light sleeping system for their dog. It does not only prioritize my dog’s comfort but also makes life much easier for me on trips. Read more

LONG REVIEW! But it honestly is doing everything right. I looked at a lot of the available dog sleeping bags on REI and camping sites and felt like I had to compromise which each one on something (price, size, compression, color). I have a tiny dog that in theory could sleep in my sleeping bag, but she’s restless and a toaster. So I wanted something that would actually keep her warm/pad the ground and give her her own space when camping or resting on hikes. This was perfect. 1-love the name and the aqua color is great. It’s texture is smooth and soft. A little crinkly noise, but no more than my own sleeping bag 2-Price was excellent and the quality is definitely there. Seems look solid and zipper is easy and smooth. While my dog is small, she loves to dig on her beds and blankets. We set it out when we got it so she could get used to it and get “house smells” on it before camping, so far no rips or tears after continual usage for 2 weeks camping and at home. 3-It compresses down to a nice size. Just be careful not to pull to hard on the compression straps. You will need to do each strap a little at a time. Popped a stitch when I accidentally pulled one strap all the way down in one go. But stuff/compresses just like my Nemo sleeping bag. Also fluffs up really nice and in about 30-60 secs after full compression. Picture is with a Nalgene bottle for comparison. Could actually compress further if you had to. 4- size is overkill for my 6 lb dog, but since I didn’t need to stress about it being bulky to carry, I’m okay with a bit of extra for her. Zipped up I think it could fit 20-30 lb dogs. If unzipped could fit much larger. 5- has cleaned up really well from dirt, food and lots of licks. Really have only needed to brush things off and water kinda beaded up and rolled off. 6- bonus features: Has some nice extra straps if you wanted to hang it to dry or stake it down. Glow zipper loop is a nice touch. Draw string is nice if you need to keep them EXTRA warm or your dog likes to borrow. Picture: Happy Trails sleeping bag was used with a “Tiny Tent’s” Basecamp Dome. The two products combined have given our little dog a home away from home. Read more

We like to go on backpack adventures and have had a hard time sleeping in the tent with our pup because he always wanted to take over our sleeping bags. But not anymore! Otis was happy to have his own sleeping bag! Packs well, light weight, comfty, great price! Recommend to any adventure pup! Read more

As an avid camper and outdoor enthusiast, finding the perfect sleeping bag is paramount for a good night’s rest. After trying out the Down Dog Sleeping Bag, I can confidently say it’s a game-changer. Firstly, the Down Dog’s insulation is top-notch. Filled with premium down, it kept my pup warm and snug even on chilly nights. Read more

As described, I was able to fit the compressed down sleeping bag inside a Ruffwear XS Approach for my 28 lb dogs. It's also super light so they can pack it themselves. Tested it out of our 2 night backpacking trip near White Pass and I'm very pleased with this product. Read more

Scout loves this sleeping bag! The quality is great and it packs down nicely in my pack when we go backpacking. Scout is a 45lb cattle dog and it fits perfectly. He stays inside of it all night! We’ve had this bag for over a year now and have brought it on all of our trips. Scout would 10/10 recommend this to all of his dog friends! Read more

If you want a lightweight sleeping bag for your best friend for backpacking or hunting, this is really your only reasonably priced option. The nunatak dog Bivy is a great piece of kit, but it cost $170 and there is sometimes a long waiting list. This bag kept my dog warm down to 24F and I thought it was well worth the weight at 11 ounces. You have to use it in conjunction with some sort of sleeping pad. You can either buy the one that this company makes or buy a Nemo switchback and cut it in half. My 45lb girl fit in the size medium. Read more
