I have three small dogs. The heaviest being 8kg

I am looking for a messenger / across the chest style bag that can double as a dog carrier.

Not for long journeys, it’s just in case I need to pick one of them up to go into a store or on the tram.

Ideally, front pockets for accessories and poop bags, maybe a bottle holder?

I’ve seen the cheap looking bags in Amazon, Etsy etc. Not interested.

Perhaps something exists in other areas such as fishing, or animal work. Canvas, heavy cloth.

Not looking to break the bank but also not afraid of ‘buy once cry once’.

It's not quite what you are looking for, but see if the Maya wrap for babies might work. It goes across the chest and you wrap it around a metal ring (it's really easy once you try it a few times). I know it would work for one dog for sure, but I am not sure about 3. It has a pocket at the end and it's made our of durable cloth.

Edit: And if you do end up getting it, go for the brand name one (Maya).

Fantastic, thanks very much. I'll bear those in mind.

Gorgeous pupper.
