If you’re plus-sized and considering the Barking Bags treat pouch, save your money and your self-esteem.
I was initially thrilled about trying out Barking Bags after a fellow dog walker recommended them and after seeing their booth at Crufts. However, I was quickly disappointed.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room – or rather, the lack of room. The pouch itself is fine quality, but the design is a slap in the face to anyone not fitting the ‘average’ size or flaunting themselves on TikTok. The belt couldn’t even come close to wrapping around where I wanted it. And guess what? You can’t adjust it. Their brilliant solution? Cut it. Because apparently, accommodating different body shapes is too much to ask.
And the customer service? It's a joke. No returns on unused bags? Come on. They’d rather make a plus-sized person feel like an inconvenience than bother repackaging something. Oh, but they generously offered a discount on my next purchase. As if I’d ever buy from a company that treats me like I’m too big for their products.
It’s a real shame. I had high hopes for this bag and was eager to recommend it to my fellow dog walkers and owners. Until Barking Bags addresses these issues and makes meaningful improvements to their products and policies, I won’t be purchasing from or recommending them again. So, congratulations, Barking Bags. You managed to make a plus-sized person feel even bigger.
