It's ok, but there are a few issues that could be improved. In the treat section, if it folds over when you open the bag to get something else out, the treats often fall into the other side of the zip - which is irritating as you either have to reach awkwardly to get them or tip the whole bag upside down to fix it. The space for the water bottle holder is too small for the standard sized bottles, and if you do manage to squeeze one in then it makes the weight quite unevenly distributed. My final issue is, in fairness, probably just an issue with shoulder bags in general - but it sometimes falls awkwardly into either my head or my dog's head if, say, we get in a tangle with another dog's lead or I need to reach down quickly if she picks up something she shouldn't. I opted for this instead of a bumbag so that I'd have room for a water bottle, but with the water bottle issue (above) it doesn't really feel like an upgrade but a sidestep.

I received my bags a few days ago and I have used a couple of times. LIKES: The bags are well-made and the outer mesh section for 'full-bags' is a good feature (there is never a bin around when you need one!) The small zipped section in the main body of the bag is useful to keep my phone in, away from wet balls, etc. I like the reflective strips on the front. The bag is a generous size with plenty of room to carry keys, phone, hand sanitizer etc. DISLIKES: I feel the clips are unnecessary as I would never attach my keys to them. The shoulder pad on the strap has a mind of its own and does not stay put, sliding freely up and down. If it was fuxed, it would be better. My biggest gripe is that the section for the Barking bags water bottle is a little too large and the first time I used my bag and bent down to 'pick up', the bottle fell out onto the floor and is now very dented.

Decided to buy this bag after looking at lots of other brands, really happy with the quality and features, will fit everything I need for my dachshund, comfy to wear and delivery was very quick. Would highly recommend

The bag is of good quality. No where to put your phone or keys, an idea would be to split the main compartment into two, one for the dog treats and the other for personal belongings and a ball

I ordered a bigger bag because I was so pleased with the small one I’d bought but wanted something to hold my phone as well as dog treats. I am disappointed with the bigger one as it doesn’t really work as a waist bag and I can’t easily leave the flap open to access treats. I should have done more research before buying.

We saw it on Dragon's Den and thought that it was a very good idea. Now that we have one, we know that it's a very good idea.
