When choosing a dog sling bag, what do you consider first?
At SSOOOK, design and weight matter, but we believe the comfort of both the dog using the bag and the guardian carrying it should come first. That’s why SSOOOK develops sling bags by first considering how comfortable a dog can stay inside during travel, and what kind of structure allows the guardian—carrying the bag on one shoulder—to use it with the least strain.
Designing based on structure and fit rather than appearance, and prioritizing the dog’s field of view and posture—this is the fundamental standard and philosophy behind SSOOOK sling bags. Among the SSOOOK sling bags created with these principles, today we introduce the SSOOOK Smart Sling Bag and the SSOOOK View Sling Bag.
Even More Comfortable,
SSOOOK View Sling Bag
Before comparing the SSOOOK View Sling Bag and the Smart Sling Bag, we’d like to first introduce the updates made to the SSOOOK View Sling Bag (SO-CA101 / CA102), which was upgraded from the previous version (SO-CA003 / CA004).
While retaining the signature 4-way opening window structure that defined the original View Sling Bag, the new version has been improved to enhance comfort for both guardians and their dogs. The most notable upgrades include a thicker shoulder strap, a newly added carrier holder, and a reinforced bottom panel structure.
The previous version (CA003 / CA004) featured a relatively thinner shoulder strap compared to the Smart Sling Bag. With this upgrade, the View Sling Bag now uses the same shoulder strap as the Smart Sling Bag. Made with the same premium material used by the world’s leading baby carrier brand, the shoulder pad has been improved to allow guardians to wear it longer and more comfortably.
The second upgrade is the addition of a carrier holder. The previous View Sling Bag did not include a carrier holder, meaning the guardian had to carry the bag at all times even while traveling. To reduce this inconvenience, the newly released View Sling Bag (SO-CA101 / CA102) now features a carrier holder, enhancing convenience during travel and movement.
Lastly, a premium 5-layer cushion bottom has been applied to provide greater comfort and stability when dogs lie down or rest inside the bag. The upper surface, where the dog’s body makes contact, is made with a soft-touch, high-density foam to deliver a plush cushioning feel. The lower surface is reinforced with a water-resistant fabric and a sturdy plate, enhancing the overall stability of the bag.
SSOOOK Sling Bag Essentials
The SSOOOK View Sling Bag (SO-CA101 / CA102) and the SSOOOK Smart Sling Bag (SO-CA103 / CA104) share the same philosophy and design. However, the right choice depends on the posture your dog most often takes inside the bag.
1. Stable Trapezoidal Design (SSTS™)
Both sling bags are designed with “comfortable movement” as the core principle. To help dogs rest comfortably and securely inside the bag during travel, SSOOOK applies a trapezoidal structure (SSTS™) with a wider base.
Most dog carriers are made in a tall, rectangular shape, which raises the center of gravity and makes the bag more likely to sway or tilt while moving.
In contrast, SSOOOK’s trapezoidal structure lowers the center of gravity, reducing shaking and collapse, and helping dogs maintain a more stable posture inside the bag. As a result, it creates a structure where dogs can relax in a comfortable position even while on the move.
2. Dual-Window Structure for Year-Round Use
Both sling bags feature a dual-window structure that combines a mesh cover with an insulated thermal cover, allowing flexible adjustment depending on the season and travel environment.
Closing the mesh cover provides stable use even on public transportation, while using the insulated thermal cover helps retain cool or warm air for longer periods. From hot summers to cold winters, this structure protects your dog comfortably throughout all four seasons.
3. Comfort for the Guardian, Too
A dog sling bag should be comfortable not only for the dog, but also for the guardian who carries it for long periods of time.
The SSOOOK View Sling Bag and the SSOOOK Smart Sling Bag are equipped with a carrier holder that allows the bag to be secured to a suitcase, making them easy and comfortable to use during travel or frequent outings. In addition, the bag direction can be set to either the right or left side, allowing guardians to choose the way that feels most natural for them. A soft shoulder pad helps reduce pressure on the shoulder, minimizing strain and maintaining comfort even during long journeys.
SSOOOOK sling bags are thoughtfully designed to consider not only the comfort of dogs, but also the overall wearing experience of their guardians.
A Wide, Open View with a 4-Way Opening,
SSOOOK View Sling Bag
So, what sets the two products apart?
The biggest difference lies in the dog’s field of view inside the bag, as well as the storage layout and the posture the dog naturally takes while inside.
The SSOOOK View Sling Bag (SO-CA101 / CA102) features a 4-way opening design, allowing dogs to look forward, backward, and to the sides all at once when lying down inside the bag. While the storage is kept relatively simple, the structure is ideal for dogs who prefer to lie down comfortably and observe their surroundings from inside the bag.
If your dog naturally lies down once inside the bag and values a clear field of view even while on the move, the View Sling Bag can be a comfortable choice.
SSOOOK’s Signature Corner Window,
SSOOOK Smart Sling Bag
Next, the SSOOOK Smart Sling Bag (SO-CA103 / CA104) features SSOOOK’s distinctive corner window design. Compared to the View Sling Bag, it offers more generous storage space, making it ideal for carrying the guardian’s belongings during outings. It is especially well suited for dogs who tend to spend more time sitting rather than lying down inside the bag.
Thanks to the corner window structure, dogs can enjoy a naturally open field of view even while seated, allowing them to observe their surroundings more comfortably.
Rather than one being better than the other, the SSOOOK View Sling Bag and the SSOOOK Smart Sling Bag are designed to suit different dogs’ habits inside the bag and different ways guardians use them. For dogs who need a stable, open field of view even while lying down, the SSOOOK View Sling Bag is a great match. If your dog prefers to sit and enjoy the view while also valuing practical storage space, the SSOOOK Smart Sling Bag is a better fit.
Both sling bags are designed with the comfort of both guardians and their dogs in mind, making everyday travel time more relaxed and enjoyable. Choose the SSOOOK sling bag that best matches your dog’s posture and your daily movement style.
