Abstract
The retractable leash pack of the invention is a compartmentalized pack—made of typical back pack materials such as Nylon, webbing, mesh and VELCRO®—that fits securely to a retractable dog leash. The various compartments provide for carrying dog waste, waste disposal bags, treats, keys, wallets and other items. A user of the invention can walk her dog and carry necessary items in a single pack coupled to the leash. The compartments are typically closed and/or contained by various known methods, including via zippers, buttons, snaps, mesh pouches, and pockets. In one preferred aspect, one side of the pack has another compartment that expands to allow for convenient storage of dog waste, such as collected within waste disposal bags over time.
