Kurgo G-Train K9 Pack, Carrier Backpack for Small Dogs and Cats, Ideal for Hiking or Travel, Waterproof Bottom, Chili Red

Product Information

Carrying a pack puts him in working mode, which means he’s less likely to be distracted by something else. So instead of leaving your dog behind or modifying your route, consider an alternative: a dog hiking backpack. I found a market full of promising options, like the popular K9 Sport Sack and the PetAmi Pet Carrier. The Rucksack has all the features you want in a carrier, plenty of room, ventilation, and an interior pad that can be washed. A large handle provides extra assistance if needed and the pack comes equipped with two places for lead attachment.

About two minutes of work saw the carrier better fitted to my shoulders than any bag or pack I own (and had me wondering if I should get a second one for human-only use). Multiple ventilation windows made from mesh ensure sufficient air circulation and let your pet see out. For pups in a weight class the Kurgo G-Train can’t accommodate, the K9 Sport Sack is a good option, with some models, like the Rover 2, able to carry pups up to 80 pounds (that is, if you can—in which case, we salute you! Oscar clocks in at 16 pounds, and he fit in the pack with room to spare—unusual proportions and all. Transport rucksack for dogs, cats and small pets up to 11kg, with a ventilation window, integrated short lead and waterproof base, with extra compartments for a laptop and phone.You can also use the backpack as a traditional dog carrier, because the backpack also has a handle on the front. Senior dogs and smaller breeds are especially vulnerable to exhaustion and injury—a dangerous situation when help or a ride might be several miles out.

Hiking combines all of your pup’s first loves: sniffing, exploring, and spending time with his favorite person in the world—you. Offering a variety of high-performing and durable products, from dog backpacks and dog carriers to seat belt tethers and collapsible bowls, Kurgo have everything you need for a smooth-sailing adventure with your dog. When we finally made it to the wilderness, he got in like a champ, happily alternating walking and riding over the course of a beautiful (and slightly rainy) four miles.As rugged and thoughtfully engineered as the best daypacks-think padded laptop compartment, a pair of water bottle holders, and an ample supply of zippered storage- the G-Train K9 Pack, Black adds a pet carrier compartment with a zip-open mesh top that rolls neatly out of the way. The Kurgo comes with adjustable buckles at just about every point you could want them: around your waist, at your chest, and at the top and bottom of the bag, where the padded shoulder straps can be tightened or loosened to fit the length of your torso.
