Bring the Dog and Have More Fun

The dog is a member of the family so do not leave it behind when everyone is headed outside for recreational activities. The K9 Sport Sack Dog Carrier Backpack makes it easy and comfortable to include the dog in family activities. This forward-facing carrier secures the dog while leaving the hands of the owner free for skiing, driving a snowmobile or jet ski, cycling, camping, shopping, and most other adventures. The reactions and responses of the dog to the activities will delight the family and make recreation and exercise more fun for all involved.

What to Know About Sizes

Much like backpack-type carriers for infants and toddlers, the dog will be fully supported and safe. The perfect sizing is essential to maximize stability. Measure the dog while it is in the begging position. Be sure to include the distance between the rear and the collar. Select the right size, from extra-small to large, based on the inches of that measurement and the weight of the dog.

Keep in mind the longest distance that is accommodated is twenty-three inches. The weight limit for the large size is up to thirty pounds. Size up if the dog is right at the limits for any one size. The K9 Sport Sack is designed for healthy dogs with no disabilities, abnormalities, or medical conditions. When in doubt, consult the vet to determine if the carrier is appropriate. Liability does not extend to dogs with issues.

Additional Safety

Keep in mind that the dog will need to be dressed for the weather, and have either sunglasses or dog goggles for eye protection. Hydration is also important while the dog is out and about. Accessories, such as pouches designed to fit the side of the sack and patches that can be customized with the name of the dog, are available at k9sportsack.com. If cycling or walking at night, place reflective tape on the back of the carrier.

Carrier Care

Carriers will last for years, if cared for properly. They can be hand washed with mild soap and warm water and hung on the line to dry. Carrier users can visit here for complete care instructions. The upgraded version of the K9 carrier has strips of mesh for ventilation one each side which means washing is not needed often unless the exterior is dirty or the dog becomes incontinent. The carrier should be stored in a cool and dry place when not in use to protect it from excess moisture.
