K9 Sport Sack Air 2 Forward Facing Dog Carrier Backpack

We thought we could use one of our many backpacks for carrying our 5 month old mini schnauzer (15lbs) but after buying this realized he is only comfortable because of the thoughtful design of this K9 dog carrier. We put a folded towel at the bottom so he could see over my husbands shoulders. He resisted the first time we put him in but quickly asked for it when tired. The first time we used it we took a 4.9 mile hike gaining 740ft. We were not intending to do this but all was ok with the puppy in the pack for 3/4 of the altitude gain. The only way we figured out how to get him into the pack is to have one person have the pack and another drop the dog in, partially zipped so there was done thing We thought we could use one of our many backpacks for carrying our 5 month old mini schnauzer (15lbs) but after buying this realized he is only comfortable because of the thoughtful design of this K9 dog carrier.

We purchased the XS for our Chihuahua Sophie. We rode over 4 miles with her on our first try and she absolutely loved it. She gets super excited when it's time to ride. It's a super secure way to ride with your fur baby. We highly recommend it.

I bought this for my french bulldog without the booster block because I wanted to see if we needed it first. Turns out we do! Unfortunately when I came back to purchase it was out of stock. A month later, still out of stock. Two months later, still out of stock. Three months later, still out of stock. I’ve check K9 Sport Sacks website, other pet store sites. They are sold out everywhere and it appears none are coming anytime soon. The backpack itself seems great, if we could only use it. Waste of money at this point.

My fox terrier is 20lbs . He couldn’t sit in the backpack . Their legs are too long . It must needs holes to take their legs out like a sling. If they make the one I would buy one again .

I bought the medium size for my beagle puppy. I use towels in the bottom to give him a boost until he grows into it. His legs never stay in the arm slots, but he does seem comfortable in the bag. My main issue for giving 4 stars: I think there should be an option to use the D-ring in the back and the front of the bag — I feel like it would be better for my pup in the back. We might sew a loop in to make this happen. The side pockets are great and I wear it both ways —on my chest and on my back—depending on the activity. I don’t find the chest strap uncomfortable like others have said.

I bought this as a gift for my mom who has a 12-year-old yorkiepoo with arthritis. This was the perfect solution for them. They can still go on long walks together…the pup just ends up in the backpack for the second half!

My pup and I like everything about this dog pack except that it really needs a way to be strapped or belted to my waist. When I wore while riding my bike it kept creeping up and Malai (17 pounds) nearly went over my head. And when I walk upright with it tends to slip too low down my back so the chest strap chokes me. A way to cinch it at my wait would be the answer and I hope I can make that happen.

Took some getting used to with this bag at first for our 14 lb pug. Worked PERFECT after she was all tired out after a walk so she doesn’t resist getting in. It was challenging before but as long as all the straps were snugly tightened around her she enjoyed being carried the whole time! Look at how happy she is in this thing! 5/5 happy customer.

Yuba and I really love this bag. I typically only put her in for short 15/20 min bike rides to and from work. Since she's a healthy young pup, I don't foresee needing this for long hikes, neither do I think she would feel very comfortable for longer stints. I'm really happy to have this as an option and highly recommend this product. It takes a little patience to get your dog used to the bag...so take your time!

I bought this for my YorkiePoo. He is about 16lbs and very long leggged. He fit in just fine but he does not like to be in a backpack so I ordered the K&H Bike Basket in large from Chewy and he loves it. I will keep this one just incase I get another dog so I do recommend it just not for my Timmy.
