Not good. overpriced. under-designed.
Not sure why these are so popular we can’t use it at all for our dog. If i had paid attention to the design i would have noticed the top opening cannot be adjusted so there is only a very limited sized dog where this pack will work. We tried a little makeshift platform inside and all kinds of mods but unfortunately this pack is going to donations.

We're sorry this pack was not the right fit for your dog's size! This pack is recommended for dogs up to 25 lbs.; if your dog is larger than this, it would unfortunately not be the right fit.
Though short/very small dogs may not reach the opening, they can still be carried well within the pack and would still have ventilation with the mesh on the back and the opening area.
If the issue is that your dog is smaller and having direct access to the opening is critical for you, the pack from our sister brand, PetSafe, may be a better fit. This can be seen here-

Great but needs one modification
It’s super comfy for the dog and generally for the person wearing the back pack. One flaw that easily can be fixed is that The hard plastic on the bottom makes it sore on the lower back if carried for two days in a row. So there should be padding on the plastic as well.

Perfect for plane
I needed to transport my dog on the plane and this backpack is perfect! When we go out, she actually likes to stay in the backpack as a safe place.

Ivan seems to love it!
The bag is excellent quality and well designed. I secured the Secured bag onto my bike and my dog now loves joining us on bike rides. I like the fact he’s on his feet rather than placing stress on his spine. Because the bag is attached to the bike, he feels very safe and secure.

Great Backpack, its now my main pack
I love this backpack and use it all the time, I've had it for 3 months now and its gone with me on a couple of flights as well as many bike rides and hikes and even a 10k. I chose the red one for extra visibility. I also like that I have a spot for my laptops, and his water bottle. I ride with him tethered in with the strap on a safe no-escape harness.
I would however pay twice as much for the exact same backpack if i could get it with sturdier materials. Instead of a plastic bottom with fiberglass rods something stiffer that could handle if I fell off my bike and kept him from being potentially crushed, like a safety roll cage, but I haven't found anything yet that offers that level of stability.

Works well for carrying small dog on your front
This is a well designed unit that works front or back ( thanks to the keeper strap) , I agree from others the size of the hip padding could be made more substantial but for small dogs like ours who is about 6 lbs it works fine and she enjoys it. We purchase it as our Yorkshire terrier went blind at 32 months old, and we needed something she would be secure in wearing it on your front or your back.

Small dachshund friendly
This is the first backpack I've found that my miniature dachshund could sit in comfortably. Most carriers for them are shoulder bag style. This backpack allows her to sit up with a little support and has saved us multiple times when we hike farther than her little legs can take her.

Questions
1 - 7 of 7 Questions
I have a 22 lb. dachshund. Would he be tall enough to stick his head out of the opening?
- Thank you for your great question, Emm. The K9 Rucksack is about 121" tall, and it is about 15 inches from the base of the inside to the opening. You can use this measurement to see if this will be a good option for your dog.
Helpful?
Has anyone with the black backpack experienced it getting too hot with the sun? I'm afraid that the backpack will get hot and then my dog will get hot.
- I have a small black dog and got the black bag, it doesn't get too hot. I also use a cooling band for my dog and threw an ice pack in there under some padding.
Helpful?
What are the two small rods used for.
- Thank you for this question, Kirk! These rods can be used for additional stabilization. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the instruction guide that comes with the pack. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us. Our number is 1-877-847-3868, and our hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 8 P.M. EST and Saturdays 9 A.M.- 5 P.M. EST.

Is this a good pick for a French bull dog puppy?
- This is a great question! The Kurgo Dog G-Train K9 Black Backpack is wonderful for pet up to 25 pounds, including a new puppy.

Is this black one the same as the red one? The only difference I see is the weight: the black one is 3.14lbs and the red is 3.09lbs. If they are different, what are the differences?
- Thank you for your great question. The only difference between the two different G-Train K9 backpacks is the color.

Does this meet airline requirements for ventilation and sliding under the seat?
- Thank you for your great question. For the best answer to your question, it will be best to consult TSA and the airline you plan on flying with.
Helpful?
does this have a pocket I could put my laptop in as well? And is this suitable for a 10 lb Yorke or would he be lost in it?
- I have a 5 lb Chihuahua and she loves it! It’s like a luxurious apartment for her but if she gets tired or sleepy she can take a nap in there. It has been working great for us! We highly recommend it!
