Kurgo G-Train - Dog Carrier Backpack for Small Pets - Cat & Dog Backpack for Hiking, Camping or Travel - Waterproof Bottom - Ink Blue

I have tried different dog backpacks and this one is definitely the best. It has a lot of pockets. You can always put everything you need and the dog will have enough space. The only thing I would do is increase the width of the straps, it will distribute the weight better and not put so much pressure on the shoulders.

I just got this bag. I just used it with my cat. He is a very large cat. Erik the Red is both overweight and very long he's a very long cat. Probably 17 or 18 lbs. From head to tail he's about 22 in. He comfortably fits. I think I'm more often going to use this bag in the front over my chest not on my back. Probably the best way to do that is to clip the chest strap on first and then pull it over your head to pull it onto you like a Kevlar vest I guess I mean I've seen people on TV do that or movies. I think it's a very good quality and I've yet to see how it's going to work but I want to go biking and jogging or hiking with my cat and I have to see if he's amenable to that yet but yeah we'll see. I think the bag will not be the impediment my cat might be.The pictures that I included emphasize how to use the safety rods or that I don't know support rods that's it. Before I bought this bag a lot of the reviews were talking about how useless those support rods were and they're not useless it's the instructions are very bad! The zipper for the backpack straps it's got a bottom part and a top part just like an easy zipper does and if you don't realize that it's kind of hard to know that the the rods will go inside the very top part of that compartment where those back straps the backpack straps will be able to be checked into. The instructions are very bad but if you ever try to put the straps in which I think if you don't do that that's what the instructions ask you to do then you realize that the very top of that compartment is above the zipper and that's where the top part of those rods go. I think a lot of people to buy this bag never intend to use it as anything other than a backpack so they skip that part in the instructions and they never realize that that little like an inch and a half on the top of the bag in that back compartment they don't even want to mess with that zipper. You never realize that there's a top part of it.

Perfect for my 13 lb dog. Had her in the bag as I was Mountain Biking

I have a 30 pound staffy who barely fits in this. He doesn’t like being so enclosed but will get in it with lots of treats! Good quality and very durable! We took it for hiking in the mountains and it held up very well. Easy to spot clean. Easy to put on my back and very comfortable with the padded straps!

Really well made and perfect for me and my Basenji 💙💙

Tried with 14 lb dachshund. Dog could not get comfortable and keep his head out the top to observe his surroundings. Was much bulkier than I had hoped. Backpack bulk, weight and dogs discomfort made it unusable.

My dog is a 16 years old Maltese. She's still quite spry for her age. However, she doesn't walk much anymore because she is almost blind.I travel quite a bit and I take my dog wherever I go. I've researched and purchased an enormous amount of dog traveling gear. I currently I have 3 backpacks (including this one) in the trunk of my car. Depending on where we're going and for how long dictates which backpack to put her in.I use this backpack mostly for traveling on planes and festivals/events. Sometimes I use this if I just don't feel like showing the BS "registered" service dog card or with places that don't adhere to service dog laws (ADA) like Chinese markets. I could hide my dog easily in this backpack. I shouldn't have to disclose that I'm Chinese, but I am in case anyone thinks I'm somehow being somehow racially biased by stating a FACT.This backpack has so much room for my 7 pound dog that I can store up to two days worth of clothes, toiletries and my tablet. It's perfect for air travel because the backpack can be placed on the floor horizontally and there's plenty of room. I used to have a carrying case just for my dog when traveling so either I would bring another backpack with clothes or a luggage roller. Now, I can reach for my tablet, water for myself and my dog, and any other electronic items I placed in the bag.I realized black is not an ideal color for summer outdoor events but there are a couple of things to consider when cooling down your pet.First, there is plenty of room in the compartment between you and the dog to place a cooling pad. In fact, there's a 7" x 10" compartment right up against the animal compartment.Second, I have two cooling blankets that I purchased for my dog. Even though it is freezing in my house, I was told by the vet that she shouldn't be breathing more than 30 times in a minute. The cooling blankets help a lot so I fold one and place it at the bottom of the animal compartment.Kurgo really did a great job designing this bay. The only criticism that really doesn't mean much is the two rods that come with the backpack are useless. It takes up too much space in the animal compartment. So if your dog is in the 20 pound range, they're pointless.That's pretty much it! If you made it all the way down here, you must be a pretty patient person.

It’s is bigger than I expected. After trying other brands this is by far the best one. Our puppy dog loves it. She is almost 10 pounds and has plenty of room. Extra places for storing other items, so we only need to take one bag. Built to last, great ventilation, strong zippers, could be a little cheaper, but worth the price for sure. The bottom is flat and durable material so she can sit nicely and look out the front mesh or sides. FYI we returned the K9 sport pack immediately. Get this one instead. Love love love.
