How many times have you wished that you could go along with your pup when you had to go out? This could be on a walk, a hike or a commuter train. As more people raise their dogs as part of the family, going together is becoming increasingly important. And, this is the reason behind the new product from Kurgo: The K9 Rucksack
What is The K9 Rucksack?
Well, imagine a backpack that was designed to safely carry your dog (cats are cool too)? You could just slip your pet into it, sling it on and just like that, you’re ready to go. That’s The K9 Rucksack.
Amazingly, this backpack style dog carrier merges function with style in the most awesome way. Clearly, a lot of thought was put into this and the aesthetics alone make it a must-have for pet owners.
So, if you work in a place that encourages you to bring your dog to work, then the K9 rucksack is the perfect way to do that. So that you don’t have to carry another backpack, it’s is built with a separate compartment for your laptop. There’s also a cool tablet sleeve and lots of other pockets for easy organization.

Stuff We Like About the K9 Rucksack
You don’t have to be a pet owner to appreciate the genius (and awesomeness) of this product. Here are a few things that stood out for us.
- It’s made from breathable fabric. This is very important because you don’t want something that’s suffocating for the dog.
- Easy to clean. That goes without saying particularly if you’re going to be using it regularly.
- Removable machine washable interior pad. If there’s a dog (or cat) in it regularly, you’ll want to be able to wash it. We love that the creators thought about this.
- The laptop compartment. It would have been awkward to carry the K9 rucksack as well as a backpack or laptop bag. This makes it neater.
- Cute, roll up mesh window. So that the doggie isn’t left in the dark and can see the world outside.
It is clear that the folks behind the K9 rucksack know about dogs and love them (cats too).
