Air 2 101: Carrying your small-to-medium sized dog with K9 Sport Sack

With K9 Sport Sack popularity rapidly on the rise, many pet parents are now looking to purchase their very first forward-facing dog carrier for the summer months. 

Among the range, the Air 2 has proven itself to be a favourite among dogs & their humans - but what makes the Air 2 such a great choice? Read on!

 

Why Choose this Carrier?

Taking our dogs along with us on adventures is one of life's greatest pleasures, even a simple walk to the local park. The Air 2 helps you bring your dog along for those adventures they often have to miss out on, whether it's a longer hike or a bike ride. The Air is the original carrier, without all the bells & whistles seen in later styles.

 

The Build

The Air 2 is a minimal carrier, being offered at a lower price-point than other styles, while remaining durable & breathable. 

Mesh sides help keep the bag ventilated, & a padded bottom help keep your dog comfortable when seated in the bag.

With ergonomic shoulder straps & a sternum strap, the Air 2 is also designed to be comfortable for you. The sternum strap helps stop the bag moving around while worn, & can help relieve some of the weight of the dog.

 

The Use

As a lightweight carrier, the Air 2 shines the best during everyday use, such as for use on public transport or for strolls. It can also be used for bike rides, as the minimal nature of the carrier means it isn't as bulky as some other styles.

It is also suitable for hiking 1-2 miles, but should be worn no longer than 30 minutes at a time. 

 

The Dog

The dog weight range for the K9 Sport Sack is 2-13kg, making it suitable for small-to-medium dogs. 

While our dogs come in a range of sizes, weights & shapes, even amongst dogs of the same breed, your dog's breed can help guide you towards which backpack will be most suitable.

It is essential that you weigh your dog prior to choosing a carrier, as a carrier that can accommodate your dog's weight helps offer your dog a safe experience.
