Us pups love to go on hiking trips. My little sister, Little Bit, likes to go too. She starts out with them little legs just a pumpin’ to keep up with us big dogs. She does a purdy good job of it for a while. Then, she gets tired and starts laggin’ behind, with her tongue all lolled out. That is when My Lady or Man has to pick her up and carry her to get her back home. Little Bit has a fit if ya try to leave her at home, so what do ya do ’bout that? Leave it to my Lady to find an answer! She went and got her a K9 Sport Sack!
The K9 Sport Sack is a handy dandy thing like a dog backpack and she can ride on their backs. She acts like she’s Queen of the Nile ridin’ up there! Spoiled rotten I tell ya! WOOF! Lemme round up my Lady to tell ya ’bout the little Queen’s new contraption!
Here’s what my Lady says ’bout the K9 Sport Sack
Little Bit is a tiny little thing and it is even more pronounced being side-by-side with the other 6 dogs. We joking say she lives in the land of giants, as they range from 100 to our big Ozzy weighing in at a whopping 132 lbs! It’s true what they say though. In her mind, she believes she is a Great Dane! She holds her own with other dogs, but what strikes terror in her heart is being left alone at home! She wants to always be with her people, even if they move from room to room in the house. Who knows what terrors she faced before us rescuing her, but she is as skittish as they come and loaded with anxiety issues!
Staying home with the other dogs while we go out is another problem, which requires that she is crated. While I don’t believe they would hurt her, I am afraid that her “big dog attitude” will get her into trouble. So, for her own safety and just in case, she stays in a crate when all the dogs are home alone. When I heard of the K9 Sport Sack, it sounded like the perfect solution to allow her to join the fun times!
Instead of leaving her at home alone or in a crate, Little Bit can now join us for fun activities like hiking, biking, visiting the farmer’s market, etc. The K9 Sport Sack allows her to ride comfortably on our back, out of harm’s way, while enjoying the sights and sounds!

How to get your dog in the K9 Sport Sack
Once in the K9 Sport Sack for the first time, Little Bit wiggled around a bit, stretched, and pressed with her legs. Eventually, she settled in for the ride once she realized – hey, this is comfy and I am WITH my human! There was a slight chill in the air, but she was nestled in snug as a bug and the warmth from the sunshine felt good. She got comfortable and I could swear she was looking sleepy! But, wait! She was suppose to be seeing the sights not napping!
She must have just been dozing because the rattle of the treat bag livened her up! Little Bit really enjoys treat time from her perch! She doesn’t have to compete with the maze of long legs belonging to the big dogs!
Seriously! Imagine being that little in the middle of these brutes! Needless to say, she loves being able to hang out with the hubs and the rest of the pack.
K9 Sport Sack Sizes
The K9 Sport Sack comes in sizes X-Small, Small, Medium, and Large. While they don’t recommend for dogs over 30 lbs, the K9 Sport Sack has been tested over 55 lbs. (who would want to carry a dog that big anyway? EEK! I would have to be carried home!) You can view the sizes, and how to measure, under the size tab on their website. There is also a sizing video and they are open to emails if you need extra help with your decision.
Our Thoughts
I’m not sure who loves the K9 Sport Sack more – Little Bit or us! She has decided she loves her new backpack! From her stand point, she gets to always be with her humans and/or the rest of the pack! She can enjoy all the activities that sometimes forced her to stay at home because of her size.
From our standpoint, we no longer need to wrestle carrying her in our arms if she tires out in the middle of an activity. We also don’t have to worry that she is underfoot if on the ground. She is quick as lightening and sometimes worrisome underfoot. And, at places like the farmer’s market and outdoor flea markets that we love to visit, there is a danger she will be stepped on if not in our arms. The K9 Sport Sack has opened a whole new world for her and we are thrilled she can join us!
The K9 Sport Sack is well-made and comes with all the bells and whistles! We love the freedom it has given Little Bit and us! It is comfortable for both her and us. Having said that, at only 7.5 lbs. it is not a lot of weight to carry. I cannot properly judge shoulder and back fatigue if you had a larger dog. You would need to use your own judgement on that.

This is great! Owners of small dogs would be thrilled to have this.
This is so very cute!!! My doggers is to big for one of these but I would gladly carry a friends doggie in one!
Cute! My dog is too big, but this is great for small dogs!
This looks perfect for our pomchi denali. When we rescued him we were told he has a knee issue, and here have been times he limps. He always wants to explore new places though, so this would help out on longer hikes he just can’t make.
The sport sack cracks me up. I’m sorry. It just reminds me of a baby carrier. I would use it all the time for trips and hiking.
My Westie is too old to go hiking in the woods — he would be able to go with us again if I had this. Awesome product!
What a great invention for your littlest pup! Makes it fun for everyone.
What a wonderful way to take your smaller dog with you on those long walks where they tire easily.
Such a good idea! I really like that you can take your companion with you easily without the worry that they’ll break out of a leash or get tired and not want to move.
Looking good nice for your pet
Omg that’s such a cool idea,great for if you have a puppy too
I love this backpack what a great idea
love this and what a great way to hike with your pup
I have a senior small dog who would love to get out and see the sites like this 🙂 She isn’t able to walk very fast or a long distance so this would be a great way to get her out with us.
Great review! I love the easy pull zipper 🙂
would love to try this!
These are so neat I want one so bad!
This would complete my life… & my dogs happiness
I would take my good friend’s pup on a motorcycle ride as well as hikes thru the Presidio! She has medical issues and sometimes can’t walk very far!
This is the cutest carrier I have ever seen.. What a great idea.
First I’d have to get a dog that fits in there. Neat backpack.
That is so cute!!! My dog would love that!
This would be so great for my little MiniPin Milo, he loves to go places but he gets tired.
We’ve been looking for something like this for our two Bichons, Glacier and Lily!
Oh my goodness, that is so cute. If my boy wasn’t 80 pounds we might be able to try this out. Lol!
My friend has a small dog. I’ll tell her about this.
I would love one of these for my dog when we go camping and hiking.
How wonderful for small dog owners. I also really like that it has the dual side pockets. Very useful!
My husbands dog would love this, so she could safely ride on the four wheeler with him, maybe goggles too!
Looks like your dog is comfortable in it. Are his front paws in two paw holes? Did your dof mind.
This is s great idea and has so many comfort areas for you and your dog. While I think it would be best for smaller dogs, I think it could accommodate larger dogs as your review states, but I am not sure if some people would be able to carry a bigger dog on their back.
I would so adore to carry my MinPin Milo in that sack, he loves to go on walks but he gets tired and just sits down!
What a Great idea! I LOVE IT!
It looks like Little Bit had fun 🙂 I know my little dog would love being carried around in this sack! When we go shopping I am so scared of her getting stepped on or a big dog attacking her so I usually leave her at home. or have to carry her which can get tiring (even if she is small :). This would be pawfect!
I have 2 Chihuahuas and we could use this on our farm.
Little Bit really seems to be enjoying the ride! So cute.
I wonder can you just turn it around and carry the dog in front (like a baby).
My dog would love this.
Wow.. Great idea.. Thanks so much for this info…
I think it is so cute and such a clever product. Nice solution for those wanting to take their pets on walks
Milo would end up licking the back of my neck like the dog in the picture, but I wouldn’t mind.
I love this! Sure would allow me to take my Christy places she normally could not go. Love the hook up around the neck. Looks secure!
i have 2 small dog s but i now bot
h would wnat to get in t his and have me c carry it
and would use for both of them
How much does little bit weigh and which size bag do you have? Please and thank you.
Little Bit is 7.5 pounds and has the X-Small. However, the sizing also depends on length and girth of the dog. You can see the sizing on their website.
