Kurgo Launches Modern Backpack for the Commuter

and the Adventurous: the K9 Rucksack™ - Visit us at Global Pet Expo, Booth #1035 -

(Orlando, Fla.) March 20, 2019 – Kurgo, the pet travel, pet safety and adventure experts, are ecstatic to announce the release of their newest innovation, the K9 Rucksack™, at Global Pet Expo, Booth #1035, a mountaineering silhouetted pack and a newly engineered way to carry your pet in the company’s first Kickstarter Campaign. From a company born with the mission of making it easier to Go-Together with your dog, Kurgo launches the versatile, ergonomic, and modern new design of the K9 Rucksack to reinvent how you travel with your dog. Designed for small dogs (and cats are cool too!) with big spirit, the K9 Rucksack’s technical design and rugged construction is tough enough for backcountry adventures, yet comfortable enough for your daily commute. From the street, to the trails, campsites, the farmer’s market and more, the K9 Rucksack has your back. The K9 Rucksack is Kurgo’s first Kickstarter Campaign and endeavor to strengthen the connection between functional, adventurous design and the day-to-day needs of our consumer. “For a long time, we have been looking for ways to get direct design feedback from our awesome supporters in the early stages of product development,” said Kitter Spater, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Kurgo. “We believe in an evolutionary design process that

starts with the consumer and never ends; we are always looking to improve our products and designs using real people and real dogs to help with the process, and a Kickstarter Campaign is the perfect way to execute that.” Designed using durable water-resistant fabrics throughout, with a waterproof and muck proof Armor-sole™ bottom, the K9 Rucksack can be wiped clean and includes removeable, machine-washable interior padding. Able to fit pets up to 25-pounds, the K9 Rucksack’s contoured shoulder straps, air mesh back padding, and sternum strap offer superior support and comfort for long excursions and commutes. For the on-the-go commuter, the K9 Rucksack includes a separate padded and fleece-lined compartment for your laptop, doubling as a water bladder slot for the adventurous, a tablet pocket, two utility loops for additional gear, zipped organizational pockets, and like all Kurgo products, a bottle opener. The interior swivel tether latches onto any harness or collar keeping your dog or cat secure at all times. The K9 Rucksack will ship in April 2019 for KickStarter pledgers and will be available at retail in Summer 2019 and will retail for $115.00. For more information on the K9 Rucksack, visit us at Global Pet Expo, Booth #1035, or for interview opportunities, please contact Kerry Sutherland at [email protected] or (775) 360-6101.
