NAR K-9 Litter

We keep this strapped in the truck for backcountry calls, and it's already earned its spot. The rigid frame holds my 70-pound lab steady while two people carry him, which matters when you're on uneven ground.

My shepherd tore a ligament on a trail last month and we had to get him out over rough ground, this litter made that possible without four people struggling. The handles are positioned well and the whole thing stayed rigid even on uneven dirt. Wish I'd bought one years ago.

We used this to carry our 90 lb lab down a muddy trail after he cut his pad, and the litter held him steady the whole way. The handles are balanced enough that two people can move at a decent pace without the dog sliding around.
