K-9 Litter
North American Rescue — Working-Dog Evacuation Litter K-9 Litter A compact, lightweight nylon litter engineered for the rapid evacuation of injured military and law-enforcement wor king dogs. Leg cutouts position the dog safely; six large and four small carry handles enable balanced 1–4 person carries; and a packaged size that fits a cargo pocket ensures working dogs get the same extraction capability as their handlers. 15.3 ozLeg cutouts10 handlesCargo-pocket size Military working dogs and LE K-9s face the same ballistic, blast, and trauma risks as their handlers — but a standard human litter is poorly suited to canine anatomy when the dog goes down and needs to move fast. How do you evacuate an injured working dog quickly and securely? The K-9 Litter is a species-specific design built for operational canine casualty care. Its defining feature is the leg cutouts, which let the dog rest in a natural orientation with legs through the cutouts rather than folded or constrained — improving security, reducing stress on injured limbs, and giving handlers a more stable carry platform. Six large and four small carry handles enable balanced 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-person carries depending on team availability and terrain. At 15.3 oz and packed to 5.5 × 10 × 1.75″, it stores in a standard cargo pocket, K-9 handler pouch, or vehicle kit without meaningful weight. The Litter + Straps + Carabiners combo adds carry straps and carabiners for rigging on longer-distance or vehicle-assisted evacuations. Why This Litter Canine-Specific Leg Cutouts Natural positioning that reduces stress on injured limbs and improves security. 10 Handles, 1–4 Carriers Six large + four small handles scale the carry to the team and terrain. Cargo-Pocket Packable 15.3 oz, packs to 5.5 × 10 × 1.75″ — always on the handler. Rigging-Ready Combo Optional straps + carabiners for longer-distance or vehicle-assisted moves.

Post-treatment transport to veterinary care: Stabilizes the dog after initial field treatment and prevents further injury during the movement phase to a veterinarian. Confined-space casualty extraction: The litter's dimensions and carry system are designed for moving a K-9 through building interiors, vehicles, and confined tactical environments. Multiple-handler carries: Designed for two-person carries — one handler at each end — matching the typical K-9 team structure without requiring additional personnel. Urban search and rescue canine operations: USAR teams use the K-9 Litter for safe extraction of injured search dogs from rubble, collapsed structures, and elevated positions. Best practice: Measure your assigned dog's length and width before deployment — a litter that requires folding or constraining the patient creates secondary injury risk. Confirm fit during team training, not during a casualty event. How K-9 Litter Compares K-9 Litter vs. improvised carry: A coat, tarp, or standard human litter introduces patient stability risks and handler fatigue for a canine patient whose weight distribution is unlike a human. The K-9 Litter is sized and configured for the canine patient. K-9 Litter vs. standard human litters: Standard military litters are designed for a 200+ lb adult human patient. A working dog is typically 50–90 lb with different weight distribution. The K-9 Litter matches canine patient geometry for stable, controlled transport. K-9 Litter vs. K-9 RUF Medical Kit: The K-9 RUF Medical Kit provides the canine medical treatment capability. The K-9 Litter provides the evacuation platform — both are required elements of a complete K-9 casualty response system. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What weight capacity does the K-9 Litter support? A: The K-9 Litter is designed for working dog weights in the typical 50–90 lb range. Verify specific load ratings against your unit's dog weights before operational use. Q: Is the K-9 Litter compatible with standard military vehicle loading points? A: The K-9 Litter is designed for manual two-person carry. Vehicle loading compatibility depends on your platform — verify dimensions against vehicle loading points during pre-mission planning. Q: Does the K-9 Litter pack down for patrol carry? A: Specific pack-down dimensions and carry configuration should be verified on the product page. Most K-9 litter systems fold or roll to a compact carry form for patrol and dismounted operations. Q: Is this the same litter used by U.S. military K-9 teams? A: North American Rescue K-9 products are fielded by U.S. military working dog teams and law enforcement K-9 units. Confirm current fielding status and NSN with MED-TAC International for procurement purposes. Q: What is the NSN for the K-9 Litter? A: Contact MED-TAC International for K-9 Litter NSN, DLA, and GSA procurement information for military and law enforcement agency orders.
