Veterinary stretcher
The Vartoviy K9 veterinary evacuation stretcher is a tactical means for fast, safe transport of injured, weakened or immobilized dogs. Made of durable water-resistant PVC fabric sized 750×1250 mm and fitted with six reinforced handles, it lets two or more people evacuate the animal while distributing the weight evenly. The stretcher is indispensable for K9 handlers, veterinarians, search-and-rescue services, humanitarian demining units, police and the military. The sheet deploys quickly, is easy to clean and withstands disinfectants, while folded it takes up minimal space in a trunk or kit. It suits both service and working dogs and pets during emergency veterinary care.
Design and material
The stretcher is based on dense water-resistant PVC fabric, resistant to dirt and chemical cleaners. Unlike ordinary fabric carriers, this sheet does not absorb liquids, so it is easy to disinfect after each use. Six reinforced handles are placed around the perimeter — they let you carry the animal with two, three or four people, depending on the dog's weight and the terrain. The sheet holds the animal's body in a stable position and keeps it from sliding during transport.

Use cases
- Combat and service K9 work. Evacuating an EOD or patrol dog from a danger zone when the animal can't move on its own.
- Search and rescue. Transporting a dog after long work on rubble, in the mountains or on water.
- Veterinary aid. Carrying the animal to a vehicle or clinic with limb or spine injuries or after surgery.
- Humanitarian demining and police. Fast evacuation of a service dog in the field.
How to use
Spread the stretcher on a flat surface, carefully move the dog onto it and secure the body. Position the carriers along the handles so the weight is balanced, and lift the sheet at the same time. After use, rinse the PVC with water, treat with a disinfectant if needed and dry before folding — this extends the material's service life.
