About Kurgo Gear

Kurgo believes that your dog deserves to go everywhere you go, safely and comfortably. Way back in the early 2000s, before dog travel gear was a thing, Kurgo set out to solve a problem: how to keep the family dog from jumping in the front seat of the car. After lots of brainstorming and prototypes, their Backseat Barrier was born. Twenty plus years later, they’re still finding new ways for you and your dog to go together in confidence.

Durable Hiking Pack

This pack seems quite durable, I really like the design of the straps with an extra clip underneath the chest so I don't have to put my dog's legs through the straps

This pack seems quite durable, I really like the design of the straps with an extra clip underneath the chest so I don't have to put my dog's legs through the straps. The weight distribution seems pretty stable, there wasn't much shifting during our multi-hour hike. Unfortunately, I should have ordered the larger size as the regular Baxter pack isn't large enough to hold a standard water bottle.

Good quality for the price, trusted name brand

It functions well but there is not a well-padded under-belly strap and it rubs behind where his legs meet his body. I will have to buy a separate shearling sleeve

I really like this brand and this particular dog backpack. I had the larger version of it for my Labrador for years. I got this same style only smaller for my new rescue mix 6 months old puppy. It has two main zipper compartments and two small zipper sections. I put a bottle of water on each side in the larger sections along with one small bag of treats and on the other side one Ziploc bag of kibble. Small zipper on one side has extra poo bags and on the other zipper small section is where we put his used double bagged waste bags to pack out on hikes. No more of us carrying poo bags since he carries his own poo out just like we carry our own garbage out in our own backpacks.

Waste of money

Received this item on January 4. About a week ago, put the vest on my dog and it just came apart. Luckily we figured out what happened before our dog did.

Fits well

My 65 pound Old English Sheepdog realizes immediately that when I put this on her we are going for a hike. Four pockets is just right.

In With the New

The same backpack was worn out. I noticed how much easier the clips were on my arthritic hands to open and close.

She loved it!

A GSD needs to work and when she has the backpack on, she is working and could not be happier.
