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.

Questions & Answers

6 Customer Questions


Do you just tie this tether in a knot to the vehicle's seat belt or does it attach some other way?

Answer by ChewyApr 30, 2024
To install this tether either pass the seat belt through the loop of the tether and then buckle the seat belt or buckle the seat belt and then loop the tether around the shoulder strap.

Would like to know whitch one is the best on a dog that is 20 lbs.

Answer by ChewyJan 27, 2020
This tether is suitable for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and weights.

Has this product been crash tested?

Answer by ChewyJun 09, 2022
The Swivel Tether has not been crash tested. Only the Kurgo Enhanced Strength Tru-Fit Smart Harness and Impact Harness have been crash tested.

Does this keep them in one spot or can they move around? If you have multiple dogs can they tangle themselves up?

Answer by ChewyDec 09, 2019
The Kurgo Swivel Seat-Belt Tether is 10 inches long. With the tether being fairly short, the pet will have minimal range of movement. Depending on where the tether is placed on the seat belt will determine if the pet can sit up or lay down comfortably.

Awesome for our medium dogs

The swivel is amazing at dealing with our dogs moving back and forth and they don’t get all tied up. Keeps them safe and helps my anxious dog relax.

Redesign of tether is smaller and poorly made

I just purchased the tether on the left assuming it would be the same one I purchased years ago (it's the design depicted in the description). The new one is weaker

I just purchased the tether on the left assuming it would be the same one I purchased years ago (it's the design depicted in the description). The new one is weaker in comparison and has a much lower caribeaner rating of kN 7 vs kN 20. I'm so disappointed and hoping I can find the earlier model locally.

Short leash for tall dog.

We like the swivel and the length. Purchased it for a dog car harness but the harness didn’t work out so we use it for a short leash and it’s awesome.

Safety for in the car

It’s a great restraint, but it appears the company is making them a little smaller than they were a number of years ago.

Quality

Great quality attachment for the seat belt that doubles as a small lead. Holds my dog in the vehicle great without tangling and unlike other brands she can't move

Great quality attachment for the seat belt that doubles as a small lead. Holds my dog in the vehicle great without tangling and unlike other brands she can't move around until she steps on the buckle and releases herself so I can rest easy knowing she'll be more safe.

Pictures Don't Match

It doesn't match the posted picture, see my picture. Seems like it's ok product, but I bought it because of how strong the pictures made the carabiner look, then

Perfect addition

We have the kurgo harness and the original tether it came with but the swivel definitely gives her more freedom.

Easy to use

We had a pet seatbelt like this one before. It is easy to use and the pet can stand, sit, and lay comfortably.

Good quality, But

Tether was much shorter than I expected and seriously doubt that it is going to work on my 60lb Coonhound
