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.

Can a male dog urinate while wearing this harness lift?

The Up & About Lifter was designed to wrap around your pet’s ribcage and should not hinder a male pet’s ability to urinate with the harness on.

Our older arthritic Border Collie could no longer jump into our car. We tried ramps to no avail. This device worked! And he tolerated it around him since we believe it was close to the feeling of the harness we walk him with. Takes two of us since he's 50 lbs. But it is very strong and easy for us to lift him. Easily folds up and out of the way. Great for travel.

Our 12 year old Collie girl is 75 lbs & arthritic. This is incredibly helpful in getting her up & saving our backs. Another plus is that she seems to have more confidence with the harness on, much like a thunder vest. When I remove it to groom her, she wants it back on.

Our sweet Labrador is nearing 14 years old and is having mobility issues. This harness allowed her to go down (and back up) the porch and deck steps outside, without having to be carried. When she was having lots of difficulty, this harness was comfortable enough for her to wear all day. She has been having some really good days lately, and the harness is easy to put on to take her outside, and easy to remove when we get back inside.

I love the quality and the usefulness of the harness for helping my dog use the stairs. The problem is that it is one size and definitely for a larger dog. My male Lab/Pitty is 72 pounds and it is on the larger size for him. I was hoping to be able to put it on him and leave it on while he went to the bathroom. I have to take it off for potty since he peed right on it. His little "buddy" gets caught around the adjustment under the belly.

Supporting the dog may keep her from falling

Hopefully, it’ll help me this winter to keep her from falling on the doorstep when she goes out to go potty

I had good intentions but unfortunately my dog is too heavy to lift because I am old. But it really looks like a great product. I called to return it but a very very nice lady named Denise could totally understand why I wanted to return it. She was so professional and knowledgeable! I give her 5 stars!!!

Easy to put on. SallyBelle was comfortable in it and it made it easy for this 120 pound woman to help her down our ramp.

This lift has been a lifesaver for my 15 yr old large dog, and for me as well! So thankful this is offered for us to help our sweeties who need some help! I have X a bad back, neck n carpel tunnel n lifting is not what I am to be doing, BUT this lift is a really HUGE HELP to assist my 56 LB girl n not hurt myself!! The lift handle is in just the right place to work well, and significantly reduces chance of the one doing the lifting of injury! Without this lift, I would be unable to assist my sweet girl as she now needs!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
