Knoxville, TN – Since 2003, Kurgo has made the gear that gets people and dogs confidently out into the world. Pale Morning Media is pleased to announce its partnership with Kurgo, the outdoor dog brand committed to companionship and quality gear for adventurous dogs.
From dogs in the car to dogs at camp, Kurgo is all about the “GO.” Kurgo started with car seat covers designed to keep a big muddy hound dog named Zelda from jumping into the front seat and under her owner’s feet as he attempted to drive. After one too many close calls on the way home from the trailhead, the first prototype of what would later become the Backseat Barrier was created in a garage.
“You can’t blame Zelda for being grateful for a long hike,” said Keith Anderson, associate director of brand at Kurgo. “But keeping a happy, energetic … and filthy … dog contained in the car made those hikes easier and safer for everyone involved. It shouldn’t be a big deal to take your dog out for a hike, but there can definitely be some challenges, and that’s where Kurgo comes in.”
All Kurgo products are backed by a lifetime warranty, and Kurgo gear overwhelmingly rates better than four stars on Amazon reviews. From comfortable walking harnesses and car safety accessories to coats, leashes and everything you need to make life easier when poop happens, Kurgo has you and your pup covered.
Kurgo is also part of the Pet Products Standards Council, a group dedicated to creating open-source crash-test standards for dog safety harnesses. These standards are derived from the Federal Motor Safety Standard for Child Restraint Systems, and Kurgo safety harnesses are tested at the same facility that conducts car seat testing for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
