The Kurgo Journey: Where It All Began

The Kurgo brand has its roots in the dynamic duo of Kitter and Gordie Spater, Vermont natives and avid explorers alongside their family dogs. Fueled by their entrepreneurial drive and genuine affection for canines, the concept of Kurgo took shape. A pivotal role was played by Kitter's own dog, Zelda, whose endearing yet risky habit of leaping into the car's front seat catalyzed the brand's inception.

In response to Zelda's escapades, Kitter crafted the inaugural version of the Backseat Barrier in his own garage. This marked the genesis of Kurgo's journey, transforming it into a trailblazer in travel and safety solutions for dog owners confronting everyday challenges.

At Kurgo, the mantra can be distilled into one word: "go." This relentless forward momentum shapes every facet of the brand's existence – from the innovative products conceived to the causes that ignite their passion, all the way to the transformative impact they aspire to create in the lives of our valued customers.

To Kurgo, your dog embodies much more than a pet – they're a cherished companion, a family member, a hiking buddy, and a trusted accomplice on brewery tours. Together, you embark on remarkable journeys – whether traversing the globe's farthest corners or strolling down your neighborhood street. Our mission? To facilitate your joint ventures safely, comfortably, and joyously. This ethos is woven into the very fabric of Kurgo product design, making adventures with your canine a seamless endeavor.

Kurgo thrives on crafting products that elevate your excursions with your furry friend through intuitive, robust, and practical designs. The Kurgo team hold the honor of earning your trust in high regard, manifesting it through products of unwavering quality and supported by a lifetime warranty commitment.

Dogs hold a central place in the team's hearts, much like they do in yours. Embrace Kurgo's pledge to take your companionship even further, and let Kurgo be your ally on your shared journey.
