Interior Tether
While all dogs enjoy walks, some are known for their rambunctious behavior. That is especially true for canines that like to chase cats and other dogs. You will never need to worry about your dog jumping out of the Kurgo Dog Carrier, as it is designed with an interior tether. After putting your dog inside the carrier, you will need to attach his/her harness to the tether.
Water-Resistant Design
When you are out and about, you are never guaranteed that a rainstorm will not brew up. To protect your pet and its accessories, Kurgo designed its dog carrier from the highest quality fabric with water-resistant qualities. Even if the bag gets soaked, it will not sustain any damage. When you return home, you can simply wipe the carrier down with a dry towel and hang it up to air dry.
Low Maintenance
Dogs are like small children, they can leave a mess everywhere they go. To ensure a quick, easy, and thorough cleanup, the bottom of the dog carrier is constructed of easy-to-clean fabric. Armorsole fabric is low maintenance, so you can spend more time taking your dog for walks and less time cleaning. When the bottom becomes soiled just wipe it down with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. This design will keep the bottom of the carrier looking new longer.
Large Interior Compartment
Your dog’s comfort and safety is always on the back of your mind at all times. To reduce these concerns, the Kurgo Dog Carrier is designed with a large interior compartment. If your dog weighs 15 pounds or less, he/she will have plenty of space to move around during transport. Your dog’s flexibility is guaranteed to not be restricted in the least.
To ensure a thorough clean, the interior pad where the dog sits or lays is removable. Remove the pad, throw it in the washer, and allow to air dry after each use if you desire. The dog carrier is extremely easy to take care of.
Overall Assessment
The Kurgo Dog Carrier is ideal for pet lovers on-the-go. The carrier features padded shoulder straps and interior to ensure the highest level of comfort for dog and owner. If you do not want to carry the carrier on your shoulder, you can utilize the padded handle instead. The zippers are heavy duty and work extremely well. The low-maintenance design makes this one of the easiest dog carriers to care for. The mesh material will ensure adequate ventilation for you and your pet. To provide additional support while decreasing the risk of back and shoulder pain, the carrier is designed with a sternum strap and hip belt.
