Is there anything worse than cabin fever with
an energetic dog? Many of us love staying active all year long with our dogs
but we struggle with how to do so in cold weather. Winter’s next-best adventure
may just come in the form of an activity you don’t even know about yet:
skijoring. If you love to be outside [...]

We’ve
got a confession to make: even some of the Kurgo office dogs put on a few extra
pounds from indulgent eating during the holiday season. The good news? New Year’s
always brings a resurgence of healthy eating habits, and dogs can benefit from
these changes too! A few years ago, when we were compiling our Holiday Cookbook for Dogs, [...]

Have you ever had a heart-to-heart
with your dog about self-improvement? New Year, new you, right? While the Kurgo office dogs are key
to keeping this place running, sometimes they misbehave too. Occasionally we catch someone rummaging through the trash, hoping they’ve
struck gold in the form of to someone’s leftover sandwich. It’s also
not uncommon to have to [...]

There’s
a secret a lot of people don’t know about our co-founder Gordie’s dog, Baxter.
He absolutely hates riding in the
car. He nervously shakes almost every time he gets into the car, and his
family works hard to calm him down on longer road trips to make travel more
relaxing for him. The holidays can be extra tough as [...]

with friends, family, and our pets, of course, is fun and festive. For those of
us with pets, however, we may not realize that some of our decorations and
celebrations can cause harm to our animals. From Christmas trees to holiday
plants and cookies and treats within easy access to curious [...]

We have a confession to make. When our co-founder Gordie’s
dog was six, he spent a cold night outside in Vermont in early March. For those who don’t
know, it’s more like “In like a lion, out like a lion” up there in late winter. Fortunately,
the temperatures did not dip too low, but it was still very [...]

Your Kurgo package arrives on a brisk November afternoon and you're very excited and eager to try out your dog's new coat on your daily walk together. The only problem? The coat is so snug that it would be a better fit for your neighbor's cat. Nothing is worse than when your enthusiasm immediately fades [...]

As the holidays approach, dog enthusiasts everywhere are in search of the perfect gift for their adventuring furry friends. After all, dogs are part of the family, and we want to find a special way to celebrate them too. Here at Kurgo, we are dedicated to creating products that allow you and your dog to [...]

This review is from Kurgo Ambassador Ella Lobdell of @gusandtug_frenchiesAs a small dog owner,
you may wonder if your best friend can safely join you on long hikes, walks,
and extended adventures. You may think that small breeds are solely lap
dogs, and not capable of the same athletic abilities of larger dogs but you are wrong! [...]

With the holidays upon us, it's time to connect with friends and family and show our love and appreciation for one another. It's also a great time to pause and celebrate how grateful we are for our canine companions.  We are thankful for all of the outdoor adventures and road trips we've enjoyed with them [...]

Most
furry friends we know will be hoping for an invitation to the table for the
Thanksgiving Day eat-a-thon. Who can blame them? With all the delicious aromas
wafting out of the kitchen, they will be eagerly awaiting something to drop on
the floor or better yet to end up in their bowl. It’s easy to understand why turkey
with [...]

Known for its Palmetto trees, Spanish moss lined walkways,
and sandy beaches, South Carolina’s hiking trails are definitely a well-kept
secret! If mossy lined trails leading to breathtaking waterfalls, views of
dense green rolling mountains, or clear blue lake views are your ideal
destinations, South Carolina’s trails are definitely worth the hike! Even
better yet, you’ll have a hard time [...]
