"With rising kennel fees and an increasing number of dog friendly holidays traveling with your canine companion has never been more popular. Pet travel safety brand Kurgo produces a wide range of innovative travel products that protect your dog from harm as well as keeping them from causing a distraction to the driver.   
Kurgo is one of the fastest growing companies in the US and Canada and is set to become equally as popular in the UK. Kurgo manufacture innovative, high quality pet travel products, including harnesses, booster seats, in-car barriers, hammocks, steps and seat protectors.
As a nation of animal lovers, UK motorists regularly transport their canine companions. 80% of Brits agree belting up is an important safety measure however; unnervingly 60% have never used a dog harness or seatbelt to keep their dog secure. Research revealed by Autoglass® found that 7 out of 10 motorists don’t realise they can receive a fine, or even points on their licence, if police officers see that a dog is unrestrained in the car - particularly if it is moving around and distracting the driver."

Rocky being in his Kurgo Wander Carrier:


Review: I think the Kurgo Wander Carrier is great. It has the perfect size for Rocky and he was very comfortable in it straight away. As Rocky loves being in a carrier he immediately went inside on his own to lay down.
I like that this is a good carrier to take along with you on a bus or train, etc. but is a carrier which is also suitable for the car as it can be safely buckled up. I think the feature of the webbing loops for the car buckle is therefore great!
Due to my experiences of flying with a dog I can additionally say that the Kurgo Wander Carrier would also be suitable for transporting a small dog (or cat) in the aircraft cabin.
Another great feature is that this carrier can be opened via 3 doors (front, top and back), which is quite rare. The padded carry handles and the padded shoulder strap make carrying this carrier very convenient and comfortable.
Moreover, I like that the Wander Carrier has a waterproof bottom which means that no moisture can seep through.
So, overall the Kurgo Wander Carrier is a great carrier for on the go and in the car, and both me and Rocky like it.
