Packing for a horse show is already enough work without forgetting about your four-legged co-pilot. Whether your dog is your loyal sidekick at the showgrounds or your trail companion between classes, having the right gear makes the trip smoother for both of you. From travel safety to mealtime convenience, these Kurgo products will keep your pup happy, healthy, and comfortable from load-up to last class.

1. Keep Your Vehicle Clean

Long show days mean muddy paws and dusty coats. The Kurgo Cargo Cape protects your cargo area from mess with waterproof, stain-resistant coverage. Built-in pockets give you a spot for leashes or toys, while the bumper flap keeps your vehicle scratch-free during loading. Quick clean-up? Yes, please.

2. Safer Travel

Your dog deserves a safe seatbelt setup just like you. The Direct to Seatbelt Swivel Tether clips directly into your vehicle’s seatbelt, offering tangle-free security. Adjustable length keeps your dog comfortable without letting them roam dangerously in the car. Ideal for trailers, trucks, and long road trips to shows.

3. Fresh Food, No Mess

Packing your dog’s food doesn’t have to involve giant bins or awkward Ziploc bags. The Kurgo Kibble Carrier holds up to 5 pounds of food in a waterproof, roll-top design that keeps kibble fresh. A bottom zip pocket holds treats or travel bowls, keeping everything you need in one compact, easy-to-carry bag.

4. Comfortable All-Day Wear

From early morning walks to afternoon strolls around the grounds, the Journey Air Harness is built for comfort and control. It features breathable fabric, a padded chest plate, four adjustment points for a secure fit, and front/back leash clips for versatile handling. Plus, it’s made with durable materials for active pups who are always on the go.

5. Be Ready for Anything

Horse shows can be unpredictable—be ready for minor scrapes, cuts, or bites with the Kurgo Dog First Aid Kit. This compact kit includes 50 essential pieces, from antiseptics to bandages, and comes with a helpful first aid guide. It’s small enough to tuck in your trailer or tack trunk but complete enough for real emergencies.

6. Let Them Carry Their Own Gear

Why haul everything yourself? The Kurgo Baxter Backpack lets your dog carry treats, water, or small supplies. With adjustable straps, breathable mesh, and reflective trim, it’s comfortable and safe even for active days on the showgrounds. Bonus: It includes a built-in bottle opener for your post-show drinks.

7. Beat the Heat

If you’re showing in the summer, the Core Cooling Vest is a must. Just wet it down, wring it out, and put it on your pup to help manage their body temperature through evaporative cooling. Reflective strips add visibility, while the breathable fabric keeps your dog cooler during those hot afternoon rounds.

Pack Smarter, Travel Easier

Your dog is part of the show team—make sure they’re just as prepared as your horse. With Kurgo’s travel-ready gear, you’ll spend less time worrying about spills, messes, or forgotten items and more time enjoying the show. From safe travels to clean cars and happy pups, Kurgo keeps life on the road easier for everyone.
