Kurgo post-script

So far, Kurgo hasn't published my negative review of their collaps-a-bowl BUT I did receive a very positive email response yesterday. 

"Kurgo does offer a lifetime warranty against manufacturers defects and having viewed the attached photos this would certainly be covered."

So they will be sending me a replacement bowl.  It will be interesting to see how long it lasts. 

In the meantime, I went ahead and ordered another Dexas bowl directly from the Dexas website.  FREE shipping and NO sales tax.  Can't beat that!!

NOT impressed with Kurgo!

Two - 2! - weeks ago, I purchased a Kurgo collaps-a-bowl.  In only two - count 'em - 2 weeks and with minimal usage, it has now developed a large split along the bottom fold rendering it totally useless.  And each time I had to use it on yesterday's walk, the split just got bigger and bigger.

Readers may recall my post about the Dexas collapsible bowl.  Well after 8 months of use, it's proved to be exceptionally durable. So why did I buy a Kurgo bowl?  Well, unfortunately, I left my Dexas bowl back in Canada and the only collapsible bowl I could readily find in a store was the Kurgo. 

I left a negative review of the Kurgo collaps-a-bowl on their website.  I wonder if they'll publish it. (Only highly positive reviews currently appear.)  In the meantime, I've also sent an email to Kurgo voicing my extreme dissatisfaction with their product.  Wonder if they will reply.

So, two BIG THUMBS UP to Dexas collapsible bowls & two big thumbs DOWN to Kurgo.  I'm going back to DEXAS!!!

Cool travel bowl

While at the Fiesta Cluster shows in Scottsdale, AZ, I bought a collapsible travel cup made by Dexas. 


It's very cool and fits easily into my fanny pack while I walk the dogs.  Carrying water for my poochies is mandatory when I exercise them.  I've tried 2 Outward Hound cloth bowls but each of them sprang leaks after varying amounts of time, one within about 4 weeks of purchase!  Then I went really cheap & just used a plastic container from a hummus spread. However this container is bulky and awkward to squeeze into the fanny pack along with a large bottle of water for the dogs.  Now I have a very nifty solution with this Dexas collapsible bowl.  It's only drawback?  The large size isn't that big & can't fit 3 Vizsla snouts in at the same time.  Dexas, you need to produce an extra large size!
