The best dog strollers and carriages

Best dog strollers reviewed. A dog stroller is the best way to take your dog outdoors and keep it close, whether you’re going for a morning, evening walk, shopping mall, or outing. With a pet stroller, you won’t have to worry about picking up your dog (tired and struggling to walk) and carrying them halfway through your walk. Ride your pup in style or for practical reasons (dog has grown old or has serious health problems). You get dog strollers for small, medium and large dogs.

Introduction

While its always better to let your dog walk alongside so that even s/he get some exercise, it’s just not possible if the dog has grown old or has health problems. But, you really don’t have to confine your dog indoors or in the backyard just because of these reasons, especially if the dog loves going outdoors.

That’s why you need a dog stroller.

A Dog Stroller is a great product that you can buy for your most loved fairy pet. With dog strollers, you can take your dog or puppy out for a stroll. While you walk (or jog), your pup can enjoy fresh air and also enjoy the great view outside.

There are many who think that dog strollers are over-rated equipment and really don’t understand why would anybody spend so much on their dogs. But then they have never owned a dog.

Dog’s who’re injured love their strollers because it becomes their mobile ‘kennel’ which allows them go outdoors. A dog stroller allows you to take your dog outdoors for long walks and makes them happy. A dog/pet stroller is perfectly suited for small to medium dogs.

Two pressing reasons why you will need a stroller for your dog:

1. Your dog is injured
2. Your dog is old and unable to walk

In these cases, a stroller is the best way to get your dog some fresh air in the park.

Top Reasons to Use a Dog Stroller

Here are some examples of owners who have given the thumbs up to pet strollers.

• Owner of a Bichon says that his Bichon loved walks but after a spinal surgery could not use his rear legs.
  When he takes the ‘healthy’ dog out a walk, the injured one whines and doesn’t understand why he’s asked to stay back home. That’s when the owner decided to buy a dog stroller, and he’s really happy with his decision.
• Another owner of a medium size dog lives in NYC, and says “Cabs aren’t required to pick up animals and in subways, animals have to be completely enclosed. Since I don’t have a car, the stroller is the only way to transport my dog. The dog is too big for a handbag, but fits well in the dog stroller.
• A dog stroller is a practical way to get your dog on the subway, in case you don’t want to take your car in the city. A stroller allows you to take your dog on the commuter rail and subway with no issues or extra cost. There are certain times where the dog stroller is really essential.
• Another dog stroller owner says that once his dog got old, he just couldn’t walk as much as he used to do before, although he loved the outdoors. A dog stroller allows us to enjoy the outdoors together! All those nay-sayers (about dog strollers) apparently don’t have any dogs – or don’t really care about them!
• Some dogs turn macho the moment they step out of the house, and have the tendency to bark at or bite walkers. A dog stroller is a great way to contain them, and you could still go outdoors.
• If your neighborhood has several big, aggressive dogs, and the one you have is small, the dog stroller is a great way to protect your little one.
• With a dog stroller, the next time you go to the farmers market, you can take your dog along. The basket at the bottom can hold the produce, while the dog is seated in the dog stroller. Otherwise you will have to leave the dog at home and take a shopping/cart basket instead.
• Certain owners find it easier to walk (and more energetic) while holding the handle of the stroller. They enjoy having something to push, as it makes them want to move forward. If your doctor has advised you to walk more, a dog stroller could be that incentive to walk more.

Note: Certain shops (especially where food is sold) may not allow entry of the dog in their establishment even with the dog in a stroller. Most stores do NOT allow you to enter with them.

You get a [easyazon_link identifier=”B078LYP4XB” locale=”US” tag=”strollers0e2-20″ cart=”n”]3-in-1 pet stroller[/easyazon_link] that becomes a back pack, a stroller, and a car seat, and are perfect for traveling. These are airline approved and allows you to easily walk long distances in airports. The wheels can be taken off and it becomes the carrier for under the seat (as airlines require) flying on airplanes.

Types of Dog strollers

Dog strollers are becoming increasingly popular, and you can increasingly see them in parks and shopping centers. There’s a big market for strollers especially for little Woofie when his paws get a bit tired.

Take a closer look at the “mum” passing you next time you’re at the shopping center. Glance inside that Baby Jogger and chances are that you will see a pet inside. You get pushchairs, with accessories including drink holder and luggage basket, flat bassinet for dogs.

Just like for babies, these prams come in all shapes and sizes – you get basic foldaway stroller with little wheels (that nicely fit in the boot of small cars); fancier European designs with mix-and-match color combos, you also get Doggie Jogger models with three wheels. They even come with detachable dog car seat travel systems, so you can transport Fido from pram to car without having to wake him up.

 

 

There are a few specialist double prams for “twins” and even for quadruplets.

And it’s not just prams that you can buy; you can buy baby doggie carrier, hippie sling, dog pouch as well. You get dog diapers, dog baby bottles, dog cribs, dog clothes and dog swaddles as well.

Factors to Consider When Buying a Dog Stroller

Things to look for in a dog stroller:

• Needs to be spacious with enough storage space beneath
• Should be sturdy to hold the pet
• Adjustable zippered cover is preferred as it helps protect from sunlight (whenever it’s needed).

Owners treat their dogs like babies

Dogs are lovely companions, they are always happy, give you all the importance in the world, and they are ever ready to give you a nice big hug.

No wonder then some dog owners are really obsessed with their dogs, probably to thank them in order to make their lives so much better.

Parasol on Dog Stroller

Summer heat can get unbearable and its harmful for the skin too. That is why its so important to have big canopies on strollers, and some even use a parasol / umbrella to protect from the heat.

In this case, the overprotective mother won’t let UV burn her baby’s delicate skin, perfect for those sunny days.

Perhaps, she needs to adjust the angle of the parasol more so that the sun doesn’t come directly on the dog’s eyes.

 

 

Double / Triple Stroller

So this parent doesn’t want to buy a separate baby stroller and a dog stroller. Both the dog and human baby are raised as equals. I think its a great idea.

This looks like a double stroller, with a jump seat attached – One baby, and two dogs.

 

 

Harness for Safety

5-point safety harness are commonly used for enhanced baby’s safety / protection, and these are convenient to use as well.

In this case, a harness is used for a dog. I think the dog also loves it, as he seems to be enjoying the nap while being seated, tied in the harness.

Toddler walking her pup in a stroller

A little girl taking her Yorkshire terrier in a stroller for a regular day grocery shopping, and what is more amazing is that throughout the stroll, the Yorkshire dog remains completely calm in the stroller (there’s a safety harness that keeps it in place).

However, there were some who pointed out that dogs are not allowed in a grocery store (violation of federal health code). “Dogs are not permitted in grocery stores! It puts a threat to service dogs who are medical equipment and required by their handler!”

Students buy Stroller for beloved therapy dog

Students in Amy Bullard’s fourth-grade class at Gayman Elementary School recently bought a stroller for an 11-year-old pug who had started having trouble getting around. The pug had been paying regular visits to the class along as part of the Roxy Therapy Dogs partnership with the school district.

 

 

The students noticed that the dog was having a hard time walking on the slippery floors of their school, and the owner had to carry the pug from the school’s office down to Bullard’s class, a strenuous exercise for the owner. But thanks to the stroller, Gus now has a much easier time making his way around the school. The owner was touched by the gift and feels its indeed a practical way to show appreciation for their beloved therapy dog.

Man doesn’t give up on elderly, blind dog, brings him to park in stroller

While its common to see a baby stroller at a park with a doting mother at the helm, it would raise eyebrows if one saw a stroller that had no baby inside, and a strange man was bending over it.

A jogger saw a similar scene and went over to get a closer look. He quickly realized what the man was really up to and immediately took a picture, which went viral.

“Most afternoons I take a run through Discovery Green, and most afternoons I see this guy with a stroller but no baby. He brings this beautiful… what appears to be… disabled pup to the park. He lets it sit in the grass and take in the smell and the sound. Here he is giving it water out of a small cup he brings with him. An adorable dog and a nice guy- God bless ’em.”

In this case, Troy’s aging Sheltie can no longer walk on his own due to arthritis. He’s grown old, cannot see with one eye and has cataract in the other.

However, Troy doesn’t want the pooch to miss out on all the fun of being outside, so he uses a baby stroller to give Max some much needed mobility. Max just comes alive when he’s outside!

The owners aren’t going to give up on their pooch just because he’s elderly. The baby stroller proves just how far they’ll go to make sure he gets all the love and attention he needs.

Tired Puppy Climbs onto Baby Stroller During Walk

Halfway through a walk with his caretakers, this clever bulldog puppy found the perfect spot in the back of the baby stroller (storage area) to take a nap break. He figured it out that the stroller is a nice gear resting spot (probably after seeing the baby).

Just thought of another use of a stroller (buggy) board. Your pet can rest on the buggy board (just in case your storage basket area is occupied).

Closing Thoughts

Many find seeing a dog in a stroller a hilarious sight. For them, strollers are for human babies, and if a dog is using one, its most probably a pampered one. However, that may not always be true. Some dogs genuinely needs a stroller due to illness — poor vision, arthritis, old age are known problems. A stroller provides senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities, the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. So the next time you see a doggy in a stroller, don’t laugh at them and give a cookie instead.
