Top Reasons for getting a Dog Stroller
-
EVENTSConcerts, festivals, country fairs, events. When you take your dog along to a crowded event it can often be difficult to control them. In crowds a leash can easily get tangled up round someones legs, causing both them and your dog grief. Worse still it can be really easy for your best friend to get stepped on and injured. When we took our dog along to a local farmers market she was hoovering up every scrap of food on the floor, devouring every morsel she could find in the rubbish, it was really tricky to stop her. With a dog stroller these problems are avoided, you will also find that you can take your dog with you to places where they are usually restricted from visiting. In a dog stroller you pet is guaranteed the best seat at any gig or outdoor festival!
-
VISIT TO THE VETSIf your pet has broken limbs or any kind of ailment, it is comforting for them to be in their dog buggy, and you can get to and from the clinic safely and with the least amount of fuss. We don’t drive and the vets is a long walk from home, with a stroller we can be sure to get our little chum to the vets without having to pay for expensive taxi’s. On the way home from the vets after any sort of anaesthetic your dog can be drowsy and disorientated which can prove dangerous as they don’t have their normal wits about them. Keep them safe and sound in a comfy and familiar dog stroller. Having your dog in the stroller while waiting in the vets waiting room is also a bonus. They can be left alone in peace, without other irritated dogs stressing them out, especially if they are poorly.
-
INCREASED QUALITY TIMEWherever you go with a dog stroller, nine times out of ten, you can take your pet with you. A doggie stroller will mean you don’t have to leave them at home as often as you used to. Out with friends to a pet friendly beer garden? You will find your dog can settle and relax in the stroller allowing you to relax and not have to worry about them racing around and knocking over your friend carrying a tray of drinks, or going barmy because they spotted a squirrel in a tree!
-
OLDER DOGSDog strollers are terrific for when your dog is getting older and finding walks tire him or her quickly. Just like younger dogs an old dog still needs fresh air and sunlight, they will be happy to get out and about with the smells and sights of outdoors but be just as pleased to get back in the stroller when their legs are getting tired.
-
GREAT FOR USE AS A SHOPPING CARTUs dog owners know how tricky it can be sometimes trying to balance a dog pulling on it’s lead and two bags of groceries. Dog Strollers often have a huge compartment where you can put your shopping. This can also be really great for putting all your towels and bits and pieces when off to the beach with the kids, or for blanket and wrapped food when off for a picnic. Just remember not to exceed the weight limit.
-
SMALL DOGSSmall dogs have little legs. Little legs mean that they get tired quickly when having to walk long distances. If you have a dog stroller then as soon as they are getting tired you can pop them safely into the dog buggy. Don’t think that pushing your dog in the stroller is exercise for them though, you must only put him or her in there when they are tired and when you think they are rested they can get out again and walk outside.
-
TRAVELDog Strollers are much easier to use than pet carriers when travelling with your dog. You don’t have to carry or lift them and it is so much easier to take your luggage with you when using a dog stroller as opposed to a carrier. When travelling with your dog in a stroller you also have the security of knowing they will not get lost or run away in an unfamiliar and dangerous place. Check with transport companies first, but the majority are happy for you to take your pet on board in a stroller.
-
URBAN ‘TRAFFIC’If you live in a big and busy city and need to get your dog from your house, through the busy streets, to the local park or green space then using a dog stroller will make your life so much easier. A dog stroller can be so useful in the urban jungle because you will avoid your dog potentially getting wrapped around peoples legs, or worse still running into traffic.
-
PROTECTION FROM AGGRESSIVE ANIMALSThese days there seem to be more and more aggressive dogs about, and all too often these dogs are allowed to walk free without a leash. With your canine pal in a dog stroller you don’t have to worry about them being attacked, and you can wait until you know you are safe and sound before you let them out and give them a good run around.
-
MAXIMUM COMFORTIf you are out and about for the whole day then with a dog stroller you know that you dog has somewhere comfortable, shaded and cool where they can rest and take a nap. A day out with the dog can be so much easier when you know they are being taken care of too.
The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.
