Dog strollers\u00a0are\u00a0not only for celebrities and the well to do, they seem to be popping up everywhere at the moment. Although you are more likely to see a\u00a0Chihuahua in one rather than a larger breed there are pet strollers available for dogs of all sizes.<\/p>\n
But why would anyone want a dog stroller, after all most of my canine friends are more than capable of walking around without issue. While exercise is an important part of a dogs daily life there are times when you may fins life a lot easier with the help of a stroller.<\/p>\n
Puppies are a good example. You may want to take them down the local park for a run but don’t feel that they are old enough to take along the busy sidewalks safely. So just pop them in a stroller and off you go. Maybe you like jogging but don’t feel like breaking your routine to chase after a wayward pooch. With a dog stroller you don’t have to worry about where your dog and you get an extra workout by pushing the buggy.<\/p>\n
No more carrying your sick animals down to the vet. You get my point. Having a dog buggy can make life easier, but what type of stroller is best for you?<\/p>\n
With our Dog Stroller\u00a0Buying Guide<\/strong> we aim to enlighten you to the point that you can make an informed decision and buy a door that fits your needs and those of your pooch perfectly.<\/p>\n The main considerations when buying a dog stroller\u00a0are:<\/p>\n We’ll take a look at all of these points below where I’ll describe them in better detail.<\/p>\n You’ll also need to check the maximum weight that the stroller can handle and make sure that it’s strong enough to handle your dogs weight.<\/p>\n If you buy a stroller that is too large then you may find that not only will your animal slide around in the seat but it could be too bulky to fit in the back of your car or store in a closet.<\/p>\n If your dog is old or suffers from arthritis or joint pain then you’ll need to make sure that your chosen stroller is comfortable enough. If you have more than one dog then you may want to consider a multi-pet stroller.<\/p>\n The type of activity that you intend on doing with your dog stroller will impact on the type of stroller you end up buying. While a small, light buggy may be enough if you just plan on making quick trips down to the local shops if you plan on going jogging or off-road then you’re going to need something that is a lot more robust with better wheel and possibly suspension.<\/p>\n Cheaper models tend to have four small rubber wheels (two front and two back) more expensive jogging versions will come with three larger pneumatic tires (two back and one front).<\/p>\n Carrying on from above, once you know the intended use of the dog stroller then you’ll have a better idea as to any extra features that you require. Suspension, pneumatic tires, brakes, rain canopy, shopping basket are all options available to you.<\/p>\n Larger strollers are great running through the grass but they tend not to be as maneuverable as the small four wheel varieties (something to bear in mind if you’re going to be in and out of elevators).<\/p>\n Check the instructions for collapsing the buggy. Although most mechanisms are similar, some are more robust than others and less likely to break.<\/p>\n Brakes and a harness can help to secure your animal and make sure that this doesn’t happen.<\/p>\n There are so many situations where you can use a dog stroller (on trips, train travel, shopping or anywhere your dog is unfamiliar with) that you’ll wonder how you ever managed to do without one in the first place.<\/p>\nWhat to Look for when Buying Dog\u00a0Stroller<\/h2>\n

It’s important to buy a dog stroller that suits the size of your animal. If you have puppies then consider how big they are going to grow and base your decision on that. Remember that animals can be restless beasts and so choose a buggy that can accommodate them if they want to lie down or stretch out.<\/p>\nDog Stroller Intended Use<\/h2>\n

The last thing that you want to happen is for your dog to be able to get out of the stroller or for it to go rolling down the street when you leave it along for a second.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/h2>\n
