| What do you think about dog strollers?? Hi everyone, I would like to know what do you think about dogs in strollers? We have just added 2 little yorkies to our family and I was thinking about getting a stroller for them, mostly to take them to places where they normally wouldn't be allowed if not restrained and we also go camping a lot and go hiking, so I thought that if we had a stroller we could take them for long walks with us and if they got too tired we would put them in the stroller, but I don't want to look stupid or be judged for it . So what do you really think?? Thank you. |

| Thank you so much for your reply, I love your stroller, that's exactly the type of stroller I'm interested in . I agree completely with you, people are too judgmental. By the way your girls are beautiful. |

| I love my doggie stroller! It is great for busy places like fairs and festivals where heavy foot traffic means a lil dog could easily get stepped on in a crowd. I also used it after ZoEs spay, so she could be by me, and in could wheel her from room to room, yet keep her confined. I also take it outside in my yard and park it under a tree in summer, and it gives her a comfy haven to rest in. I like my stroller so much, I bought a second one just like it. I keep one in my car, and one at home.

| I love my stroller and so do my furbutts. I use mine mostly on vacation when we sit outside at restaurants. I roll the stroller right beside me and they enjoy watching the people and being with us. Of course people are drawn to a stroller with cute Yorkies inside and it's a conversation starter too.

| She seems to really like it. She definitely knows it's hers! Many people here seem to prefer the strollers with solid bars in the front that hold a pup in. ZoE doesn't like them. She is used to jumping in and out of hers as she pleases (I will tether her in if we are somewhere where I want her to stay in it), so she prefers the kind that fold down full in the front so she can get in and out when she wants. I'll even use the stroller in the house. If I put it in the kitchen she'll come in the kitchen and jump up in it and lay down while I'm cleaning up. Same if I am working at my desk. If I wheel it over next to my desk, she'll chose to nap there as opposed to the sofa. I'm very glad I purchased a stroller. As I said before, I have two. I chose to buy two identical so ZoE would be used to it, and also I was thinking should one or both break later on, the parts are interchangeable.

| I don't have a stroller but I do have a pink Wooflink carrier that I put a pink blanket inside and my Chloe always has a pink outfit on AND a pink bow in it. Some people look at me like I'm crazy.. but who cares! I'm sure there will be people who will point fingers but there's always going to be those type of people. If people carry their baby in a stroller.. you can carry your doggies. If you really want a stroller, just get one.. don't worry about people!

| Oh, I bet Chloe looks so cute in her pink outfits! Thank you so much for your reply, I'm glad I asked, I'm feeling more and more confident on getting one. Like you said, people will probably stare but who cares right?. |
