| i think it's a personal decision, like dog clothing. there's no do or don't just a personal preference. personally, i prefer to walk my dog. |

| I walk my girls lots... But I also have the stroller.... Its great for events where there are LOTS of people, your little ones could get trampled... or long walks, where they could get tuckered out.... And its awesome for softball games where there are tons of young kids who don't understand that your dogs don't want to be poked at for two hours straight! I hate leaving them at home... so the stroller is like a safe haven for them! They love it! And the mall will let the girls in if they are in the stroller... I called ahead and asked! They said YES! I say its a DO! And a very Fun do at that!

| I agree with Kathryn! I walk my dogs alot, but I also have a stroller. I use my stroller when we are around lots of people, I feel it keeps them safer. Its also great for walks because my tiny little girl can't always keep up with my bigger boy, so she can ride & rest. If you do decide to get a stroller I would recommend Happy Trails (pet stroller). It comes in pink and blue. I have the pink one.

| I never even thought of taking it to the vet!!!! it would have rocked last week! My vet was running over an hour late! Try sitting over an hour with two in your lap! I hate putting them on the floor at the vets... And I could not set Paris down, she is not finished with her shots yet.... It was a LONG! Vet visit!!! How stupid of me not to think of bringing my stroller! Duh!!! And yes! the Happy Trails brand is Awesome! I love the cup holder!!! And the key tray! The basket underneath is huge! I can put my BIG purse in it along with an extra blanket for the girls, water and extra food and toys... and there is still room for a thing or two if I am shopping! I got the pink one too. It comes with the wind and rain cover! But I almost did blue... It would have matched my car...

| I love my stroller! I do have many little ones so it is easier to the groomers, the vet.... the park.... the mall.... I love it. But I hardly see anybody else use it and I do get weird stares! But I don't care... LOL |

| i always wanted one.. but my bf thinks it's ridiculous, he says strollers are for babies (cause we're having one soon) so he says he'd rather spend it on the stroller for our baby then for the dogs, because he thinks we should walk to dogs.. since i need the exercise anyhow. but i really want one! |

| YES! I bring Otis to the mall in mine, and I put a baby blanket over the canopy so no one can see in. He can still see out through the sides though. We would probably be kicked out of a lot of places if it weren't for the stroller. I noticed a lot of mothers with human babies looking at my stroller trying to place the model or the brand. I just keep on awalkin. |

| I kind of felt that way also that I would be that weird dog lady lol. I got my furboy a birthday gift and so did my hubby. He asked what could he get Cookie and I said a Stroller? He ordered it from ebay for $69 plus shipping. You can get themat justpetstrollers.com Let me tell you you WILL NOT regret it! I take them out for long walks in the stroller because Cookie can't walk for more than 2 blocks. He's really small and gets tired just playing in the house lol. You know what? Next time that I go to the Vet I am taking Lola in the stroller because I do not like putting her on the floor at the vet's office either Everyone that sees our furbabies in the stroller only had sweet comments and loved the idea lol Genie |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I have a carriage type stroller--I can take all 4 out in. But, I also have a stroller from Petedge.com that I take the 2 little guys out in; we go to the mall; we go to the vet; they don't walk more than 2 long blocks and this way we can go for hours. |

| i just saw strollers @ our local petsmart for $99. they are the happy trails in blue and pink. you make a good point about protecting them from germs at the vet. and protecting them from people like at a soccer game. next time i go to petsmart i'm tossing one in the cart! |
