Who Has A Stroller And When Do You Use It??

[pea496]

I have a blue one. We use it to go to Home Depot, the Mall and we used it to go to Maine. My husband made fun of me for getting it, but he finally had to admit that it was invaluable when we went to Maine.

Conner is quiet in it when he is tired, but if he is not he does not want to stop. If you stop the stroller, he scratches. I also use a blanket to cover the front.

We have a stroller for bella we use it if we go somewhere really crowded and I don't want her getting trampled.

I have two, a Petpy Love and a Pet Gear. I like the Petpy Love the best, it is not so heavy and cumbersome. I got the stroller initially so Gracie could go outside for walks with Holly and I after Gracie had her bilateral knee surgery. It worked great. And when she could start walking again, it was only a bit at a time so we would walk one lap, then put her in the stroller for the rest of the walk. I plan to use it when I take them to crowded places like farmer's markets etc. where I don't want to risk them getting stepped on. I will also probably take it with us to the beach, one to bring them into restrooms with me and two, if they get tired while walking on the beach they can ride back. I have this habit of losing myself at the beach and walking way too far, then wondering how I will get back! It is one of those items that you probably won't use every day, or even every week, but it is an essential for certain occasions. I find it especially helpful when hauling two Yorkies around at the same time.

I have a stroller that I got on Ebay as well. I think I paid $50 which included shipping.

My hubby thought I was crazy for wanting to get one, but I've used it at the Michigan Yorkie Fair, shopping at our pet-friendly outdoor mall and it was absolutely the best thing we had with us when we took them to Myrtle Beach on vacation last year. I use it all the time when we go to the vet as well. I like that their feet don't need to touch the ground and I don't have to worry about what one is doing while the other is on the exam table.

In Florida where I live it is almost as common to see a dog in a stroller as a baby. I use one at least twice a week. I have had a booth in a flea market for about 10 years. Dogs could go there, but, they had to be carried. So everyone that went there on a weekly basis went out and bought dog strollers. Since, I was selling dog hats and sunglasses in my booth, I started to sell them there as well. Since I have so many dogs it is necessary to keep them altogether when we go out. We have two strollers and I attach a dog backpack to each stroller. That way we can all go out together and no one gets hurt or lost. And we really don't care if people make fun of us!!! Kathy

Just got Parker one, and I haven't used it yet. I bought it to use in KC and some of the festivals here, because they are so crowded. I also plan to use it when we go to our local Petsmart, I am not crazy about letting him walk in there.

I have a blue Pet Gear one and I paid nothing for it My mom got it for me because she knew my husband thought they were to silly and would never let me get one myself( Mom has 2 girl Yorkies and said they are handy to have) I have not used mine yet because I got Jeter in the last weekend of November too cold to take him out in it. Thankfully the weather just started to get nice and I plan on taking Jeter to events that Downtown Sandusky has all summer long, it get crowded and I will feel safe having him a bit more protected from all those feet, he's so tiny we don't need him to get stepped on!

I haven't bought one yet, but I'm planning on getting one soon. Since having two yorkies, I can see how a stroller would make life easier if we go places that are crowded or when we go camping. The stroller is also a great place for them to sleep if we are somewhere spending the day outdoors. I like the ones that double as a car seat.

[katelin]

Oh, that sounds handy. Which ones double as a car seat??

The first one I bought doubled as a car seat/carrier. I totally did not like it as the compartment is not very high and there is very little mesh for them to look out of and it sits very low to the ground. You also need to take it completely apart to fold up and put in the trunk. I sold it and got the other kind that looks like a baby stroller all zippped up.

I have 2 strollers, a PetGear and AT3 All Terrain Pet Stroller. I mostly use the AT3 because it is really big and I can fit my 2 fluffs in there with room to spare. There are a lot of malls near me that allow pets and I mostly use it to take them to the mall. I also used it when we stayed at the beach last year and it was a lifesaver. We walked the strip and there was a lot of people around and it kept them safe and comfy.
