How often and where do you use your dog stroller? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yorkiepaws · 09-11-2009, 08:22 PM

I got mine at Just Pet Strollers - Free shipping on pet strollers from Pet Gear, Kittywalk, Happy Trails, Petzip, Burley and more

I use it all the time. We walk around the lake, but by the time we get 1/2 way around Laya lays down and then I have to carry her. She walks until she gets tired and then she gets in. It's great. We also use it if we go to public events where there are lots of people and other dogs. Keeps her safe and keeps her from getting stepped on. I think it really comes in handy.

I was given one and when I go for walks I use it. I have a little paralyzed yorkie girl that just has to be involved with everything , She just would not have it any other way. I also have another little yorkie girl that enjoys walking but tires quickly so I just put her in when she has had enough. When I am able I would like to buy one that looks more like a human baby stroller so it will be less noticable in places were dogs are not allowed. Jeep brand has one that has no distinguishable marking like paw prints and such and jeep also makes baby strollers. Just a thought to think about if you plan on using in stores.

I always thought the same as you until 6 weeks ago. Molly was happily running around while we were out walking, and ended up with a partially torn cuciate ligament!

We were walking across the same fields we had walked on for the last 2 years, and it happened out of the blue. Poor little girl. She is only allowed to walk for 10-15 minutes a day for 3 months, so a buggy means she can still go out and about with me. She weighs in at 16lbs so i can't carry her for too long, although i do if we are just going for a short trip. Ive also bought a doggy backpack too so i can take her for long walks on the beach next week when we are on holiday. i now give buggys a

rather than a

Never say never

Well yeah, I think those situations are totally understandable! I'm not against people using them, I just won't unless something similar to your situation arises. Poor Molly, I hope she feels better soon!

I don't have a pet stroller, but I have a baby stroller that I uses, and never will I use that again, because CoCoa B. jumped right out of it and headed for the streets, but my dh, was able too catch him though, so next year, yep I will invest in a pet stroller,they appear too be more safer, I will see then.

BellaRose08 · 09-12-2009, 10:06 AM

We haven't had ours that long, but Bella loves it! We purchased it so we would have when the pavement is to hot, we go the the Farmer's market where there are a ton of people, or just to have if were are walking and she get's to tired...We just recently had her spayed and were able to take her for a walk, she loves her's...We purchased ours at a Doggie Boutique.

I have that blue one too, but since getting a third Yorkie, I had to buy a larger one. When we go to the mall, we can shop in all the stores without being ask to leave. We stop in the food courts to eat without a problem. When Zada had surgery, the stroller fit the bill for her. When the asphalt is just way too hot for their feet, the stroller comes out of the suv. They sure are a blessing to have when needed.

use mine a lot, to go shopping,and stuff like that is just perfect for us

bailie · 09-12-2009, 11:13 PM

omg! yes i wud love that being able to go into shops and eating places.. with the furbutts.. i once had beau in my handbag she fits it perfect and loved watchin all around her but i was a bit scared off being thrown out .. cud the security put u out?

Cloudnine · 09-13-2009, 06:10 AM

We use ours because of their hair (don't want it dragging in the dirt) and their short legs (tire easily). Well we think they tire easy anyway. Much more convenient to peruse art galleries, etc.. never had a problem going in very many places with them. I think most tend to look away. My fiance finagled our 2.5lb grown boy into the cheesecake factory! Some might not agree, but the waitress thought he was precious. He stayed in the stroller the whole time and didn't bother anyone
