| I think like everything else it all depends on how they are used. If they are the sole means of transportation for the dog, they are being misused. But if they are used at crowded festivals or when going shopping, or for an elderly or injured dog they can be wonderful.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have one and I use it to take all of them out when I don't have someone else to help walk them. I put 3 in the stroller and one walks. Then I switch them out so they can all get a chance to walk and ride. I am sure people think I am nuts but who cares.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I just got one to use for crowded places. We went out to an event today and the stroller was perfect! Brielle got to watch everything and was very safe

| I actually got one at Petsmart on clearance for $25! I will use it when I take her to a place that gets crowded but will let her walk too! |

| Shoot, I'd use one for a long, long walk rather than poop out the baby. Everybody uses them around here - some sadly in place of walking them at all. But for a long long walk or going to the mall, I'd get one if I wanted.

| I have a small one that I found at Petsmart last year. I have only used it a couple of times, but it comes in handy at times.

| I bought a jogging one, though I have not been able to get it to act right yet. My idea was to take them with me on runs so we can do more things together. I see people in races with them all of the time. Quite often they beat me running alone. LOL

| isnt it human babies who ride in strollers???!!! unless the dog is very old,ill or lame-they have four legs for a good reason, they naturally enjoy their walk exercise-and it is good for their health. i agree that used in absolute moderation s the way to go with strollers for dogs.--no wonder there are so many fat unhealthy dogs about these days! |

| I see now what a dog stroller can be useful. In crowds mainly. Because a yorkie is so little they can easily get stepped on . In crowds such as the carnival , or parade. We have to always keep these precious little yorkie's safe. Of course a stroller was intended for human babies> But if you really think about it closely you can see why a dog stroller would be benificial .

| Thanks! I will check my petsmart and see if they have any left. I hardly ever use mine and it is so big and bulky- I had been eyeing that one but couldn't justify the expense when I hardly use it- but 25 dollars is a steal!
