Pets How to Find Pet Strollers for Dogs

tr> Some Considerations When Shopping For A Dog Stroller

Chances are that when you told your friends and coworkers that you were looking for a pet stroller for your dog or dogs it didn’t go over real well. There were probably some raised eyebrows and cracks about it being ridiculous, over protective, absurd, etc.

Not here though, a pet, especially a dog (personal opinion) is part of the family and if you want to put your dog in a stroller and take him with you – have at it, by all means. Maybe your snickering friends didn’t understand that dogs get old too. A stroller is a great way to spend quality time with older dogs, dogs who don’t see well, have a broken leg, etc.

Your dog doesn’t care what is wrong with it as long as it gets to spend as much time with you as canine-ly possible, and that’s what makes being a dog owner so great. On the other hand, if you just want to put your dog in a stroller for the heck of it, that’s okay too. Your dog won’t mind even a little bit.

The trick to finding the right dog stroller at the right price isn’t that much different that finding a stroller for a child, but there are differences. Here is a look at some factors to consider before buying a stroller for your pooch:

• Size – Like human kids, puppies tend to grow up, only much faster. Unless you’re planning on buying a small, medium and large stroller, make sure the one you do get will be big enough for Hercules when he is a full sized Irish setter. Disregard this advice if you have a Lhasa Apso.

• Durability – Hey, it’s not a secret that dogs can be tough on human things. Couches, floors, tables and even an occasional shoe. There is no reason to think their knack for destruction will cease while in a stroller, so sturdy is better. Disregard this advice if you have a Lhasa Apso.

• Cost – Good news here, pet strollers are much more reasonably priced than baby strollers, be sure to take advantage of the difference. Hmmm…..wonder if a child – HA!

Of course, factors like weight, maneuverability and portability are factors common to any stroller, so don’t let that get away from you while shopping for Jumbo.
