Pet Strollers

Pet Stollers .... what is a Pet Stroller ? ...... and do Pets really need a Stoller?? .....

Strollers have gone to the dogs. Is this really necessary? Shouldn't dogs be walking next to us on a leash? Yes and no. While there will always be people who wouldn't be caught dead pushing their dog in a stroller, there are some compelling reasons and particular situations in which a stroller is a great idea.

There are:

• Injuries. Pets get injuries that make a stroller a perfect way of taking your pet out or to the vet without compromising their recovery.

• Big events. Taking small dogs to big events: parades, festivals, etc. can be overwhelming. Strollers give dogs and people their own personal space. Keeping pets and people safe and happy.

• Exercise. If you are a runner and you have a small dog a jogging stroller can allow you to include your pet on longer runs. Or if you own one big dog and one small dog, a pet stroller allows you to include both of your pets on your walk or run.

• Shopping. There are various reasons for including a pet stroller on a shopping excursion. With a stroller there are usually places to put extras like wallets, purses or even small purchases on the stroller. Also your pet is contained and more likely to be tolerated in a store or at a farmers market if the merchants know the pet is contained and not going to make a mess on their floor.

• Control. If your pet is in a stroller they will not be approaching people who may not like pets and conversely people will not be as likely to pet or handle your dog without your permission.

• Fun. If you are a dog lover taking your pet out in a pet stroller is just plain fun! So to the naysayers who find the pet stroller ridiculous-get a real problem!
