Stroller - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi,
I wanted to take my 1 kilo Yorkie to my walks (speed is app 5 kmph). That's why I ordered a front carrier. I have disc herniage problems both in my neck and back. Thats why carrying my Yorkie that way caused pain and it definitely was not good for my herniages. I am thinking about purchasing a pet stroller. I have 2 questions regarding this:
1. Would it be efficient to drive the stroller and walk at the same time?
2. If so what would be the best website and brand to buy?
Thank you for your suggestions

I know that you can find pet strollers on Ebay, Amazon and most major pet stores like PetSmart. I think it is efficient if you're looking to carry your dog instead of having them walk, cause it'll be like pushing a buggy/cart/baby stroller. There's some stroller types that are more like a pulley and goes behind you. I'd get one that can convert into a carrier for car travel or a temporary kennel.

I love my stroller. It was one of the best investments I made. I did get the one with air filled wheels because I live in the country and wanted it to go over all types of areas. I walk every day and my girls go for a ride. I was walking them but they just could not make it as far as I needed to go. So the stroller was perfect for us!

This is the one I purchased. http://www.baxterboo.com/p.cfm/guard...ler-sage-green. Baxterboo runs 40% off often. Which makes this a much better deal.

I am a runner and although Cali does like to,run with me she can't quite go the distance and rides the rest of thr way.

I agree the type of stroller that has inflatable tires are the best in the long run. I have the Pet Gear NV, but there are other types as well.

Good luck - I think you will find a stroller is good for both of you to enjoy!

This is the stroller that I use. The tires are inflatable, and pushing it along the sidewalk is as smooth as silk. I think it would be an excellent choice for someone with back problems--it could double as a stroller and a walker at the same time.

What's so cool about strollers is that you can use them in and around the house too. I use mine everyday. Correction: Hannah uses hers everyday.

I have a 3 wheeled,Jen7 stroller with inflated tires. I got it so I could walk,fast with my three pups, I'm to old to run. It works very well. It even has a wrist tether,incase you were to fall the stroller doesn't go anywhere.
