How many of you use a pet stroller? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ladybugg74 · 07-18-2007, 04:55 PM

Just thinking about getting one. I found a jogging pet stroller on ebay that I really like. I like the bigger wheels on them.Looks like it is of good quality. Just wondering how much use you get out of yours. All the ones I have seen have the one leash inside to hook the harness to. I would have to figure out how to get another one sewn in so both Gracie and Hallee could be put in together and not be afraid of them jumping out.

I don't have one, and I never understood them until I got Jake. I always thought it was better for the dog to walk and get exercise. But, I'm finding that I would find one very useful and am going to get one. I think they would be great if you took your dog to a cookout or something.....whether in a park or at someone's house. The stroller would give the dog a place to lay down in the shade when he/she was tired. It's great to let them ride in once they get tired, and you don't have to carry them. Although, I love carrying Jake. I think they are very useful!

We have a stroller for Miko and Emma. They go on their regular walks, so they get their exercise, but if we go somewhere that they are not allowed to be on the ground on a leash like the mall, then we put them in the stroller. It would be too hard for me to try to carry an 11lb yorkie and a 4lb maltese in a carrier on my shoulders. Also, as mentioned before, it's a good place for them to lay down if they get tired at a park or at a friend's house...

I would love to get one. Otis loves to take walks but because of irresponsible dog owners in my 'hood', they have to settle for running in the back yard. Too many off leash dogs running around. I love to walk so at least I could get exercise and they could get out of the house!!!

I have a stroller for Lacy. I have the Happy Trails pink stroller by Pet Gear. I wasn't sure why I was buying one at first but it has really been nice to have. I have used it shopping all day, walking around downtown Austin, including the capitol building, at a state park where I went digging for diamonds, all the time at the mall, at work to keep her contained while we were moving to our new location, and will be using it at the dog show I'm goign to watch on Friday!

I have a stroller for Conner. We use it for flea markets and outdoor restaurants. We also use it at the mall.

Honestly, I don't use mine at all, and I spent over 200 on a Jeep Rubicon jogging stroller. I thought I would get tons of use out of it, but the truth is.. I have multiple puppies to walk and there's no way I can use the stoller for only one or two and walk the other two, it's just too chaotic. Plus, they always prefer to walk, and will cry if the other ones are walking next to the stroller and they are inside of it.

I hope that if I can't sell it, I will get some use out of it at some sort of doggie event or something. We shall see I guess!

I'm so glad Diggy didn't get hurt! He's such a curious one, that boy.

Yorkieluv · 07-18-2007, 06:47 PM

Ouch! I bet Diggy won't try to jump out again..Glad he's okay! The way I got my babies to stay in is by showing them that it was a safe place to be. I put treats inside so that they know it's okay to go in there and they love it now

mizzwanned · 07-18-2007, 07:24 PM
