Strollers Help Dogs Large and Small Get Out

February 8th, 2010 · 5 Comments

When Jerry wrote about Xena and Her Big Dog Stroller in June of 2009, he was sharing feedback about the The Solvit HoundAbout Pet Stroller for Big Dogs from Xena and her pack.

That post has received numerous comments including this recent reply from Xena’s mom …

Xena is doing really well and I truly can’t say enough about this product. You would think I’m a salesperson for them but I’m not. This “buggy” has made such a difference in our lives. It lets Xena still get out and enjoy life and it allows us to wander a little farther from our home than just a block. Having gone through so many health issues with Xena, if anyone is in the same situation I will be happy to give you any info I have or just simply some support. Thank you all again for your well wishes.

More recently, we met Tri-Pug Maggie and admired her luxurious coach. And how could we forget Shelby’s red wagon?

So we thought we’d share this selection of dog strollers available for helping tripawds large and small get out and enjoy life …

    Well, isn’t this ironic! I’ve been shopping for a bike trailer for Maggie! Thanks for the additional links to look at!

    One comment on the small dog strollers- I got the one for Maggie specifically so she could get out, and in (with a little help) by herself. I didn’t want to have to lift her in and out.
    Something to consider if any of the smaller tripawds are considering a ‘ride’.

    Thanks for the feedback Karen! We were actually looking for a coach like Maggie’s, but couldn’t find one. What brand is it? Members might like to know where you got it too.

    Here is a link to the stroller I bought for Maggie (don’t tell her it says kitty walk in title!).

    This may have been the site where I bought it- I don’t remember.

    http://justpetstrollers.com/kittywalk_pet_stroller_suv.html

    What I really like about it is that both the front and back ‘doors’ open like ramps. Maggie can get out by herself, and in with just a little help. And it is rated for 50 lbs so I can put both pugs in it if needed.

    Thanks for the link, never thought of searching for “Kitty” strollers. :-)

    We updated the original post with your recommendation – found it on Buy.com with free shipping! Check out the Double Decker option. Now Maggie and Tani can both travel in style.
