Think of your stroller as a crate on wheels. Dog crates are a handy way to keep your best friend safe when traveling, visiting the vet or even on the way to the public park or doggie park where your dog can safely romp. Crate containment removes concerns about your dog leaping in front of a car or dragging you down the street in pursuit of another dog or some other animal.
Fresh Air for Invalids
Large dogs can become ill or old, just as easily as small dogs. Moving a ten-pound oldster from one location to another can be tiring, moving a dog that weighs in at sixty pounds is a challenge. For the really big dogs, such as a St. Bernard or Great Dane hefting them from one place to another requires some serious muscle. By putting some wheels under a cart that has sturdy mesh sides, you can take a dog who is recovering from an illness or surgery, or an older dog who suffers from arthritis, for a walk. The sunshine and fresh air are healthful, and a change of scenery is invigorating and might lead to a speedier recovery.
Smooth Veterinary Visits
Your vet’s office is full of unfamiliar smells as well as other animals. Even well-trained dogs can become excited when brought in on a leash. A stroller acts as a restraint, in much the same way that a travel crate restrains a cat.
Keep Puppies Safe
A litter of puppies is a bundle of impulsive energy, ready to take on the biggest dogs or rough up the nearest cat. A large dog stroller can accommodate several wiggly young canines and keep them from greeting other dogs nose-to-nose, which can introduce the youngsters to disease or put them in danger of being bitten by aggressive dogs. A sturdy mesh can also keep them from tumbling out of their carrier, or dashing in front of vehicles.
