Why you should use a dog stroller – three great reasons
Once upon a time, dog owners took their dogs for a walk. I still see this here and there, but believe it or not I see a lot more people pushing their dogs. Like pushing a cart with a dog in it. The first few times I saw this I thought it was a novelty, kind of like watching kids on leashes (don’t get me started on that). But now? I see it everywhere. The use of dog strollers is incredibly high. I don’t have statistics on this, not sure if there has been any research on the subject, but I can tell you that I see at least a few in use every day. I asked myself “Why?” every time I saw one of them, but after thinking for a while, I found some benefit in buying and using a good dog stroller.
First, after doing some research on the product, I learned that dog strollers are incredibly well made and extremely durable. Pet strollers are usually made to the same quality as baby strollers. For those active dog owners who, for example, like to go hiking or camping, this discovery is very important. How many times have you been on a nice relaxing hike that had to be cut short because the terrain got a little tough for your little pup? With a dog stroller, when you reach that critical point, you can just put your pet in the stroller and keep going, as the strollers are more than equipped to handle rough terrain. The strollers are also designed to handle the wear and tear that your dog will undoubtedly throw up after constant use. This is partly due to how spacious the strollers are designed. Your dog or other pet will have plenty of room to be comfortable, which in turn will lead to less scratching and clawing as a result of feeling too confined.
After doing some market research, I was surprised to learn how many pet owners treat their pets like parents treat their children. There is a huge culture of pet owners who only want the best for their animals, especially those pet owners who don’t have children. When petting your pet, a logical first choice would be a pet stroller, as this is equivalent to treating you like a pet. Best of all? When comparing dog stroller prices to baby strollers, dog strollers are much cheaper on average.
Another interesting quality I’ve found about pet strollers is the wide variety. Whether you have a small or large dog, there is a stroller for you. What is this? Do you have two dogs? No problem, there are dog strollers with many strollers, it’s like having two children. Most strollers also give you the option to keep them open or closed. If you want to keep your pet in the shade or make sure they can’t jump out of the stroller, just keep the stroller closed. If you want to get some fresh air or you have a friendly dog and want to give other people access to come and pet your little cutie, just unzip it. It really is that simple.
For me, it was another “don’t judge a book by its cover” experience as well as a valuable lesson. After my first dog stroller entry, I was quick to judge and even quicker to make some sarcastic comments to whoever I happened to be with at the time. However, after putting some time and effort into understanding the intrinsic value of using a dog stroller, I’m totally on board with the idea. In fact, I even bought one for my own dog.
