Pamper Your Furry Friend with a Pet Stroller

Pet strollers are the hottest new trend for those furry members of your family. What's a pet stroller? It's pretty much what you'd expect – it looks very much like a baby stroller, and it helps you transport your dog or cat for longer distances that it can handle on its own. It's particularly suited to an injured or infirm pooch or tabby that can't walk at all.

With a pet stroller, you can travel along with your pet in comfort and safety. You can go to the park or stroll in the mall with your pet so he can mingle with others without any burden to you.

Here are some possible uses for a pet stroller that might convince you to make the investment:

• It's a practical conveyance to transport your sick or handicapped pet to the vet. It's even good for just a regular checkup. The stroller keeps your pet off the floor and away from many germs that can be contracted in the vet's waiting room.

• You can go for a jog in the park without tiring your pet.

• Take your furry friend to pet shows, picnics, festivals and other outdoor events more conveniently.

• Provide some fresh air to a sick pet. You'll speed their recovery, and they will enjoy being outside.

The two basics types of pet stroller are a detachable carrier and a collapsible model. Detachable products are pet strollers that don’t completely collapse. They provide your pet with a secure environment while you move them from one location to another, and there's no need to ever take them out of the compartment. The fully-collapsible pet stroller is similar, but the whole stroller folds with the push of a button. This kind of stroller is perfect for people who travel a lot.

When it comes to dog pet strollers, make sure it's the right size. Don't rely on the information that comes with the product. Even though the literature for each model specifies the size of pet it is meant to accommodate, it doesn’t mean that it will be comfortable for your pet. Make sure your dog can sit up and turn around.

Look for extra features in a pet stroller that will help you go the distance on a day long outing with your pet. Extra compartments are convenient for storing treats and plastic bags. You can even get strollers that will hold your cell phone or water bottle while you and your pet enjoy the fresh air.

If you plan on jogging with your pet, then you need a stroller specifically designed for this activity. This type of stroller provides maximum stability on the jogging trails.
