Dog strollers have become very popular in the last few years. Many choose to bring their animal out in a public setting where having the animal on a leash is inappropriate, and using such a device can be a wonderful way to keep your pet around for the important times in life too. Below are listed some of the basic dog stroller pros and cons you will want to consider before making a purchase.
The largest advantage to owning a dog stroller is your ability to get your pet out of the house. Many people own pets that are incapable of walking long distances, or are in such poor health that they simply cannot bear making it around the block.
Having a dog stroller is a great way to give your pet fresh air while still allowing you the freedom of walking. These devices are also wonderful in those cases of pet injury, as one can transport their dog in the dog stroller without worrying about aggravating the animal’s condition. If you have an animal that cannot or will not walk outside, a dog stroller may be a good fit.

Dog strollers have few disadvantages though, and probably the largest is cost. If you want a decent model, you will have to pay at least sixty dollars. For most, this is equal to two months of pet food or a variety of other animal care expenses.
It is also important to note that an animal can become dependent on their stroller, and their later life health can be poor if they refuse to exercise on their own. It is always smart to be careful with such a purchase, and to make sure that your dog is active outside of the stroller as much as is possible.
Deciding whether a dog stroller is right for you is going to come down to personal choice and individual circumstances. It can be wonderful for animals with poor mobility, but it can cause a puppy health problems later in life. Always remember to allow your dog to exercise to the best of its ability, and make sure that any pet purchase you make suits the dog’s natural levels of activity.
