We've got an 8 year old Shih Tzu that is going blind (genetic issue, unusual for the breed). We got a backpack for him (plenty on Amazon), so when we go into busy places that he doesn't know he goes into it rather than getting confused and distressed. He can curl up in it and sleep, or stick his head out onto my shoulder. We give him the option of getting in if he's looking worried or tired - put the bag next to him and he'll try to climb in or not. On long walks it gives him a rest too.
Similarly when we're off in the camper and take the bicycles out, he goes on my back. He can lean on my back and look over my shoulder (for what little he can see), and loves to ride there.

We call his bag my babe magnet, because I tend to get lots of attention from ladies of all ages when I carry him in it!

This was our Midge who had a poorly hip so occasionally would need to be carried so he didn't miss out when we took the other dogs out ... he loved it!

 

[Spriddler]

Used to date a girl back in the day, who was a kennel maid at a breeders, ........... and many fond memories of gob, slobber, black hairs and daft moments

I think I might have known her.

We have a doggy hut. It can attach to a bike for towing or add the front wheel and handle to make it a stroller. Was handy when our nearly 14 year old hurt his leg a couple of weeks ago. Meant we could still get him to the beach. It has also doubled up as a water carrier and shopping cart at times. Has earnt its place in our motorhome garage!

We've got something similar to this (charity shop for a few quid) for our Lily who has a gammy leg so sometimes can't walk. As it's got the waist 'cushion' a lot of the weight is taken round the hips rather than just on the shoulder so is much more comfortable and less tiring to wear. If you have a large strong bum bag you could just use that but obviously you'd have to hold the dog on it all the time.

We use a carrier for our dog,pushing 15 now, walks as far as he can then enjoys the ride back . would not be without it lol.

Here is my Sheltie in her Pet Stroller. She developed bad athritis in her legs and was able to come out with the other dogs and have a potter round the fields when we got there.

Our little Jack Russell was 21 years old, he walked wee distances but when on our trips abroad he loved the bicycle, sadly we lost him 2 weeks ago he would of been 22 in July

When one of our large dogs was getting, he used to be able to walk to the nearby towpath, but when he reached a small beach he used to settle down and wait for us to return. After several phone calls I had to tie a label to his collar explaining he wasn’t lost, just resting.

We use a stroller for our 2 Chihuahuas mainly because as mentioned in a previous post that the pavements were too hot for their little paws we would carry them when possible and know they wouldn't walk on those processionary caterpillars too.....we also learned that we were allowed in more places with them in it ...they have shade whilst out if needed and its storage is handy for carrying the shopping home too

I live in Dawlish in Devon now. There are a lot of holiday parks around here and it gets busy in the season. You see quite a few of these pet strollers/buggies here as it is such a popular place for folks with dogs. When it is very hot they are a boon to stop their paws getting burnt although people mainly use them for their elderly dogs.

I'm told that in Eastbourne one often sees dogs wheeling their owners around .

You were posh then ... we had a tan-sad!

Had never heard them called that till First grandchild was on her way, john had to explain, it sounded like some medical appliance to me
Must be a Hull thing

Tan-Sad began life in 1922 in Birmingham and was first publicly listed as an exhibitor at the British Industries Fair, selling typists tables, constructional toys, motor cycle chairs, perambulators and office and factory chairs. Tan-Sad Continued to grow over the coming years and essentially split its Birmingham production between push chairs and toys, and a very successful range of factory and office seating.

In the 1950’s and 1960’s Tan-Sad became a generic name for pushchairs and traditional perambulators before it’s demise in 1975. Ask a certain older generation and they will still to this day refer to a pushchair as a ‘Tan-Sad’. The original meaning behind the name is believed to come from the French word Tansad, meaning the extra or pillion seat behind a horse or motorcycle. Sadly little more than this is known about Tan-Sad except for various vintage advertising and of course vintage products that have survived. Our interest lies mainly in the iconic machinists chairs that were mass produced from the 1930’s onwards, competing head on with Evertaut in England as well as a number of big European manufacturers.

Please help me understand. Currently in Spain. Have noticed several people pushing dogs in prams, carrying them in bags or in their arms. At home most dogs walk. Why is it different here? Am I missing something?

I live in Bridlington on the East Coast and lots of people use them here for our older dogs. It gets them out in the fresh air when they can’t walk far and keeps them in company rather than leaving them at home. Doggy pushchairs are available from Amazon and eBay!

 

[scotzsue]

We called them something else in Scotland, another manufacturer's name but blowed if i can remember what JockandRita any ideas?

 

[scrappdawg]

Our little one loved it!

 

[John and Bern]

My dog had this a week ago and it got rid of a new limp on her bad leg. Our French vet has offered this on a monthly basis if she needs it more regularly in the future. It doesn't have any adverse effects that previous treatments have, which is great news!

Our 12 year old lab, who has severe arthritis in one front leg, has been on Librella since it was released. She has monthly injections and it has given her a new lease of life. She starts to limp more a couple of days before her jab then the day after she’s full of life again. She’s just had her “March” jab from a vet in Marbella.

WE have also found them great when in busy town centres, it must be terrifying for a poor dog, down there amongst legs & feet and no one looks down do they !!

Our Benji has a serious heart condition, which means is walking is limited to around 3 miles maximum. As I like to cycle a lot on holiday we have got the BuddyRider bike seat for him. Perfect because he can walk a bit then be carried a bit. Also, it is attached to the seat stem so he is stable and directly in front of me and perfectly balanced. . He loves it

 

[Mrs Gogo]

Our old Labrador loved his chariot... It was a godsend when we holidayed in Wales, enabling us to get around

 

[gus-lopez]

Just wish I could find one big enough for our newfoundland, we do everything else for her, might as well push her majesty around to.

When we lived in Devon our village butcher used to take his out in an open car trailer to somewhere safe to walk.

Sorry to hear that & may he R.I.P.

I would say it's the heat on the dogs paws ,little doggy pushchair saves your back and doggys paws.

Here's my 11 year old Shih Tzu. She loves her buggy and lets me know when she wants to walk or get in

TM59 , I hope you now understand why so many of us use them

For Jaws and anyone else- the company who make YouMove have responded to similar comments from Owners and now make a tablet called IMove for humans. Money back within I think 90 days if no noticeable difference. I’ve been taking it for one month and already my knees and ankles feel less creaky and less painful. Would def recommend.

 

[Burgo]

Is a Perambulator the big one?

In a Perambulator the infant lies prone, usually face up so it is comforted by it's adoring mother's gaze.
In a buggy, or stroller, the urchin is propelled seated up right at face level to car exhaust fumes, with gaze averted from it's texting carer.
