Buyer's Guide: How to Choose the Best Stroller for Your Furbaby?
We understand that you want nothing but the best for your little four-legged friend and that's why we've decided to help you out. Although you can't make a mistake if you decide to buy one of the products from our list, it is true that some dog breeds feel better in certain types of strollers. Therefore, your dog's breed, as well as its size and weight must be taken into account when shopping for a stroller.
Choosing The Right Size
The first thing you got to check is the weight limit of the stroller. Usually, what says in the specs is slightly lower than the actual weight the stroller can handle. But, if you push it to the limit, the chances are that it won't serve you well for too long.
Apart from the maximum weight, you also need to check the actual dimensions of the dog compartment, including not only its length and width, but its height as well. The bigger, the better is the rule here. Your dog is going to feel best if there's plenty of room for it to sit, instead of laying down all the time.
Still, this doesn't mean that you should get the biggest one even if your dog is tiny. Smaller strollers are not as heavy as large ones, therefore, they're usually much easier to handle.
Another reason why you ought to pick a perfectly-sized stroller for your dog is that, you won't have to waste more storage space than necessary.
Making Sure The Stroller Is Comfy
If your dog has just had a surgery, you can speed up its recovery by taking it to the fresh air. The only way to do it is by using a dog stroller. The problem here is that not all strollers are cozy enough for a dog that's recovering from an illness.
This is why you ought to pay attention to good cushioning the mat provides instead the stroller. Apart from being nice and soft, it also needs to be thick enough so that dog wouldn't feel cold. In the best-case scenario, the mat should be made of tear-proof material. So, even if your pup is a nervous little devil who likes tearing things apart, he won't be able to destroy the interior of the stroller.
Another thing to pay attention to is how breathable the stroller is. It needs to have a large mesh window which would let the fresh air in, but without letting any insects get through.
You also need to pay attention to the hood, which shouldn't be transparent, at least not all the way round. Otherwise, it wouldn't provide a good protection from sun. Of course, strollers are meant to be used all-year-round, so the hood needs to be made out of material that won't let rain through.
Easy To Handle
It's essential for the stroller to be easy to handle, especially if you plan to use it for a heftier dog. A thing that makes it easy to maneuver is the rotating wheel (or wheels) upfront. Speaking of wheels, you also need to take a look at what they're made of, as it's something that can tell you a lot about its terrain capabilities.
The thing about air tires is that they make it easier for you to push the stroller around, while ensuring the dog won't get catapulted in the air every time you hit a bump or a hole on the road. However, if you're planning to take the stroller off road, there is a risk that these types of wheels might burst. In that case, a much better solution is to choose a stroller with plastic or rubber wheels.
And there's also the issue regarding the height of the stroller. If you got to bend your back to push it around, the stroller is no good. The ideal dog stroller needs to come with a handle that perfectly matches your height. Unfortunately, it is challenging to find one that 100% matches your height, which is why we advise focusing on those that come with adjustable handles. This way, you, as well as each member of your family, will be able to adjust it according to your own height.
Best Brands To Look For
As there isn't a single specification that can tell you whether a dog stroller is going to work fine for a long time, the best thing you can do is read people's reviews and recommendations. Unfortunately, they can sometimes be biased or just written by the sellers themselves.
But, there is a solution – just focus your dog stroller quest on those products manufactured by reputable brands. As these brands have no intention of ruining their reputation, they will not make a stroller that's not durable.
If you have no idea about anything related to the manufacturers of pet equipment, let us tell you which brands are considered the best. Here are some of them:
You can't make a bad decision if you decide on buying a dog stroller manufactured by one of these companies. Still, if you want the very best for your furry friend, our advice is to go with a stroller discussed on the top of this article.
What About The Price?
Of course, one of the most important criteria for choosing a dog stroller is its price. If your dog is going need it for just a few days (if it's recovering from a surgery, for example), then it would be insane to spend your entire salary on a stroller.
That's precisely the reason why you can find all sorts of strollers among our 12 reviews, including those whose price is way below the one hundred-dollar mark.
Conclusion
Let Your Pooch Enjoy The Fresh Air!
It's true that dogs are happiest when they get to run around, but sometimes they just can't do it. Whether your dog is too young, too old, or recovering from an illness, a stroller would enable you to take them outside on fresh air.
The problem here is that if a stroller is not comfy enough, your dog will not be happy and neither will you. Therefore, our advice is not to risk anything. Choose one of the top-rated stroller from our list.
