Five reasons why strollers are a better option than dog carriers

Going on a trip without your dog seems unimaginable to you? Well, you are not alone, many pet owners cannot imagine going on a vacation that does not include their pet. However, traveling with one’s dog possesses several problems concerned with the safety of your pet. Although dog carriers facilitate a secure way of carrying one’s dog in cars, trains and even on flights, these were not devoid of cons like being suffocating, and being very heavy to carry.

In recent years, the use of strollers has risen as an ideal solution to the hassles of travelling with your dog. Here are five reasons why strollers are better to opt for when compared to traditional carriers and even collapsible dog crates.

1.       Easy to stroll with your dog

Dog strollers allow to transport one’s dog without the need of carrying its weight. The wheels make it convenient if you want to take a stroll with your dog even on busy roads. The stress you used to bear on your shoulders and arms while carrying dog carriers gets relieved to a great extent with the use of dog strollers.

2.       Enough Fresh air

Unlike traditional dog carriers, dog strollers are unhooded which allows your dog to breathe in fresh air and also look around clearly as it rests. In fact, the strollers become a great seat for your dog when you take it for dog shows, festive carnivals or family picnics.

3.       Airline friendly

The dog stroller is designed in accordance with the requirements for airline approval. The wheels can be easily retracted and a mesh covering can be zipped over the stroller to convert it into an airline approved pet carrier.

4.       Enhanced storage

A major problem one faces while using a collapsible dog crate is the lack of enough storage space to carry the pet essentials. Dog strollers solve this problem by providing ample space for storing and carrying dog supplies. A spacious tray at the bottom of the seat and above the wheels is designed to carry enough toys and treats for your dog.

5.       Perfect for ailing and old dogs

A dog stroller is perfect for carrying your ailing dog to the veterinary clinic. It can be easily disinfected and medications can be stored within it. It can also be used for carrying ageing dogs who get tired of walking.

So, if you are planning for a tour along with your dog, a dog stroller should be the first thing to arrange to make the journey convenient and comfortable for your dog.
