On a hot day at the local park or after a long visit to the farmer’s market, puppies can get tuckered out much quicker than we humans. Not to mention, they are easily distracted by that poodle or the hot dog vendor across the street. Because of this, sometimes a simple collar and leash won’t suffice. Depending on how susceptible your dog is to the elements or how easily distracted they are, these long outings can actually be dangerous for your pet.
If your dog needs frequent breaks during outings or tends to get overly distracted, don’t cut your trips short. Instead, consider investing in one of these wonderful dog strollers, handpicked by a few of our favorite doggie experts. From luxurious and sleek to affordable yet chic, our top ten list has something for every dog—and human—on your list.
On the Brink of Pink
This hot pink stroller will get you from A to B to P-ink-tastic in no time flat! Sporty yet still completely girly and chic, this selection is a great buy, especially considering the quality. The sturdy wheels are perfect for all terrains, and come rain or shine, your pup stays safe in a breathable, visible cover that zips them in securely and snugly.
Two by Two
Got a full family of furry friends? No more leaving one behind. Say goodbye to taking turns with this double pet stroller that lets both of your favorite companions enjoy the ride. We love this stroller because it essentially acts as a portable kennel. From food and water bowls to toys, treats, and wee-wee pads, you can fit everything you need into this model.
Zippity-Do-Dah Day
This simplistic style is perfect for men who want to push along their sweet pup without drawing too much attention. With a detachable cover, rear-locking wheels, and a zipping protective net, these dog strollers are so versatile that they can go from the ballpark to Park Place without ever skipping a beat.
Ladylike Lugger
Rosy, posy, and all things ladylike and sweet, this elegant and traditional dog stroller will take you and your pup anywhere you want to go. Perch your black Pomeranian in the front and your pink shopping bag in the back—and come rain or shine, both will be protected by the mesh weather guard. How’s that for a double feature?
Economical Wonders
Economical and three products in one! You can’t beat this deal. These dog strollers offer features that beat out many brands with just one function. Changing into a carrier, stroller, and puppy car seat, this model offers plenty of bang for your buck. It will safely get you to the Boardwalk, help you push Fido around all the attractions, and even store them on the plane if your rental car breaks down.
Roadster in the Park
Like a mini car without the gas, this little roadster will make even Jeff Gordon’s pup green with envy—even though it’s pink! Sporty and durable, this model is great for any place you want to be—and any terrain you want to travel. The only question left to ask yourself is: Where do you want to go?
Big Man on Campus
If you have a dog who’s large and in charge, this stroller is the perfect size for him—and the perfect weight for you. Push your pup uphill with ease and downhill with control. And for your dog? He can enjoy the ride that’s usually reserved for tiny dogs. “Who’s giggling now, Perry the Chihuahua?”
When buying a dog stroller, remember that style is only part of the equation. Form and function should always be carefully examined. If you’re still unsure which dog stroller is best for you and your pet, ask a friend, vet, or pet store clerk for advice. They often have better insight into what’s durable, safe, or even what gets returned most often.
