i have seen a lot of dog owners (once a cat owner) with their precious little furry one in strollers here.
i used to think "why do they have a stroller? defeats the purpose of taking the dog for a walk?!"
but i guess im slowing seeing the point.. maybe.

yesterday i was downtown on my way to the dog bakery, on a weekend, japan is especially crowded everywhere, it gets difficult to maneuver through the crowd sometimes.
so people who want to take their lil fuzzies out with them, put them in a stroller so it makes maneuvering through the crowd easier.

hmmmm, i still think its a lil weird to have a dog in a stroller, i mean do you really have to take your fuzzy out when your shopping? i guess. maybe. i dont know.

and i came across this pic which i tot was quite funny
Photobucket

do any1 of you guys own a dog stroller? or what are your thoughts on it?

    I don't own one, but for Jazz to go in one, she'd have to be completely encapsulated so that no other dog got in her face.

    I could only see myself using one if I had a handicapped dog so that they could come out with my other dogs.

    actually when i 1st saw a dog stroller here, i thought the dog was handicapped.
    but then i realized it wasnt when i walked by it, the lil chihuahua was jumping up & down in excitement

    if dogs were meant to be put in strollers they wouldn't have legs and would crawl on the ground like fuzzy snakes. dogs don't belong in strollers or prada pet carriers, dogs belong behind the wheel of a VW microbus.

    I could see the need if you had an older dog that isn't so mobile.

    People use these a lot when they bring their dogs inside the store with them. IMHO can't see a point for a healthy dog.~

    my hubby and I were just talking about finding one to rent for Henson while he's on low-no-activity for his HW treatment... so he wouldn't have to stay home while we were at the park or going for a small hike... but we haven't been successful.

    I can't, for the life of me, figure out why someone w/ a healthy dog would put one in a stroller!!! That's just plain obnoxious.

    @Tsukitsune, if you haven't already, you might want to put some feelers out on craigslist for people who no longer need a stroller or have one to donate for a worthy cause, namely, HENSON! :0)

    I wanted to hook Ninja up with a red harness that said "therapy dog" so I could take her anywhere.

    Who likes pushing strollers anyway? I hate pushing strollers and wheelchairs around... Well when we went do Disney World, my friends and I switched off and on so we can get to the front of the lines :)
