We get asked all the time from interested dog owners about what is involved in putting the Dogger together. My response is always the same, “you just pop the wheels on and away you go”. That’s the truth, but seeing is believing so this short video demonstrates what you see when you first open up your Dogger dog stroller and just how simple it is to get going.
I know most pet strollers come with multiple parts and perplexing instructions, but not the Dogger – it’s as easy as 1-2-3
I should add that we typically take air out of the tires for shipping purposes because the air pressure in planes can damage inflated tires, so you may need to put a few pumps of air into your tires when they arrive. You can use a simple bicycle pump to do that very easily.
How many times have you left your older dog behind? Perhaps you have a younger dog that is still full of energy and your senior dog can no longer keep up? Or maybe your older dog has too many mobility issues to even make it down the street.
I know this because I live it. I have a 5 year old French Bulldog who is extremely active and I have a 15 year old Pug who suffers from arthritis. I personally can’t look at Mackenzie’s face and leave with just Paige and equally so, I can’t look at Paige and say that we can’t go for a walk today.
The Dogger is the perfect way to help both your dogs. I can walk Paige while Mackenzie rides. He gets out for as much exercise as he can manage and enjoys the ride the rest of the way. It is such an amazing way to keep everyone active – including you
When the idea of a wheel chair for dogs was first mentioned to me I immediately saw the sense in it. In fact, most mobility devices designed to assist humans can be adapted in some way or form to dogs, i.e. dog strollers, wheelchairs, harnesses, carriers etc…The selling point for me in any of these products has always been its functionality. In other words, its purpose must be practical not some superficial reason.
Dog strollers help older dogs with trouble walking
To me, carrying a healthy dog in a front baby carrier is not only confusing but also serves to undermine to intention of the product and subsequently prevents potential buyers from considering it as a useful tool for dogs with mobility issues. It’s easy to understand why a pet owner might consider these products for their aging dogs and nothing drives the point home more than actually seeing one being used properly.
Just yesterday I saw an older dog using a wheel chair and while it saddened me to see that it had lost the use of its hind legs it was really uplifting to see how excited it was to be outside actively engaging with other dogs.
I believe that it is our responsibility to provide the best quality of life for our dogs and denying them there natural right to an active life is not only unfair but also abusive.
This is why it is important that these devices be marketed in a manner that promotes practicality rather than as an extension of someone eccentric personality.
