Today when I was out on a walk with my younger dog on a leash and my senior dog in his stroller, I was reminded of how amazing a dog stroller can be. If you are like me and have one dog who can walk without issue, and another who can only walk for a few minutes then you will appreciate what I am saying.

Having the ability to take both dogs out for the walks they both enjoy so much is so rewarding I don’t know what I ever did without one

For those of you who are new to the concept, here are the top 10 reasons to use a dog stroller.

1. Allows your senior dog to come on long walks again.

2. Older dogs can walk when able and ride when they need a rest, allowing them to continue to get the exercise they need to stay healthy.

3. Getting your older dog out and about helps to keep their minds stimulated, contributing to better mental health.

4. You no longer have to look into the disappointed face of your senior dog as you tell them they can’t come with you because now they can!

5. Dog strollers are easy to transport so you can bring them anywhere.

6. The right dog stroller can last years giving you extreme value for your dollar.

7. Older dogs love the view from the dog stroller. It keeps them young at heart and can breathe new life into your senior dog.

8. Not only can a dog stroller help to keep your elderly dog active, but you might find yourself shedding a few pounds as well with all the walking or jogging.

9. If your dog has arthritis, is injured or disabled, a dog stroller is a great way to help them travel safely whether it’s to the vet, groomer or to the park.

10. Many dog strollers can fit two dogs comfortably so even if you have two older dogs, you can all get back to walking again.

Can you think of some reasons I missed? Share your thoughts or experiences with your dog stroller.

*UPDATE: The Dogger is NOW AVAILABLE

After 2 years of customer feedback, design, testing, and re-design, we are finally ready to introduce our new dog stroller / jogger called the Dogger™. This dog stroller can be a huge help for older dogs that have trouble walking. It means that owners no longer need to leave their senior dogs behind – you can take them anywhere. Older dogs can use this dog stroller to stay active; walking when able and resting when needed.They still need to get out on those walks that they love so much, but they need to be able to stay active at their own pace.

I hope you will be as excited as I am when you see what the Dogger has to offer in our video below.

Let me know what you think

I love technology. Check out the short video I was able to create to help show people our dog jogger prototype called a Dogger™. We are working on this product to help senior dogs, injured dogs and handicapped dogs enjoy life.

I have been dying to write this post as we finally get to give our readers and fellow dog owners a sneak peak at something that we are super excited about and that’s our very own dog jogger. This video gives you a first time look at the Dogger™ prototype. We aren’t finished, but I wanted to show where we are so far in the product development process. In this video I show the Dogger outside in action and I take you through the issues we have identified, which we will be fixing, and show you the really cool features we have added. I am also open to comments and feedback.

This dog jogger aka Dogger™ has been created because we believe that dog owners (and dogs) deserve to have a jogger that raises the bar above what is currently available. One that is of the same standard as products we would buy for our children and one that is practical to truly suit the needs of dog owners and most importantly their dogs. Older dogs, handicapped dogs, injured dogs and even small dogs who have challenges when it comes to walking, can find their second wind with this jogger. It is a life changer and a product that we plan on backing with a 10 Year Guarantee!

We are also building the Dogger to help serve the needs of Canadians. As a Canadian business and a Canadian dog owner we see a serious lack of options when it comes to specialty dog products. We are planning to introduce our own dog jogger because we want to help owners in Canada make a signficant difference in their dog’s life. (Don’t worry we also plan on selling this all around the world.)

Enjoy and let me know what you think so far.

What I am really hoping for is some feedback. We have taken feedback from our current customers as well as our own and poured it into this new design. As you’ll see from our outdoor review of it shown above, we still have some changes to make to get this just right.

Some of the challenges I describe involve being a Canadian business trying to get the attention of Canadian manufacturers. Anyways tune in and hear me out and please let me know what you think of our idea and of our Dogger prototype.

Thanks for listening.

p.s. If there are any consumers, retailers or Canadian manufacturers interested in discussing this cool new idea in further detail, please drop me a line: afleming@dogquality.com. I love talking about it!
