Dog Strollers for Sick Pets Courtesy of Angel at Popgadget.Net www.popgadget.net
I got quite a few sneers on the pet stroller for my cat, but you know what? He was nearing the end of his life and needed 5-6 small feedings a day, plus IV fluids 3 times daily. He was too ill to romp outside, but still very much engaged in life. So I got one of those dog strollers and took him places, where he could still see the world and interact with people. He died about 2 weeks later, happy to the end. That pet stroller was worth as much as all the medical treatments, when it came to end-of-life care.
One of my dogs (60 lbs)is now 11 and developing hip arthritis. She, too, is still happy and outgoing, but has started trying to avoid leash walks because she is too stiff. We still walk as much as possible -- it's good for her -- but otherwise she is house-bound. So, guess who gets a pet stroller next?! Before anyone passes judgment, I recommend that they consider the circumstances. Not all such pets are pampered princesses. Some are just loved and well cared-for.
