Re: Dog Prams
I see these prams about occasionally too.
I think the only time I might be tempted to use one is if my dog was recovering from surgery and I wanted to give her a 'change of scene' to cheer her up. Or possibly if the dog was very old and frail.
I'd certainly never use one enough to warrant buying one though, as I can stick mine in the car and go wherever we want.
If these contraptions are bought merely to encourage some owners to indulge perfectly healthy, but pampered pets, then the owner must have more money then sense and isn't doing the dog any favours.
A dear friend of mine who died, used to have 5 dogs. Two German Shepherds, two Pyrenean Sheepdogs, and a little long coat Chihuahua.
My friend lived in the highlands of Scotland and the little Chihuahua went on all the same hilly, long walks as the big dogs. She even did a 10m mararthon with him once. He was as fit as a flea, well muscled and a tough little cookie, who loved his adventures.
Little dogs can be just as capable of a normal life as any other dog. Don't make them into invalids is my advice.
