Stay Together: Pram Walks to Keep Senior Dogs Included on Outings

Submitted by Kathryn H, Caringbah Veterinary Hospital
A purple and black DodoPet dog stroller is shown on a grassy background. A polaroid photo is pinned to the image, showing a grey whippet dog sitting inside the stroller, with the text "TOMMY'S DAY OUT!". This visually connects the product to its real-world use for a senior pet.

As our companions age, their desire for walks and outdoor adventures doesn’t fade, even if their physical ability does. For pet parents with senior dogs who can no longer manage the distance of a daily walk, a pet pram or dog stroller is a wonderful way to keep them involved and connected with their family.

Kathryn H from Caringbah Veterinary Hospital shares her personal experience: “I bought a pram so my senior whippet could still accompany the other two on walks. He loved being included and getting out with us. When choosing a stroller for your dog, look for features like heavy-duty construction, removable wheels for easy cleaning, rear-wheel brakes for safety, and options for both front and rear entry to suit your dog’s needs. Finding the right stroller can make a huge difference in maintaining mobility and quality of life for dogs with special needs.”

This story beautifully illustrates how a pet pram can help keep older dogs and those with mobility challenges or fatigue involved in the sights, smells, and company of a daily walk without any physical strain. It’s an easy, accessible way to ensure your dog continues to receive crucial mental stimulation and social interaction.

A dog pram can make a huge difference in maintaining their happiness and quality of life. It is a thoughtful way to keep your companion connected and happy throughout their retirement. You can find a DodoPet pram like Tommy’s here.
