Doggyhut

Firstly, really great customer service. delivered within the time- frame 5 working days as promised.
Secondly, very easy to put up and use. Fits in the car perfectly although you have to fold it and put all the gubbins in as well i.e. handlebar, front wheel although the main two big wheels can be left on.
I took off the tow-bar as I only want to use it as a doggy buggy.
Downside is there is not brake fitted so you have to hold on to the buggy when the dog is climbing in otherwise it moves away.
I have not used it for towing as I do not intend using it for a bike.
If you are, I found it a bit fiddly and difficult to slot in the safety bar for added security for towing. However, I found I don't need to slot it in for walking, it's only really to keep the cabin erect when towing, so not a real issue for me.
I am very happy with this buggy and me dog, Jazz likes it too. It enables her to come with me and my other dog Pepsi to her favorite places without tiring herself out as she's an old lady and arthritic.
Make sure you have a bike pump in case you have to inflate tyres which I did ,bought one but handy to keep anyway

New life

Just to say fantastic product. It’s given me and my dog a new found freedom to enjoy countryside and get out and about.

Transport is a new lease of life for an ageing dog

This Stroller is a great purchase, it is easy to fold up and down and the wheels go on and off easily. All the zips are good quality and work well. It man-overs well and has a good break. We love our outings in it now that my dog can't walk very far. He is a small collie and this stroller is exactly the right size for him.

Superb

Absolutely delighted with my Hercules. The build quality is superb, and it can turn on a sixpence. My beautiful Bearded Colllie who has acute osteoarthritis in all her legs, along with just being treated for cancer has taken several turns in it already, and although perhaps a little unsure on the odd occasion when in it, she is pretty relaxed. Its given me a new lease of life too, I can now get out for much longer walks (first outing was 3 miles) rather than having to leave her at home and worrying about her. Highly recommend 😁

Per stroller

What a fantastic stroller. Bought this to replace an ageing stroller, and how things have progressed!
This is a quality product with great suspension and excellent manoeuvrability, with extra added bonus of being able to convert to a tug along.
My elderly cavalier King Charles took to it right away, he looked very comfortable and I was pleased to see that I could secure him with internal straps. A sturdy and well made product.
