Best Dog Stroller for Hiking in the UK

 Hitting the trail with your furry friend to explore the wilderness is soul food. It is such fun and a bonding experience. Hiking does require some preparation and you need to ensure your dog is up to the task. You might have concerns about the terrain, your dogs temperament or health. They may not be able to go the distance as easily as they used to. Dog strollers give your dog the pleasure of the luxury version. It inevitably saves their joints and paws from the slog. It also saves you the stress as you always have somewhere to contain your dog if necessary and all that extra storage for goodies. Particularly handy when you have two dogs and one is stronger than other but still unable to cover the whole distance.

Dog Strollers Built for Hiking

" Well we are just back from a couple of days walking.

I am extremely pleased with the Air Buggy Comfort Stroller. It is genuinely an all terrain stroller, it was easy and light to control with one hand and dealt with all the terrains without a hitch - grass, gravel, sand, hard baked lumpy mud and some very overgrown areas. For example from Ferrybridge (Weymouth) to East Barn there are some wooden steps, a very overgrown 20 minutes of path going through scrub, a bit of beach, also several stiles. The stroller was manageable getting through stiles, as the rotating front wheel means you can turn it on a sixpence. We managed it all. Almost everyone passing stopped to comment, admire and ask questions. Most had never seen one. Highly recommended!"

Hiking with Lynne Allbutt & Yogi

Soon after Yogi unfortunately got injured, Lynne got the Sporty all terrain dog stroller to continue her outdoor adventures with Yogi. Here is what she had to say about hiking with the Sporty dog stroller.

"My energetic terrier-ist snapped her cruciate ligament a month ago and, despite it healing well, she was getting quite depressed by the lack of time she was able to spend with me outdoors. We were used to running, walking and working together and it was a quite a lifestyle change for us both.  Searching for a solution, I came across the Sporty Pet Stroller and as you can see by the photos, she absolutely loves being back outdoors again.

I have been impressed by the quality of service from Pets Own Us, as well as the fabulous quality of the product and it’s maneuverability.  It took Yogi a day or two – and some treats – to get used to it and we have already been running over all sorts of mountainous terrain and are planning to go to the beach soon. It is a delight to use ‘off road’ as well as on the country lanes, and easy to push whilst running.  It also has a big handy pocket on the back which is useful for all those necessary bits and pieces … and dog treats!  The Sporty Pet Stroller has given us back our ‘together time’, which is priceless."
