InnoPet® Hercules 2.0 XLarge Dog Stroller & Bike Trailer | >50kgs | Grey/Yellow

Excellent product and even better customer service. Really good advice when I rang and product was delivered quickly. Stroller is strong and easy to manage.

We purchased this stroller for our 14 year old Labrador who has been feeling poorly recently/ mobility decreased etc. This product caught our eye straight away and although more expensive than others we viewed, it was by far of superior quality. It’s a good size and she can lay comfortably in it. It also has a rain over which is ideal along with openings at the front and back to make it easier to get our dog in and out. It’s easy to assemble which is ideal.

Our dog loves her new stroller and it has afforded her an element of freedom during her final journey. It was also delivered quickly which was a massive help to us. Customer service was positive too. We would absolutely recommend this product.

Thank you to Pets Own Us.

This stroller is absolutely brilliant, waited a while for it to come into stock, but worth the wait. Well made , easy to assemble, and fits in the car no problem. We’ve got a 12yr old chocolate Labrador called molly. She was a bit reluctant to get in at first, but once she got in she settled no problem. She’s not to good on her legs, so soon as she’s had enough walking, it’s a welcome relief for her to rest. We can also carry on walking, where we would normally have to go back home. It’s brilliant being able to do longer walks again, and it’s great off road as well. I know it’s slightly expensive, but it’s well worth it. A definite 5 star.

We have been using the innopet stroller for the last 18 months for my Labrador Peggy who suffers with advanced arthritis in both elbows. As her condition worsened she got to a point where sitting for any length of time was uncomfortable but to lay down she could only have her legs stretched out fully in front of her, this meant the stroller was now too small...(we had deliberately chosen the stroller for ease of lifting over stiles, squeezing through gates etc etc) so we upgraded to the Hercules. It gives us the room Peggy needs and we are now back to our normal 2 to 3 hour walks which our other Labrador enjoys while Peggy hops in and out of the buggy as she pleases and gets the chance to stretch out and recover until she’s ready for another run. Being on my own with one quite difficult choc lab (Dog and bike aggressive) and a large buggy with precious cargo inside was giving me concern about whether I could manoeuvre everybody on leads etc but it’s actually remarkably easy. Gates are no problem due to the rotating front wheel it wiggles round fine, too big to go through kissing gates and bridge stops, but even for a slightly aging, bad back and dodgy elbow carrier like me, it’s incredibly light and easy to lift. I do make Peggy get out first though!! It is however bulky and a full arms stretch for me so carrying across bridges while keeping Charlie on a lead is a struggle but still do-able. It is easy to push, very easy to manoeuvre, copes with long grass, mud, sand etc brilliantly. It folds up really easily and I love the red click points to release the arms. It’s quite big even folded and no longer fits neatly in my boot like the stroller did. Not a problem for odd days out as I can stand on its side and lean across to close the boot, but leaves no room for anything else. The only thing I find difficult is closing the arms when putting it up, I just find it really difficult to snap them down for some reason. Also I loved the feature on the stroller where you can set the handle height! On the Hercules it is a fixed handle which I don’t find as comfortable. That is the only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars. We love it and highly recommend it!

Bought this for my 14 years young 30kg English Pointer Murphy. The one true love of my life :) I deliberately left writing a review until I'd had a chance to use it regularly, so here goes: Purchase experience was seamless & delivery was prompt with good communication. On arrival, it was well packed & as promised no assembly (other than popping on the wheels, which is a doddle) was required. First thing ... You'll need something to blow up the tyres! I don't have the the luxury of space, so folding up & down is a daily task which although fairly simple, takes a bit of practice to master. There is definitely a knack to the red clips ! They only slide forward when the bar is a fraction shy of locked straight. After mastering that part, it's a doddle. The locking clips for the handle are great but I would say the metal rings holding them could be a little stronger. If you're in a rush to fold down (torrential rain) and don't pull the pin perfectly straight the metal loop just stretches . That could eventually lead to losing the pins. Stroller comes with rain cover which is excellent, although you need to be an origami genius to get it folded back flat. One thing I hadn't thought of until I received the stroller was what is the dog actually sitting on, the only add on offered was an extra storage bag. After much scouring on Ebay, I purchased a premium orthopedic foam dog bed crate mattress (£39.95) XL size 85x57x10cm fits perfectly. With all that out the way I left the stroller built up in a room & randomly threw treats in to get Murphy used to going in & out of his own accord. Seemed to do the trick :) The stroller it really easy to push, although on an incline if your dog decides to flop right at the back the weight will lift the front wheel & if the dog sits up to see around steering needs a bit extra concentration. Murphy took around 4 or 5 trips to settle properly & is now used to walking beside & then hopping in when his legs tire, he prefers the front being open so he can see where he's going. When it's closed he gets ratty & tries to dig his way out. So just as well the stitching & material are as sturdy :) Depending on the weather, be aware that in the sun it gets quite warm in there even with the front & top open. The back opens too but not really practical if you have things in the pockets, like the rain cover. (which I always do because I live in Scotland & it rains a lot) Ideally I have discovered that with the back seats down, the stroller fits in the back of a mini cooper without needing to remove the wheels. Perfect for me & Murphy Dog! We have already had many adventures & it's been great for both of us. Murphy used to walk me 7 miles every other night in life & go adventuring on the weekends. Poor lad can only manage a mile or two now & I don't have the heart to leave him alone & go walking by myself, so it's got us both out more. I would say, plan your route more carefully than usual because unless you have help, styles, bollards etc are now your enemy. I have also realised that no matter how excellent the wheels are & they are excellent...a 30kg dog will always weigh 30kgs, be prepared to reacquaint yourself with leg muscles you may have forgotten you had! So, yeah, you guys should think about selling mattresses for the base, cool mats for hot days, air pumps for the tyres, maybe a mirror so you can see cyclists creeping up behind you. All in all, it's definitely worth spending the extra money on this as opposed to the cheaper versions. Nothing is perfect but this gets pretty close. It's enriching the life of the Murphy Dog on an almost daily basis & I wish I'd bought one years ago. Even if your dog is capable of walking miles, not all dogs are sociable & after being attacked as a pup Murphy is one of them. So this would have been ideal for walking him to & from places without needing to deal with other peoples off lead dogs. Now with a touch of dementia, he is often unpredictable in his reactions with strangers & their dogs, thankfully whilst in the stroller he just ignores them :) So that's my review, I hope it gives insight & encourages many more people to get out walking with their furry families !

This has been great for our lab, suffering from arthritis after being a very active dog so walks are down to 30 mins. This has allowed us to access his swimming spots and take longer walks again, he had no problem getting used to it and just climbs in when he's ready so he can sit there taking in the smells. It has good stability and sufficient clearance to get across rough ground. It's easy to collapse at stiles although is fairly heavy for lugging over so something made out of lighter but strong alloy would be a great option to see.
