Hi,
I am an owner of 4 beautiful cocker spaniels who certainly my keep me busy.
My eldest fur bab, Lily, is starting to slow down on walks and I am considering purchasing either a dog buggy or a dog carrier (rucksack) I wondered if anyone had any experience of either and could offer some advice.
Thanks,
Jo
 
I bought a dog buggy about 18 months ago when my dog ruptured his cruciate ligament. It was a great purchase, it let us get out and about and probably saved our sanity.

The advice I was given was to go for one with three wheels (easier to manoeuvre) and big wheels if possible for a smoother ride over rough ground. My dog faced forwards in it, but think about whether your dog would prefer that, or to be facing you.

The one I used had straps to attach to my dog's harness, I'd have liked them to have been fastened to the frame a little further back from where they were. And - not really a problem because I just removed it - it came with a white seat pad. I mean, white for a dog? Really?

I think the size I had would be small for a cocker, it was the Rodoo for dogs up to 20lb, and I bought it from Amazon.

We had this one for our Parson terrier when she couldn’t go on longer walks anymore, lots of room inside and she enjoyed going for outings in it. Brought ours from a lady who only used it a couple of times and was like new. Great off road too!

Hello and welcome to you and your dogs. No experience of buggies, but I see you've had some useful information already.
 
Thank you for your responses I think after reading these I will opt for the buggy rather than a rucksack as it feel it would be more comfortable for my dog.
Lily weighs 16kg so I think the Radoo would be perfect
 
Welcome to the forum, I hope you end up with the buggy you both need:)
 
There are some lovely people around - something that moves me whenever I see the efforts made for our critters.
