Daisys Mum Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Hi :) About 4 weeks ago Lacey (CKCS) had surgery on her left Patella (Luxating with a Grade 5) and she is still on strict limited exercise for another month or so... We have started taking her to the beach and let her swim for about 5 minutes , but she really misses her nightly walk with her best mate (Kelpie) So I have been Googling because I had the idea of getting a pram thing which once finished with will convert to the car as a booster seat, I have seen a couple of them on EBay but don't like the look of them Is this a good idea or am I just wasting my money ... I have a bad back so carrying a 8 kilo dog isn't feasible .. Does anyone know where I can source one from?

kelpiecuddles Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 What about just getting an old emaljunga pram cheap and passing it on once she no longer needs it, they are a bit more enclosed than you average pram and could work quite well.

Daisys Mum Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hmmm that's an idea.. Never thought of that .. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesluvscavs Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Theres been threads recently about special types of mobility harness's, Im wondering if they would help you/Lacey Marg ? Edited October 10, 2013 by Jules❤3Cavs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisys Mum Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Just had a quick search and I can't find the threads ... But then I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to searching things I don't come in this forum much so it could be pages back. I just Googles mobility harnesses but it's not quite what I was looking for ... Picking her up with my bad back wouldn't be ideal.

Poodle wrangler Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Older prams cannot be sold by op shops for human babies due to safety concerns. I often see usable ones dumped by charity bins. Would look in op shops and ask also as they may be headed for the dumpster. It is for a pet, not baby. Might look a little odd, but is a practical thing to do for all of you. Much better than you all sitting at home, bored! I had trouble walking any distance with only a 5kg puppy (incomplete vaccs, so no footpath walks) and no bad back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
