Wanner Strollers For Small Dogs , ,

Introduction:

In our past few posts we have been reviewing some of the biggest names in small dog pet strollers, and in this post, we will be discussing the No Zip NV Pet Stroller by Pet Gear. This article will give you all of the necessary information to make the best decision if this stroller is the best option for you and your family.

Small dogs are fantastic, and while there are a variety of great benefits of adding a small dog into your family, small dogs, unfortunately, do have one downfall. No matter how active they are, small dogs often times struggle to keep up with their human family members on long walks, regular hikes, and throughout daily errands. This is where a pet stroller may come in handy for you and your family.

This article will discuss one of the most popular options on the market, the No Zip NV Pet Stroller by Pet Gear, including the basic product information, the pros and cons, as well as any additional information you may need to help make your decision if this is the best stroller for your family.

Product Information:

Weight Limit Interior Dimensions Weight
70 Pounds 28”L x 12.5”W x 22.5”H 27 Pounds
Wheel Size Tires Colors
12” Air Ride 3 (1 Front, 2 Rear) Black, Dalmation, Rose, Skyline

Pros:

One of the biggest pluses about the No Zip NV Pet Stroller is as the name suggests, the no zip entrances. Many other strollers on the market today tend to have durability issues with the zipper and the surrounding fabric, whereas this particular stroller does not have this flaw. It is also much easier to open or close this stroller with a squirming animal.

Another great feature of this stroller is the front locking wheel, which means that your animal is able to safely jump in and out of the stroller without the stroller shifting or moving.

The No Zip NV Pet Stroller also features air tires, which allows a smoother ride for your pet. This is particularly important if your pet suffers from arthritis or other chronic pain conditions. Some people find that the air tires also allow better control of the stroller as well.

Another great feature of this stroller is the attached pad that comes with the stroller. Many pets, and their owners find this is helpful for maintaining a high level of comfort, particularly for picky dogs or those who are suffering from chronic conditions.

Finally, the No Zip NV Pet Stroller is also very easy to assemble, and compared to other strollers that can accommodate the same amount of weight, it is very lightweight. This stroller can accommodate up to 70 pounds, which is a much higher weight limit than other strollers for small dogs on the market today.

Cons:

While there are many great features of this particular stroller, there are some drawbacks about the No Zip NV Pet Stroller. One of the biggest concerns is that the carriage height of this stroller may be a little bit too high for particularly short dogs, or dogs who are suffering from injuries or disabilities.

Additionally, many people have found that while the Air Ride tires are fantastic for the most part, there are a couple of concerns about them that should be considered. First many have found that the hardware that comes with the stroller has a tendency to warp and become unusable rather quickly. Furthermore, while the air tires create a smooth ride, some have found that they lose air quickly and even leak to the point of being unusable.

The No Zip NV Pet Stroller also may not be the best for those who are looking to use this stroller on multiple types of terrain. While it is great for in town on sidewalks or the side of roads, gravel or rocky, uneven surfaces may not be ideal.

The carriage of this stroller also sits fairly high, even higher than other strollers we have reviewed, so it may be even harder than others for dogs who are handicapped, injured, or simply old to easily and simply get in and out of the stroller without help.

Finally, some users have found that this particular stroller tends to have some issues with the steering, making it difficult to keep this stroller moving in the right direction.

Additional Information:

This stroller contains a good amount of storage below the carriage, which is important for long walks and to bring along any toys, leashes, or water dishes for your dog, as well as any personal effects you may need.

Additionally, the customer service of this company is praised by some, while others have not had the best of luck. This is something to consider if you do end up struggling with the quality of the No Zip NV Pet Stroller (keep in mind many people do not have problems!) you may struggle to get any issues rectified.

Conclusion:

When you are on the market for a new stroller to cater to you and your canine friend’s needs, it can be difficult to know where to start and how to know which stroller is going to be truly the best fit for you. Particularly when strollers can be anywhere between $50 and $400, trial and error can be time-consuming and fairly expensive.

We hope that this review, and the other reviews for strollers that we have recently published, are useful in sorting through all the information about strollers on the market.

There are some definitely some issues with this particular stroller, however, there are plenty of different positive aspects of this Pet Gear option that make it a great choice if you own a small dog. Therefore, the No Zip NV Pet Stroller is a fantastic option for those who are on the market for a new stroller for small dogs.

Paws & Pals City Walk N Stride Review

Wanner Strollers For Small Dogs , ,

Introduction:

Owning small dogs has a lot of definite perks, since they make great lap pets, are generally easy to exercise, are able to live in an apartment, and are so much easier to bathe. However, when it comes to owners who live very active lifestyles, small dogs face their first fault, as they often do not have the stamina to keep up with their owners on long walks, hikes, or runs. This is where a stroller for small dogs will definitely come in handy.  

However, there are many different options available for dog strollers for small breeds, and there is a lot of information to sort through. This review focuses on the Paws & Pals City Walk and Stride Stroller and why this might be right for you and your needs. In this review, we will discuss the product details, pros and cons, and any additional information may need to make an informed decision.  

Product Details:  

Below are the basics of the Paws & Pals City Walk N Stride stroller for small dogs.  

Brand  Interior Dimensions  Exterior Dimensions  Folded Dimensions 
OxGord  21”L x 14”W x 19”H   34”L x 18”W x 40”H   32”L x 17”W x 11”H 
Weight   Wheel Size  Tires  Colors  
13.6 Pounds  Front: 5.75”  

Rear: 7.25”  

 2 Front, 2 Rear   Pink, Purple, Black, Navy Blue, Blue Plaid, Red  

Pros:

There are numerous different aspects of this stroller make this stroller a great option if you have small dogs in your life who want to accompany you in your day to day activities or exercising. One great feature of the Paw & Pals City Walk N Stride is how great it is for your dog to get in and out of this stroller. This stroller features both rear and front openings for you and your dogs’ preference to getting in and out of the carriage. Additionally, the locking wheels make it stable for entrances and exits.  

As well as this, this stroller is fairly spacious, so even if you have more than one dog taking advantage of the stroller, they are able to move about easily throughout the carriage.  

This stroller comes with a removable rain cover, which helps to protect your pet from the elements and bugs. It’s easy to retract as well if your dog prefers to have a little bit of sun in their fur from time to time. Beyond that, this stroller also features two leashes to help keep your dogs in place and not running after other dogs, people, or wildlife.  

Finally, this stroller is lightweight, easy to assemble, and easy to collapse. This makes it an ideal option if you are going to be frequently transporting it in your car, or if you are short on storage space in your home.  

Cons: 

There are many benefits of this stroller, but there are also some things to keep in mind as you are considering purchasing this dog stroller. While it is fairly easy for an able-bodied dog to get in and out of the carriage, it is a fair distance from the ground, so if your dog has any sort of mobility issues, it may be difficult for your dog to get in and out of.  

Additionally, the biggest concern about this stroller is the fact that the manufacturer does list a weight capacity recommendation with this product. Many other reviewers have found that this stroller can comfortably accommodate 30 to 35 pounds, but it is unknown what the long-term effects of a  heavier dog could have on this particular stroller in terms of durability. While many reviewers find this to be a fantastic option for their pets, without the weight recommendation from the manufacturer, it is hard to wholeheartedly recommend this stroller, particularly in the long term.  

Beyond that, even if the stroller is able to accommodate 35 pounds, it is somewhat restrictive if you are looking for a stroller to accommodate two or more small dogs. If you are looking for a stroller that can handle multiple small to medium dogs, check out our reviews of the No Zip NV Pet Stroller or the Promenade Pet Stroller.  

Many people find that strollers that close with zippers often times malfunctioned or were not as escape proof as they could be. If your dog is somewhat of a scratcher or an escape artist, no zip options may be a better choice for you and your furry companions.   

The pad on the bottom of the stroller tends to be fairly thin, so you may find that is necessary to add an additional cushion or blanket at the bottom in order to keep your dog comfortable.  

Finally, some reviewers have found that this particular stroller does not manoeuvre as easily as other models, due to the four wheel design. Some have found that the wheel design is not very sturdy, nor does it travel well through sand or other rough terrain.  

Additional Information:  

While the Paws & Pals City Walk N Stride sits fairly high off the ground, which can be a struggle to get in an out of the carriage for the particularly small or disabled dogs, it does allow for extra storage space below the carriage of this stroller. This is particularly handy if you don’t have extra hands to carry toys, leashes, or other dog accessories. Additionally, this particular stroller does come with detachable cup holders to ensure that you and your furry companions stay hydrated on long walks or runs.   

Conclusion:

Regardless of why you need a stroller for you and your puppy children, this stroller is an excellent addition to your pet accessories collection. With over 700 5- Star reviews on Amazon, and many other positive reviews throughout the internet, this stroller is a fantastic option for your furried friends.
