Pet Gear Expedition No-Zip Dog & Cat Stroller

I got this stroller two weeks ago after my 31 pound, 12 year old terrier mix tore her cranial cruciate tendon. She's too old for surgery. We lost so much of our quality of life which depends on our walks. How do you get the dog to want to get into that scary enclosure? The stroller doesn't look at all as open in person as in the photos. And I am unable to understand how a big dog is able to use this. It just isn't that large. Treats worked the first day and I thought we had a winner. It all surprised her and I was able to gently lift and get the last back leg into the unit. But the second day she realized she didn't have to put her back feet inside at all. She could stretch as faaaaaar as possible I got this stroller two weeks ago after my 31 pound, 12 year old terrier mix tore her cranial cruciate tendon. She's too old for surgery.

But the second day she realized she didn't have to put her back feet inside at all. She could stretch as faaaaaar as possible and get the treat. I'm stuck! I'm at a loss and thinking I have to find one with a better, larger entry system by the larger door. This one seems to have the front wheels too close together for a lame pup to get up into even though that is the end with the larger opening. I'm so hugely disappointed as I imagined me pulling her down to the park, then her getting out to play and sniff a little, then jumping back in to ride home. I feel like for us to get out of this depression at the changes caused by her injuries I've got to find a solution. A stroller of some sort seems like a good answer but of course only if she'll get into one. This is a lovely looking product and seems very well made in general. For a smaller dog that could be picked up and put into it, it's probably great. I gave three stars because of my personal issues, not so much regarding the quality of the stroller. The quality looks good, but it isn't giving us what I'd dreamed of and I'm not sure it can. Continuing to try. … more

I bought this for my 8 yr old lab who suffers from severe hip dysplasia, bad knees and back. I felt bad that she couldn't walk with me and my other dog Annie, so I purchased a different stroller for her. Broke after 5 days. Found this one on Chewy and we all LOVE it!!! She climbs in the back, the whole cover fold up so she's out where she can see everything and everyone can see her. She carries a "baby" with her on our rides and Annie walks right next to her and we're all happy to be together on our evening walks. My only regret is that I didn't purchase this one sooner. Love Chewy and love this Pet Gear stroller for large dogs!!!!

Our 78 pound Shar Pei mix has been undergoing chemotherapy and I had been researching endlessly to find a stroller that would allow him to continue going on family walks, since he's not able to keep up. This arrived within 2 days and was very easy to assemble by myself, the boysenberry color was also super cute (not nearly as pink as it seems in the photos). I loved everything about this stroller and he took to it very quickly (he was perfectly happy to just stay in there and hang out). Unfortunately, the minute we pulled out of the driveway for our first test walk the front wheels started to buckle and bow to the sides.

Unfortunately, the minute we pulled out of the driveway for our first test walk the front wheels started to buckle and bow to the sides. I had to keep stopping to straighten them out otherwise they would have snapped off completely. We were walking on smooth asphalt, no cracks or big bumps and he was seated the entire time (not wobbling around). Upon further investigation, we realized this is due to the design of the front wheels and how they attach to the base of the stroller. They're plastic and don't really seat completely, leaving wiggle room that makes them weak to heavy weight. I have no idea how anyone has been able to make this work for dogs over 50lbs, even though it's rated for up to 150lbs! Chewy made the return process incredibly easy and now we're back on the hunt for a stroller that will work! … more

I bought this stroller after my dog was diagnosed with heart disease and wasn’t able to walk as far. With the stroller he can go for a bit and then hop in and ride in luxury. I did add a USB rechargeable fan and a sun shade. I wish a sun shade/rain cover or solid cover for the top window came included to give that added protection. We have used this stroller almost daily since April and fold it up everyday to store in the garage and so far it has held up well. As others mentioned the wheels are not inflatable so I’m hoping they continue to hold up. My dog is 40lbs and can sit, stand, or lay in this stroller.

I put off ordering this for a while, thinking our dogs wouldn’t like it, would squirm around in it or be afraid of it. Instead they absolutely love it. Our dogs are 13 and 16 and mobility has been going downhill. This has given us all a new lease of life. I can get them both out for fresh air and get some exercise myself. Our dogs are 45 and 50 pounds, a small pit bull and a Shepard mix and they fit in just fine. They were both able to lie down comfortably and enjoyed the ride! The stroller itself was easy to assemble, maneuvers easily and is light weight. I was worried about the quality of the ride on city streets but no problems at all.

14 yr old 80 lb border collie, who doesn't get around so well for long distances. She still loves to go on walks but tires quickly due to arthritis pain. When she tires she will climb in the stroller and continue our walk, Love the fact that it has entry pr exit from front and back so dog doesn't have to get in and turn around

This 150 pound capacity stroller was a perfect purchase for spoiled pooches. It folds down with ease. That is the main reason we bought this one. It has a door, yes a door that is hinged so the pups walk in and it securely latches. The tires are thick for a smooth ride and easy pushing for this 60+ couple. It has a solid bottom with a velcro removable built in dog bed. The pop off for more room in your trunk. Assembly was 5 minutes easy as pie. Now, as we needed to store it when not in use we purchased a 5mil thick queen mattress storage bag, cut the bag to fit, and use a removable zip nylon tie to close the bag. It keeps the stroller dry and clean.

Great for my dog who is a Tripod & tires easily. She walks for a little while & then goes in the stroller. It is big enough to hold her (70 lbs.) plus a water bowl. She enjoys the ride!

My dog, Mya, is an 80lb mutt who is about 15 years old. She takes daily pain meds for her arthritis but otherwise is a pretty spunky old girl. She can only walk for maybe 3 blocks before getting sore and tired, and it was getting to where we would leave her at home all the time when we went out places. Decided to get this stroller and open her world back up a bit. She was definitely uncertain about the whole concept at first, and so far she definitely prefers smooth pavement over bumpy forest paths, but she is liking it. I'm absolutely loving it. We have used it a couple times now. Her favorite configuration so far is to raise the front so she can see the world better and meet other My dog, Mya, is an 80lb mutt who is about 15 years old.

We have used it a couple times now. Her favorite configuration so far is to raise the front so she can see the world better and meet other dogs but stay laying down. It works surprisingly well. I love that the handlebar is adjustable for height and that the back wheels are a squishy rubber for a nice ride. I hope it stays durable and functional for the rest of her life. … more

Perfect for my Dalmatian with a torn CCL to enjoy the outdoors while awaiting surgery and recovering. For the money, I would have expected sturdier rubber wheels. Not this plastic/foam mix. After a few miles there is no tread left.
