Colin Leake Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 The only thing I have against dogs in motorhomes is the extra hours spent planning our extensive holiday destinations making sure the dog will like them. Comments like "There's not much for Bunty there" keep cropping up! For the record she likes sea side destinations best or failing that ones that have plenty of interesting walks from the site. Towns and the location of shops and supermarkets seem not to register with her at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leake Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 If you are reading this you are probably a dog owner and lover. Sadly all our dogs get less mobile when they get older. Our twelve year old border terrier used to think nothing of walking all day (with a break in a pub for lunch) but now she has developed a limp and her ability to walk such distances has gone. The vet perscribed some medication which helped but advised us that walking her to far was only making matters worse. Our solution was to buy a special all terrain dog buggy which has been much admired on sites. Now we can still go on the long walks we love. She sits in the buggy like a queen only getting out when we reach the interesting bits such as a beach or open moorland. When she gets tired or starts to limp she goes back in the buggy. She loves it and by way of an additional benifit her limp is much reduced and she can now manage 3 or 4 miles again. It is also a great starting point for many interesting conversations with fellow dog lovers. If anyone is interested it is an AT3 and cost around £100 on the internet. Look it up under dog strollers (it's American) Make sure the dealer you use has one in stock as they have been selling very well but are only delivered in batches from the states so if it's not in stock you could finish up with a long wait. The only down side is that they do not fold very flat so make sure you have room to travel and store one remembering that they can finish up wet and muddy!

Mel B Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hi Colin Sounds like you're as daft as us! We've used baby-buggies for our dogs when they've had problems (from car boot sales and Freecycle), and also a papoose when taking a buggy wasn't possible, this was Midge in his papoose at the aire at La Mailleraye sur Seine.
