Angas is now four weeks post amputation.  We are slowly building up his fitness and strengthening his left hind leg with short walks.  We would like to in the future to do longer walks, but we know Angas would not make the distance.  We have searched the internet for a pram that we could use for Angas to help him out.  None of the prams are big enough in length and height for him to lay or sit in there comfortably.  Would anybody have any suggestions of where we could start looking or if they have made something themselves to suit a larger dog.  Help would be appreciated as this will help greatly as our weekends were spent taking our dogs on day out excursions.

Hi Angas

My golden retriever, Sophie, liked to go for long walks with our friend, her dog walker, during the day when I was at work. After Sophie's amputation, Angie – our dog walker friend, fashioned a Chariot out of an old bicycle cart for kids. You can check it out on my blog "Not Sophie's Choice" where there is a video showing Sophie enjoying a day out in the sunshine with her group of canine friends.

Not fancy – but practical.

Your Chariot, is probably the way we will have to go.  We have looked at a stroller like the one shown on the webpage, and Angas is a very long dog and I dont think he would be comfortable lying in it as he would be cramped and sitting he is too tall.  So looking at your chariot we are going to give it a go at making our own.  And improve on it as we go along.

Thanks Tana
