I think pet strollers for dogs are the greatest invention, so it made sense to write about why I believe senior dog parents should buy a dog stroller.
Considering how fantastic I think they are, I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised I came up with 21 reasons!
I must admit that when I first saw a dog in a stroller, I had a mix of emotions. Actually, I think it was less of a mix and more of a judgment.
My first thought was how funny it was, then ridiculous, then I chastised (in my head, not out loud) the woman pushing the stroller, ranting about now letting her dog’s paws touch the ground, he’s not an accessory, blah blah blah.
After carrying my dog around for a couple of years and getting a backache every time, I realized I was going to get the very thing I thought was ridiculous. And I did and I love it!
Last Updated: May 20, 2023
Whenever I took my senior dog out in her stroller, I always got tons of looks and comments.
At first I felt uncomfortable being the focus of so much attention. But then it was pointed out to me that I was helping a lot of people by being out and about with it.
Pet strollers are still not that well known where we live. Many people have told me they thought it was a brilliant idea and could use one for their dog.
I can only hope many more dogs will get out now than they would have if their parents hadn’t seen me.
Because I am in love with senior dogs, I automatically gravitate towards them, yet I have often commented about how few I actually encounter on my walks.
If they feel stuck close to home due to mobility challenges, seeing my stroller may spark the “ah ha” moment that gets more seniors out in the fresh air!

Here are my 21 reasons why you need to buy a dog stroller
1. Senior dogs will no longer get left behind
Senior dogs, or “settled,” as I recently saw them referred to, don’t have to get left out when the rest of the family are off for a day of fun.
On weekends when the weather is nice, my husband and I like to go for a leisurely stroll along the beach or to a more remote location where I can let our dogs off the leash for a good run.
Before opening my mind to the use of strollers for dogs, this often meant that someone had to stay home because I didn’t want to leave my senior dog alone.
This is especially true for those with a dog suffering from separation anxiety or dementia. (Or those that simply want an excuse so they don’t have to go – I see you! I’ve done it too.)
Once I got the pet stroller, I loaded it up with all our supplies, stuck her in it and off we went. She got to come out with us and enjoy a few hours of sunshine.
There are even different stroller options to suit any adventure – like a dog jogging stroller with wheels better suited for moving down the street with little resistance or a dog wagon stroller that doubles as a breathable, shaded kennel on your next beach outing.
2. Injured dogs
Injured dogs may not be able to go for walks, but they still need fresh air.
Your top priority is to do what you can to ensure your dog heals properly. But boredom and frustration aren’t healthy.
Ask your vet if it would be safe to take him out in the stroller for a change of scenery.
3. Recovering from surgery
A similar scenario to the one above but equally important to address is a dog recovering from illness or surgery.
Dogs get bored without physical exercise and mental stimulation, leading to behavior issues. This can also cause stress and anxiety in your dog.
Taking them out into the world, even if it’s just in a stroller, is a help. All with your vet’s approval, of course!
If you have a larger dog, you can purchase a specialized dog stroller for large dogs, providing plenty of space to rest comfortably and accommodate any braces or other medical gear during your outing.
4. Easier than a carrier
Carriers can be quite awkward or heavy to carry for the average person. This is an even greater struggle if you have physical limitations preventing you from lifting heavy objects.
Rather than trying to carry your dog, a stroller makes it easy to travel from point A to point B.
5. Longer outings with your dog
If your dog is not able to walk for as long as he used to, a stroller is a great option.
It is the perfect compromise for those times when you would like him along for a day out, but you know he (or she) won’t have the stamina.
Let your dog walks as much as he wants or can, then let him hop in when he needs a break.
6. Visits to the vet
Do you live within walking distance of your vet? Would you, at times, like to be able to get that nice long walk in, but it’s a bit out of range for your dog?
Get your dog, grab your stroller, put your sneakers on, and start walking.
Before we moved, I had a wonderful vet I loved so much that I would make the trek to our old hometown just to see him. Getting there by car was hellish, so public transport was the best and quickest way.
Whether you need to navigate a bus, a subway, or even just a long walk across town, a dog stroller will make it possible to head to the vet without even starting the car.
7. Events or large gatherings
Are you planning on attending a festival, air show, or other outdoor event? If so, a pet stroller is not only convenient, it may also be the best safety tool.
Even if your dog is able to cope in large, noisy crowds, there is a real risk of injury, no matter what size he is.
He could easily be stepped on or react and bite someone if frightened.
Small dogs are often overlooked or unnoticed, putting them at a higher risk of injury at these events. A dog stroller for small dogs will keep them safe and contained.
Your dog’s stroller can also be a secure place to keep your belongings.
Unless your dog is wearing a harness, the commotion could cause him to slip out of his collar and run off.
Large crowds and festivals also mean plenty of spilled drinks, dropped fries, and other harmful foods on the ground. There is enough temptation for your dog to have a field day and get quite ill with pancreatitis, for example.
It’s too risk, especially if he has dietary restrictions.
8. No more excuses not to exercise!
Walk at the pace you want until your dog is too tired, then treat him to a ride without you having to end your workout early.
I admit I am sometimes lazy when it comes to exercise. We all have our “off” days. Using a dog stroller eliminates the easy excuse that your dog is done for the day.
Plus, it allows you to pick up the pace of your walk or even go jogging without worrying about pushing your dog into an activity they aren’t comfortable with.
Another exercise-related benefit of using a stroller is that it may offer some resistance to work your arms a little during your walk.
9. One slow dog/one fast dog, or one big dog/one small dog
For all of us who have more than one dog…. how often do you have dogs that walk at the same pace? I never do, that’s for sure!
This scenario has “pet stroller” written all over it.
Let them walk together as long as they can. When one runs out of steam, let him recharge in the stroller without compromising your other dog’s walk.
10. Access to “restricted” places
There are shops where dogs are welcome and others that will only allow you to bring a dog in if you carry him.
I don’t know if you’ve tried it, but carrying a small dog while looking at clothes or trying on shoes without letting their feet touch the ground is no easy task.
By investing in a dog stroller, you are opening the door to bring your dog along with you when visiting these locations.
Of course, always pay attention to the signage and rules – there are many places where dogs aren’t allowed even if they are riding in a stroller.
11. Charity fun run
Fun runs and charity events are often organized with the whole family in mind. Of course, that means including your dog (or cat if he or she is that laid back).
These events last several hours, and rather than rushing home because you left the dog alone or leaving him alone for an extended time, bring him along.
In the past, you may have hesitated because you knew crowds and noise would get to him. But now that you’ve discovered the many uses of the pet stroller, he can join in too!
Put the sunshade down and zip the mesh screen up for some quiet space, creating a mobile den for him!
12. For people who live in extremely congested areas
If you live right in the heart of a bustling city (picture London on a Saturday in the summer, or any day really, or the crazy busy streets of Manhattan), it can be challenging to walk your dog, particularly if you have a small one.
He can get hurt with so much pedestrian traffic, especially if people don’t see him.
Given how wrapped up people get in themselves, it’s not a difficult scenario to imagine. Often they have no clue what’s going on around them.
Your dog may get so nervous that he develops anxiety and avoids going out altogether.
Of course, a harness sounds like an excellent idea in this type of environment. But a stroller may be an even better and more secure solution.
Use it until you get to the park or a nice quiet area, let him out to walk, and use it again when you reach the busy streets.
13. Traveling on a ferry or boat
Some dogs don’t like the feel of the gangway or dock surface.
Short of dragging them (which you should never do), you either carry them or use a stroller to easily transport them on and off the ferry.
Keeping your dog confined in the stroller during the trip is also a safe thing to do. If it’s a new experience, he may feel anxious or overwhelmed by the sights and sounds.
Keeping him in the stroller will make it a more pleasant voyage for everyone and give him a feeling of security.
14. Transporting foster puppies or kittens
If you foster puppies or kittens and are back and forth to the vet or shelter, you know how heavy a carrier can get.
Imagine how much easier it would be to wheel them around in a stroller.
Try using a large dog stroller or wider pen-style stroller to transport several puppies or kittens at the same time with ease. It can save you both time and energy!
15. Multi dog households
Of course, the stroller cannot and should not replace proper scheduled walks. Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest…
At times, when you’re headed straight to the dog park, it can be a bit of a nightmare trying to get them there because they are all going in different directions.
Sticking one or all of them in a stroller and wheeling them to the park may come in handy.
I should add that some leash training, done with each dog individually, may be in order. Ideally, you should be able to walk your dogs nicely to the dog park, but who lives in an ideal world?
16. More quality time for you and your pup
Having the option of putting your dog in a stroller means you can bring him more places with you.
Locations that may not usually allow dogs may welcome a well-behaved one sitting quietly in a stroller. More outings together, more quality time together.
17. Take your dog to work day
Does your workplace have a “take your dog to work day?” Do you run your own business and make the rules?
Either way, having a stroller gives your dog a little den to rest in, and it’s much easier than dragging beds and blankets with you.
Throw a blanket in the stroller for extra padding, and you have a ready-made rest area.
Using your dog stroller will also make it easy to keep your dog safely contained while you focus on the task at hand, allowing you to still be productive during work hours.
18. Use it while visiting friends and family
If you’re visiting friends or family, especially if they have small children that are starting to annoy your dog, the stroller will serve as a nice little escape.
The same thing could be said for other dogs in the family that may sometimes be a little “too much” for your dog.
Avoid cutting family outings short by allowing your dog to walk as much as he can when you go out, then place him in the stroller to be wheeled the rest of the way.
19. Paw protection
Burning hot concrete around the pool – we’ve all experienced that pain! Imagine how your dog must feel walking on hot pavement.
What about salt on the sidewalks? Dogs living in colder climates like Canada face this struggle all winter.
Walking outdoors can cause a burning sensation on their paws from road salt.
Depending on the amount of snow on the ground and the type of stroller you buy, it may be a great solution. But stick to the cleared sidewalks and roadways to avoid getting stuck!
20. Evacuation in case of emergency
Whatever the emergency, if you find yourself in a situation where you must evacuate, putting your dog in a stroller may be the safest way to transport him.
This eliminates having to keep looking to ensure he’s with you and hasn’t gotten out of his collar because of the commotion.
Your stroller should have a clasp that hooks onto your dog’s collar or harness for added security.
If your stroller has a mesh panel attached to the sunshade, lower it and zip it all the way around so it’s secured to the stroller, and your dog cannot jump out if he gets anxious.
21. Shade from the sun
For those of us who have lived in tropical or semi-tropical climates, we know the rules about taking our dogs out early morning and later in the evening when it’s “cooler.”
Heatstroke is no laughing matter, and too much time spent outside in extreme temperatures can be dangerous.
Taking your dog out in a stroller to a shady location will allow him to get much-needed exercise but also get him out of the sun if it gets too much.
Conclusion: Should You Buy a Dog Stroller?
By now, I think you realize how much I love pet strollers and how much we have benefited from using one.
They are a great way to address mobility concerns in older dogs by allowing them to continue enjoying your family time, even if they can’t “keep up” the way they once did.
You can also use a stroller as a safe, secure way to transport your dog in busy, public settings.
I do want to make one quick mention. It’s always safer to keep a harness on your dog. when they are in the stroller, clip a leash onto the harness and hold it in your hand.
This way, if something does scare him or he doesn’t want to ride anymore, he can’t just jump out.
If you’ve been on the fence, I hope this list of reasons to buy a dog stroller has been an eye-opener and that you have seen just how beneficial one can be.
How to Comfort One Dog After the Death of Another
Hi Hindy, You give a tremendous amount of reasons to use a dog stroller and 21 reasons to buy to buy one. I nave thought about bringing my dog with me to a lot of place, mostly because he is too big.However there are a lot of older people who take their dogs everywhere. A dog stroller would solve off the problems while they are out and about, and at just about any event.
I sure does make it easy to transport the too. What a great article. Are there any places that you have found that still won’t let you in even if you have your pet in an enclosed stroller
Hi Debra, I surprised myself when I came up with so many uses for a pet stroller. I’ve only taken my dog into a few places, but I never had my stroller with me. I tend to use the stroller when I want to take a long walk along the beach in the summer with my husband and other other dog. I always ask before I bring her in, but when they see her size and that I’m carrying her no one says anything. Actually there’s a big outdoor event coming up, so weather permitting we’re all going and I’ll be taking the stroller on the bus, on the train… It will also be safer for my other dog in gets the crowds are too big and he gets a little anxious.
I love this website! I think way too many people forget that ageing in pets is just as tough for them as it is for humans. We really do need to take special care of them.
A dog stroller is an excellent idea for a senior dog. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Thanks Gary, glad you like it! I agree, I think many people just let older pets be, but forget that they can still go out for fresh air, need attention, grooming, mental stimulation. Everything younger dogs require, but adapted to their needs. I love the stroller I have, it does make things a lot easier. A small dog can still get heavy after carrying her for awhile.
I must admit when I first read the title dog strollers, I pretty much didn’t see the 21 reasons to buy one. I was lost in What!? a dog stroller? Then i was like 21 reasons, hmmm that’s a lot of reasons.
I would not have thought it reasonable to buy a dog stroller until I read through your reasoning, and now it makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Vic, I know what you mean! I was shocked when I reached 21, who knew there were so many uses. I disagree with people who use a stroller to show their dogs off. Dogs need to walk, but in many circumstances it is definitely the right thing to do.
I remember seeing dogs in strollers years ago and through it was a funny thing to see. I now know and understand that many that use as it’s their only way to get around. Some of these dogs have mobility issues or sight issues, yet they still enjoy getting out and being part outdoors.
Hi Kelly, I thought the same thing. I assumed it was just people spoiling their dogs, much like carrying them around or putting them in fancy bags. While that’s still true for some, now that I have a stroller I know it’s a lifesaver…helping arthritic or old dogs who can’t walk far, dogs recovering from surgery, or even to keep them safe in a crowd. You no longer have to leave your dog out of the family fun!
They do have many uses… we have never used one, as we have all medium to large breed dogs who wouldn’t really like them much. Although Tut is getting older and he might learn to chill…. someday.
Hi Nichole, they really are one of the best inventions for pets, things would be much more difficult for me if I didn’t have one. There are strollers advertised to accommodate dogs of up to 150 lbs so you never know… Hopefully you won’t have a need for one, at least not for a very long time!
All good reasons and a great post!
… but we are just not there. I have a 3.5 pound, quiet and still young (6 years) little dude. Strollers just seem like way WAY too much hassle. Putting him in my “city bag” or his favourite sling bag (like when we did a Segway tour with him in Budapest or took the subway with him in Vienna… or his airline approved carrier for our flights…) is still, for me, the easiest thing.
I just don’t see myself folding and unfolding the thing. I don’t see myself taking a stroller in and out of the car, plane, train… and it would never work for sailing. Not enough room to store one on! Maybe I am still just too minimalist…? or the time has not come for us yet.
and there is a risk. The stroller can stop activity because of its convenience. As in, muscle is built when there is muscle fatigue right? So to push a bit (not a lot!) is a good thing. I see young dogs, dying to get out and MOVE and they are in the stroller instead. I know not everyone does this but I admit I do find myself muttering “let the poor dog walk” more often than I would like to.
I do have a friend with a bigger pup (25-30 pounds) and he has a disability and it’s been great for him. It allows him to walk as long as he is able and wants to – but take breaks when he needs it. We went for a woodland stroll with him ands stroller and it was perfect for him.
It’s just really not for us. We are too fast, too often moving and … yeah just no appeal. Not for now! But great post and those are a lot of good reasons. I see my carrying my 3.5 pounds of pup as part of my workout if need be. I don’t have any health issues so that is likely why.
Hi Sonja, thanks for your comment. No, certainly doesn’t sound like it’s right for you. Folding and unfolding takes a couple of seconds, but I leave it open because I have to use it so often. It’s the greatest thing for legitimate uses, but I agree with you about stopping activity. It drives me crazy when I see people carrying or pushing dogs around because they think it’s cool. I also want to scream “let the dog walk.”
What a well thought out post! Some of these I hadn’t considered and since I have a German Shepherd, it’s not something I can do for him. But…much of it applies to cats, too. *s*
Thank you Amy. I have seen strollers advertised for weights up to 150lbs, but based on reviews, it’s an exaggeration. Making strollers for big dogs such as yours who may have arthritis, or difficulty walking as much as they used to, means being able to include them in family outings.
Wow! That’s a lot of reasons. I have seen these become more popular where I live in Southern California. I think I would look incredibly silly with my 100 pound Golden and 70 pound Doberman in a stroller for twins but they might really get a kick out of it. LOL!
Hi Susan, I wanted to come up with as many reasons as I could, to highlight just how helpful this product can be. I’d love to see a picture of that!
They really are a quality of life saver for senior dogs. I will definitely keep this in mind for mine as he gets older and for when I can get into hospice care work. Great post!
You’re right about that Amber.’
All very great reasons to buy a stroller, especially the emergency one.
Thanks Rachel.
Ya! Love love love pet strollers. Thanks for the great post and spreading the variety of ways a pet stroller is so helpful.
Thanks Tonya. Ever since I got one and realised how many ways it has helped not only my dogs, but me as well, I want everyone to know how helpful it can be for their dog (or cat).
Mr. N does not need one on a consistent basis (I’ve put him in one when we’re in really crowded areas) but I’m open to the idea of him having one when he loses mobility. I might add a disabled placard though!
They’re definitely a great safety measure for crowds, and I do like the idea of a disabled badge. Maybe I’ll look into making one for my stroller.
These are all very valid reasons for getting a pet stroller! I may get one myself for my senior dog Phoebe one day.
Love & biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Thanks Cathy. I’ll tell you the truth…once I got mine, I couldn’t understand why I waited so long.
Those are great reasons to get a pet stroller. I admit I thought it was hilarious the first time I saw a dog in a stroller, but I think they can be pretty useful in a lot of situations.
Thanks Beth, and I felt the same way – actually I thought it was cruel not letting their dogs walk. Some people still use them because they treat their dogs like babies, but for dogs who need them they are the greatest creation.
Some very good reasons- not sure if Kilo the Pug would enjoy but may test one. A lot of friends use for their small dogs at events- much safer.
You might be surprised how much he enjoys it. They are perfect when you’re going to be in big crowds, definitely a great way to keep the dogs safe.
I am having a lot of difficulty posting, but I hope this reaches you.
I love the stroller idea, it has not taken off in NZ as they are a bit behind the times with some pet ideas but for seniors and disabled pets, they rock!
I love the stroller idea as well, and they have been a big help when I want to take my old blind dog with me on outings. Now my other dog Jack has been recovering from spinal surgery, and it’s perfect for him as well. I live in England and I’ve seen maybe 2 in all the years I’ve been here. Enough people comment when they see me, so maybe they’ll catch on.
My dogs are a little bit too big to fit in a stroller, but it’s such a great idea if your dog is injured or just came out of surgery! I never thought about them that way!! Amy is only 3 years old and has HD, so I’m quite scared what the future might hold.. I’ll definitely keep this in mind!!
Hi Valerie, I don’t know how big your dogs are, but there are strollers that easily fit 80lb dogs. I’m sorry to hear that. What kind of treatment options have you been looking at? Has she been feeling the effects?
A Friends dog is paralyzed waist downwards and i know only too well how much Twinkle enjoys her stroller rides
I’m so glad to hear she still gets out and about, that’s the beauty of a stroller. Dogs don’t have to be stuck in the house, just because they have difficulty, or are unable to walk.
I’ve never thought about a stroller for dogs, but these reasons help to clarify. I’ve thought about a stroller for the girls.
I never thought about it either, until a few years ago. All I can say is I wish I had bought one sooner. The greatest product that has helped me so much with my dogs.
Such a wonderful article. I have a 13 yr old Yorkie who I recently had to purchase a pet stroller for even though we both did not want it. It was the realization of aging and the Vet insisted this is the best thing I could do. He had a torn ACL and also rotating Patella which is common for his breed. He loves to race the neighbors big, young dogs.Otherwise my beloved Yorkie is just as spunk and healthy as ever. He walks as far as he can on non concrete then I place him in the stroller until he gives me the sign he is ready to get back out.I eased him in to it following reviews from other buyers by letting him sit in the stroller around the house 1st. Also he loves when a “walk” is mentioned and he will also go get his leash if we don’t offer to take him out. I then placed the leash in the stroller to associate its part of the walk and a good thing.Please shop around as bigger and better quality strollers for the price are more plentiful online than high end pet boutiques.I hope people understand some pets are not in strollers for a fashion accessory but because they need it.
Hi Morgan, thanks so much for your wonderful comment, and especially for pointing out that many pets are in strollers because of need, not because they’re being used as a fashion accessory. I hope your pup recovers so he can carry on running with the big boys. Online really is the best place to buy for price and selection, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. If you’d like to send in a picture of your dog in the stroller, I’ll be happy to post it on my senior dog FB page.
My Dogger brand dog stroller has been wonderful for my senior and puppy mill rescue dogs.
Bubbles had cancer and passed away in July, but got to enjoy strolling along the river during the last few months of her life, when she became too weak to walk much. A trail she had loved and explored for her 13 years.
Lizzie is a puppy mill survivor who lived in a cage for 8+ years and developed arthritis in her shoulders and hips from no exercise or freedom all those years. She can’t walk more than 20 or 30 feet at a time and limps.
She loves her stroller! Gets so excited when it’s moved towards the door. She gets to be with us on the trails and have the wind blow through her long, Cavalier ears….. sniffing the fresh air.
Pet strollers are a god-send for infirm and senior, furry, family members and enable us to have a brisk walk.
I love it too!
That’s so wonderful to hear Linda. I’m sorry about Bubbles and happy you rescued a puppy mill dog. We had a survivor named Saffy who was also kept in a cage breeding for 8 years. I say the pet stroller has got to be one of the greatest inventions, and literally changes the lives of so many animals. Imagine how different things would have been for your sweethearts without being able to enjoy the outdoors. Thanks so much for sharing, I’m always happy to hear from another stroller user!!
Hi Hindy,
I’ve been reading everywhere about these dog strollers! For the most part, using strollers for injured dogs are fabulous ideas. There are many situations in which would call for one to use a stroller, but do you think it would be suitable to consistently use a stroller in all situations? You give quite a bit of reasons for why one ought to use a pet stroller, but I’d like to know some of the harmful reasons for using a stroller. I think it’s important to understand the effect of using a strollers from the opposing standpoint as I don’t think using a pet stroller is simple solution to fixing a dog problem and I’d love to have more in depth understanding of the situation.
Interesting question and you raise very good points about when a stroller should not be used. I don’t believe a stroller should be used to show off tiny little dogs people buy because they see minor celebrities carry them around in a purse. A dog is a dog not a doll, a toy or a fashion accessory. I also don’t believe a stroller should be used in place of treating mobility issues. For example, if a dog has arthritis and is in pain so he can’t walk, there’s nothing wrong with using a stroller to help, but not instead of treating the dog and getting him out of pain. It should never be used in place of exercise. I do advocate for strollers when a dog can’t walk too far and may need a break. I also think it’s a great way to include a dog who may otherwise be left at home. It is a tremendous help for anyone with a dog recovering from surgery or illness who is allowed out for a very short walk, but is bored to tears being stuck at home in a crate. Being able to get out and about, have a change of scenery, even see some old friends will help psychologically which in turn will help his physical recovery. This of course should only be done with the consent of the vet.
Great read. I have a number 22 . I have 3 dogs one full pug and 2 cross pugs. My full pug gets overheated very quick so I find a stroller brilliant, pop a cooling mat in, top up and he’s instantly cool. My shihtzu x pug has degenerative disc disease and after a while walking his back legs give way, prior to getting their stroller he would be begging me to carry him, hes a big lad and i also have a spinal disorder so carrying him was impossible, so again he will take a ride and then have a little walk, it also helps me with walking having something to lean on. My bichon x pug has more a longer snout and can walk for miles so doesn’t really go in it.
I think for brachaphelic dogs they’re ideal andcanactuwlly save them for heat stroke which ultimately could kill them. My dogs are all 2 and under so young dogs. I see nothing wrong with making their lives more comfortable,.
I sometimes get sniggers and laughs when people see them in it but once I explain why I use one, people normally think its a great idea . Most people smile and say what a great idea it is!
I love them, I wish more people would see the benefits of them rather than leaving their dog at home or walk a heavily panting dog.
I wouldn’t be without Mine and I can see it being a feature in our lives for a long time .
Glad you have such great uses for the stroller, I think it’s a marvelous invention. My husband loves using it because he likes people to see it, ask questions and hopefully realise their dogs don’t have to get left behind. Not only do we use it for our old dog but also when our younger one gets too hot or tired and needs a break. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
My 14 year old Maltese poodle was having seizures. You just never knew when was going to happen otherwise she is healthy and loves her walks. One of the best things I’ve ever done is buy her a stroller. I would carry a blanket with us so that if she did have a seizure I could protect her from the ground until it was over than take her home in the buggy. She has been seizure free now for 5 months and I still take the stroller with me on our walks just Incase she tires out and she absolutely loves it.
