 Price: $216.99(As of Wed, 10 Mar 2010) Common Opinion:  Product Overview and Summary Unlike other pet strollers which are simply converted baby strollers, the new HoundAbout Pet Strollers from Solvit are designed from the ground up with pets in mind. They are the roomiest and most comfortable designs available for medium, large, or multiple pets that need a little help getting around. Check out all these features! Customer Experience and Opinions Solvit Houndabout is awesome!, January 30 ,2010 Angela P. Douzart (Baton Rouge, LA United States) says: I ordered the large Solvit Houndabout from Amazon for my Labrador who had recently had a leg amputation due to bone cancer. He was getting around great, but I thought we could go on longer walks with the Houndabout; he could get in to rest, and get back out when ready to walk again. I received it next day! It was easy to assemble, and very high quality. Unfortunately, my dog succumbed to liver cancer, before ever having an opportunity to use the Houndabout. Amazon made the return process so easy, though. UPS picked it up, and my account was refunded within a couple of weeks. Though I never got to officially use the Houndabout, it is very high-quality and superbly designed. Perfect for elderly, ill, or arthritic dogs, or post-surgery, allowing them to still get around and enjoy life. I highly recommend it!
Good Solution for Older Dogs, January 12 ,2010 Tee (Miami, FL USA) informs us that: As our dog got older, he still loved his walks, but by the time we would just get TO the park, he was already tired from getting there. We used this to wheel him over to the park and then when we got there, let him out so he could sniff and stretch his legs. It took some convincing to get him to get in it, and he's always been really timid about uneven or unsure surfaces. This stroller could really use a more sturdy floor...ultimately, that's what caused us to stop using it. But, for a dog more sure on his feet, I still say this is one of a very few products that can help owners of larger dogs. Tons of products for small dogs are out there, but if you can easily pick up your little yorkie, why do you need additional transportation? With a 60+ pound dog who's starting to lose strength in his back legs, this turned out to be really our only option. It's well constructed (except for the flooring), easy to assemble, steering is precise. Beware, it does take up a ton of room to store when not in use...with that front wheel extending out, it's very long. A useful option would also be a pull out ramp from the back for the dogs to walk up to get into it.
perfect dog stroller!, November 06 ,2009 Holly Shea tells us: We looked for a few weeks to find a good deal on this stroller. We already knew it was the one we wanted based on its features -- sturdy construction, roomy enough to carry both of our 50 pound dogs, and big wheels for easy pushing. We were excited when we found it on amazon.com for about $100 less than we had originally seen it listed for on other sites. The item arrived quickly and took about 30 minutes to assemble. We have used it numerous times and it always meets our expectations. I especially like the little zipper compartments; I use them to hold keys, dog treats, leashes, etc. Also, the insulated water bottle holder is a great addition and I use it every time. The dogs quickly adapted to riding in the stroller. One dog is 10 years old and starting to have problems walking, but our other dog is only 1 year old and already has arthritis in most of her joints (both elbows, both knees, both hips). She can only walk for a few minutes at a time until the pain and discomfort becomes too great. I hated our walks being cut to 10 minutes so I couldn't wait to buy the stroller when we found it. Now, after 10 minutes, the little dog just hops right into the stroller and the other dog and I keep walking. If I walk more than 40 minutes or so, then the other dog hops in the stroller too. Now, I can keep walking for 1.5 hours or however long I want without having to return home because of the dogs. We all love this stroller and would highly recommend it!
