My dog buggy favorites:
The large dog buggy up to 20 kg test
Karlie Sport Buggy No Limit
The Karlie Sport Buggy No Limit comes in a modern, attractive design. The front of the cart is equipped with generous nets that give your dog a perfect view. Good ventilation is also a big advantage.
The back is also closed with nets, so you can watch your darling while driving. There is also a see-through skylight to look inside. The rest of the buggy is equipped with a special textile surface, the Teflon Fabric Protector. This material is dirt-repellent and easy-care, but still soft and comfortable for your dog.
If the weather is bad, you can seal the pram with the supplied rain cover so that your four-legged friend stays dry.
The three-wheel structure makes the sport buggy very manoeuvrable and easy to steer. A height-adjustable handle ensures that you can push the stroller in a comfortable, upright position without having to bend down or cramp. A handbrake, the possibility of folding the dog buggy and a shelf for shopping, dog toys or provisions round off the good overall package.
TOGfit Pet Roadster dog buggy
The modern dog buggy in a luxurious design offers your dog a lot of comfort. The integrated lying mat is very soft and is therefore also ideal for sick dogs that have problems with their joints. You can also wash the mat without any problems.
The large mesh inserts ensure good air circulation and offer your dog a nice view. In my experience, four-legged friends really love it when they can see as much of their environment as possible. If necessary, the canopy can be folded up – similar to a stroller – so that your darling can stick his head out.
It is particularly useful for the period of getting used to that the TOGfit Pet Roaster has two entrances – one at the front and one at the back. If your dog gets scared on the first ride, you don’t have to walk around the car first, you can take it out directly from your pushing position and calm it down.
There is a large storage area in the lower part of the trolley. So if you make a spontaneous stop at the supermarket, you can easily stow your purchases in the dog buggy.
Another convenience is that the dog buggy has a height-adjustable handle that you can adjust to your height in no time at all. If you are increasingly on uneven roads or forest paths, you will also appreciate the large wheels, which make it much easier to push.
Innopet pet buggy IPS-070
The IPS-070 pet buggy is an elegant stroller for walks or jogging units. A net and the hinged roof allow for good ventilation. Compared to other models, however, the nets are relatively small, but sufficient for your dog to observe the surroundings.
Inside, the buggy offers many extras that you won’t find in competing products. An integrated leash even for safety when driving – similar to the seat belt in a car. The cushion is non-slip, non-slip and water-repellent. So even if your darling gets in with dirty, wet paws, you can wash the pillow without any problems.
The two-legged friends are also taken care of. The soft push handle is very comfortable. Directly in front of it is a snack tray on which two cups can be placed. Ideal for coffee mugs or a refreshing drink after jogging. The large storage basket in the lower part of the buggy offers enough space for shopping or provisions on longer tours.
Pawhut Dog Trailer & Hunge Wagon
The Pawhut dog trailer convinces with a clever 2-in-1 design. It can be used both as a bicycle trailer and – by installing a front wheel that can be rotated 360 degrees – as a dog buggy for walking or jogging. This gives you a lot of flexibility and you don’t need to buy two different products.
The buggy is equipped with nets all around, which protect your dog from flies and other insects, guarantee good ventilation and provide a good view. Entry is via either the front or rear door.
The design isn’t as sleek as the other models in this review. Even in the buggy variant, it is more like a bicycle trailer than a pram for dogs. But this also has a decisive advantage, because the Pawhut dog trailer is built much lower. This allows your darling to get in alone. This is particularly practical for heavy, large dogs, as you can hardly put these four-legged friends in a high car on your own. The low design of Pawhut is also just right for dog owners with back problems.
The scope of delivery includes a rain cover as well as a universal coupling for the common bicycle models. Parking brakes on both sides, a seat belt and reflectors ensure safety while driving.
The rear axle is fully sprung, which makes the dog buggy also suitable for dogs with joint pain.
Pet Gear No-Zip Special Edition 3 Wheel Pet Stroller
The Pet Gear dog buggy is the buggy with the largest nets in our test. Your dog has the best view in this car. At the same time, this ensures good ventilation. In addition, the soft top can be opened completely.
The special feature of this model is that no zippers were installed. These are usually the buggies’ weak points, as the dogs can open them themselves. Pet Gear has therefore installed a click lock that securely locks the trolley and cannot be opened by the four-legged friends on their own. This means that outliers are also in good hands.
The brakes on the rear and the shock absorbers in the front ensure pleasant driving behavior. So your four-legged friend can sit comfortably even on uneven paths and is not shaken too much.
The two connected front wheels can be rotated and have an integrated wheel lock.
Purchase advice: dog buggy up to 20 kg
For whom is a dog buggy useful?
A dog buggy is particularly useful for puppies, old or sick dogs, because these four-legged friends can usually only walk short distances and need frequent breaks.
Puppies often don’t make it that far with their short legs and poor condition – especially if it’s a particularly small breed of dog. Older dogs no longer have the strength, may be unsteady on their feet or simply don’t feel like walking long distances anymore. And dogs with injuries, for example after an operation, and four-legged friends with joint problems cannot walk as they would like.
If you plan to hike or jog long distances, you can take your four-legged friend with you with a dog buggy without having to take frequent breaks. This way you can make better progress and your darling can still be there and doesn’t have to stay alone in the apartment.
What should I look out for before buying a dog buggy up to 20 kg?
Size
In order for your four-legged friend to feel comfortable in his dog buggy, he needs enough space. If he has to squeeze himself into the car, he will quickly become tired of excursions and that is not the point. After all, our dogs should always be happy.
That’s why you should pay attention to the right size when buying a dog buggy. Your dog should be able to fully stretch out when lying down. Standing and turning shouldn’t be a problem either. It is best to measure your darling generously beforehand and then look specifically for dog buggies that correspond to the measured size.
XXL models are of course suitable for large dog breeds.
If you have a smaller dog and want to save some money, a good alternative to a dog buggy is a dog backpack. With the backpack, you can take your darling with you almost anywhere, just on your back. 🙂
Construction
Most dog buggies look similar to a stroller. Due to different materials and designs, some models appear more appealing and modern than others. Of course, personal taste is crucial here. The best thing to do is just look at as many models as possible and then choose what you like best.
There are some four wheel models, but you will generally find more three wheel dog buggies. While four wheels provide more stability, three-wheel buggies are…
