Can anyone reccomend a dog carrier for a 10kg whippet? We love walking but sadly Smudge cant do the distance these days but wants to still be with us!

In the past when climbing hills and mountains in winter and/or with an older whippet we found a rucksack was the answer. Wrap the whippet in fleece to give comfort and slip into the rucksack. This way the dog can watch over your shoulder and you can tell if they are uncomfortable or they want to start walking again. They can be heavy but you soon adjust your pace to the extra weight being carried.

by: Judy Rognlien

I searched extensively and chose:
HPZ PET ROVER TITAN HD
Premium Super-Size Stroller SUV
$363.86

This stroller held senior whippet Francis with lots of room to spaare. We kept it in our living room because Francis loved to sleep in it - in addition to riding in it.
The stroller is easier to push and maneuver than my smaller all-terrain stroller.
Sorry I couldn't attach a photo.

My deep regard for you and your whippet.
