Does this work for older dog? I adopted an older dog about 10 shes about 55 pounds. She used to use to go bathroom in the run at the shelter but has never gone in the house. I have a balcony I can try it out on. I was hoping to keep it indoors while at...

My dog was 8 years old at the time I bought it. The problem I had was that my dog was so well trained she would only go outside, nowhere else, not even the patio, it had to be outside. So if your dog is the same way, you may have the same problem. I'm not sure what the "run" material is made of, but if it's anything other than real grass then this will probably work fine.

I used this with large dogs (90-110lbs) They kept pace with me instead of pulling ahead. I love this. It has helpded leash train my dogs without being pulled off my feet. They have never had a problem moving fast wearing it. but I am not a runner. Re your question. How large is your dog and how well does he/she pace you? This is a snug fit under the foot legs. Can recommend it for training a dog and causual walks. worth the money

Hello Nisha-I purchased this dog bunk bed last year for my dog (40 lbs). The bed comes with 2 mattresses and I put both on the top bunk for her, which was about 4 inches total in thickness. My concerns with your dog using it would be that the weight limit for the bunk bed is only 50 lbs. Also, with your dog having hip problems, there could be a challenge of them getting in and out due to the height of the top bunk. The bottom portion of the bunk would be too hard for the dog to get in and out of, for the openings are small. I can say this with confidence since I also have an 80 lb dog (lab/weimaraner mix) to compare size and function with. Hope this helps!

I have a small peekapoo/yorkie of about 5lbs. This is perfect for her. It sits about 5in. off the floor and has good support at the corners and some support on the underside. It should work fine for your puppy for quite some time.

My dog is 42 pounds and goes through it without any problem. However, she is long and lean. If your dog is heavier through the middle it might be a tight fit.

My dog is a Maltese, so she was not able to move it around. I also connected it to her crate, but I had to use the divider that came with her crate to close the opening on the top because her crate was not that tall. It works great for me, just make sure you connect the crate with no openings. I left an opening one day and she got out and had the entire house to herself.

Our dog is about 45 lbs, works for her. I would think it would work for a bigger dog as well.

Hello, my two dogs together weigh almost 35 pounds. I have a Pug and a mix Chihuahua Terrier. We put a matt inside to help the sagging underneath, this helped us. I feel this may not be large enough for your Labrador or hold her weight. With her having arthritis you would have to lift her in each time, the opening I feel is to small for a large dog to jump into. When I was shopping for a stroller I did see a few that do hold large dogs and they are lower to the ground. Good luck!

My senior pug weighs in at about 20 lbs and does just fine in it, she does like to sit up and look out as well. The stroller has been holding up just fine.

I have two 16 month old black labs (85 and 90 lbs). They have done fine in it. It does seem to feel more flimsy than our smaller ones but I think that is just because of the height of the kennel. The latch has to be secured with a wire though on the one we use all the time..they paw at it and have been known to get out. My metal tray (which is why we bought it) is about 2 inches shorter than what I think it should be. Had to anchor it so that the dogs could not paw at rug that was beneath it.

I have used our other trailer for our 50 lb dog. It works but the seat is not what the dog would prefer, she had to sit sideways because of the legroom in front of the seat. If you plan to use it for a dog exclusively I would buy a dog trailer or plan to modify this one with a floor of some kind.

I think this is the same trouble we had in determining specs. I believe we found somewhere that the model referenced holds up to 100 lbs but I may be remembering that wrong. Whatever it is, we knew our 65 lb lab would work. Now that we have the stroller, I believe a dog that weighed maybe 10-15 lbs more would be fine. There are two issues, size wise. One is that you have to be able to push and control the 40 lb stroller with the dog weight inside. We have a lot of hills, so it's a work out going up hill. The second issue is that the dog has to fit comfortably inside. Our dog likes lots of room to spread out and she is comfortable and cozy with not a whole lot of length remaining.

The dog I purchased mine for is a smaller dog, ~ 15 pounds. But it is much larger than what she needs. I think the size would be fine for your dog as well. I am very happy with the purchase of our piddle place. I think even the cats might be using it! My dog took to it pretty quickly. I placed it in the area she had been having her accidents and that seemed to help her transition to it. Hope that helps!

It worked great for my 10 year old dog...F.Y.I just had to place some scent on it to give him the right idea.good luck!

no. Unless there is a larger size. Mine is perfect for my 10 lb dog. I love this, I can move it around and take it out on tne balcony when I want to leave her outside.

We had older dogs so it proved hard to convince them to use it. Perhaps it's better for training puppies. Anyway, we did try absorbing some of their urine onto a paper towel and putting that in the drawer of the Pet Park so their scent would be there, and you know how dogs like to top the last dogs leavings. Gate them into an area with a tile floor and the Pet Park and when they have to go, they will hopefully use the Pet Park. Susan W had a great suggestion on how to train your dog. Make sure to read her comment.

I have a puppy that weighs 6lbs and will only get to 10-15lbs when grown and it fits her prefect now with room to grow. I had it out of the car yesterday and she was trying to get on the console so she could sit there it was really funny.
