Pet Gear AT3 All-Terrain Pet Stroller for cats and dogs up to 60-pounds, Red Poppy


Broadens My Two Kitties Horizon
I purchased this for my two cats because they seemed bored being cooped up in the house all day and needed something other than my daily play sessions with them. I love the stroller, although one of my cats hasn't gotten use to it yet. The fat one didn't want to come out after I took him home.

I gave the unit a 4 because of the second Con and the fact that the first unit was defective due to how tightly they design the front.

Pros:
- Excellent size for two cats (one fat one and one normal size) - you can probably even get three normal-sized cats in it comfortably

- It's so easy to push, pull, and go up and down stairs with (I live on the 2nd floor) - there is a certain "give" in the wheels when going up and down stairs as if the unit had shocks - a very nice feature and feel.

- Has ample storage - tray holder, the under cab pocket, and the tray on the bottom under this pocket

- Ride is very smooth

- It's nice...
Great Pet Stroller
I just purchased the Pet Gear All Terrain Pet Stroller. I previously though that pet strollers were really silly products, but when I purchased a new puppy, I realized that I needed a stroller that would allow me to take the puppy along while I exercised my other dog. I highly recommend this stroller, the large wheels which easily turn in all directions makes it easy to manage one dog and the stroller. The entire unit moves across sidewalks and grass very smoothly so that jogging with any dog under 50 lbs is easy.The design has large compartments for water bottles, pets dishes and food, in addition to any articles that I want to take to the park. In addition, the pet compartment is roomy and well ventilated and has additional weather protection covers. My puppy could see everything through the large front and back panels and play with her toys. The only disadvantage is its size when folded. The stroller collapses and has good brakes, but the front wheel prevents the unit from...
We LOVE this thing!
I bought this for my beagle (show puppy), as we go to a lot of shows and when on the road, we like to go places... Well, it is so great that I now use it at the show too--we put his grooming equipment in the bottom tray, and he stands in the bed while I get him ready. Before and after the class, he just sleeps in his bed. So simple! I used to be the only one there with one of these, but now after a few shows, others are catching on, too.
My kids say that this stroller is better than the one I had for them when they were babies--and they are right. This is stable, easy to steer, etc.
Oh, and when I get another show beagle, she will fit in, too. Such a deal!
(Oh, and I paid full price for mine, so the Friday sale price is amazing!!!)

Pet Gear Sport Pet Stroller for Cats and Dogs Upto 20-Pound, Sport Pink


Not for serious fast walkers
Hi, I bought this stroller to take my blind kitty for walks. The speed I walk is limited by my feet hitting the bottom back bar if I go too fast. Right now, I have to go slow, so it is fine. Everything else about it is great. She loves it!
Very Disappointing!
I am VERY disappointed with this stroller. The stroller itself was very good for my needs but shortly after a few uses it began to fray along the zipper line and split in several places. I was told this is "normal wear and tear". I have the stroller only 8 months and only use it 2 or 3 times per month. I took photos and sent them to the manufacturer. I was told that if I wanted to buy a new one I could have free shipping...NO THANKS!!!
Beautiful stroller - Incorrect dimensions
The stroller is beautiful and appears to be well made. However, the dimensions listed are not correct. Dimensions listed say "Interior dimensions are 25 by 16 by 34-inch, for pets up to 20-pound." However when I received the stroller the interior was not large enough for my 8 lb cat. I checked the manufacturer's website (Pet Gear) and the dimensions they list are "22"L x 11"W x 16"H" which appeared to be accurate. Unfortunately I had to return this stroller. Bottomline, this is a beautiful stroller for a very small animal.

I ordered the "Special Edition Pet Stroller in Raspberry" (also by Pet Gear) which did fit my 8 lb cat, although it too is not very large at all.

Guardian Gear Nylon Classic Dog Car Seat Cover, 63-Inch, Black


Pro's and Cons
I bought this item for my Great Pyrenees/ Anatolian Shepherd who is about 100 pounds. I am using it in my 2010 Toyota Tundra Crewmax.

Pros:
Fits the back seat perfectly. There is no access hanging over the sies of the seat at each door but it does fit and does the job. After driving for hours with my dog I can see the particles from the bones and his hair. That is what would have been on my seat! So I am pleased with it. It is machine washable and real easy to take off and on. Has a zipper on one side of it which is convient since I have a 4 year old girl. I am able to unzip one size and put her car seat in without having to take the whole thing off.

Cons:
It comes with bungie cords that hook to some of the wholes. These bungie cords provide a little too much tension adn are wripping the holes. Thanksfully it is real strong on the outside layer and have not wripped through. But the little holes are now a tad stretched.

I would recommed this...
Works Great
This seat cover is just what I needed. It keeps my puppy in the back seat, keeps my seats clean, and prevents him from falling onto the floor if I should have to suddenly hit the brakes. It makes him his own little ceiling-less 'kennel' in the back seat. Pretty cool. I did have to add a couple bungees of my own, so it would be better if it came with more of those. But very happy.
Well made.
Thick and padded cover that has a nice durability and resistance to dirt. Easy to assemble. Would recommend others to buy it.

Guardian Gear Nylon Lift and Lead 4-In-1 Dog Harness, Small, Blue


Great Harness
I purchased this harness for use after our dog had TPLO surgery. She is a 90 lb lab/shepherd. The design of the harness is great for lifting her in and out of the car, down stairs, etc. while post-op. I especially like the handle on the back of the harness for quick control of our dog. I continue to use the harness because it fits well and the soft lining is warm and cozy for her. Our dog loves the harness and I really think it works much like a "thunder shirt" and calms her. I would recommend this harness to anyone looking for post-surgery support and for anyone interested in a comfortable walking harness for their dog. The price was a winner too!
EXCELLENT ITEM!!!!
I have large 15 year old collie shephard mix who has a very bad hind leg. Sometimes it does not support him at all and because he has a hard time lifting it, he drags it scratching the top of his nails. I have tried many expensive slings and other types of leashes where the back end would be supported in a comfortable way but none worked for me in the way that this did. My dog is a male, this can be positioned so he can "Tinkle" and not have it get in the way, (its also washable and dries fast). The pieces that support the dog are padded so they do not dig into his skin, its easy to put on and take off. You do not break your back trying to support your dog, the straps are long enough to stand straight when you walk with him or her and the design makes it easy to guide your dog in the right direction. Last, you can remove the back part and just use the front halter which is nice and strong when your dog does not need to be supported any longer. For me, I think my dog will always need...
Not for my dog
This may be a great product, but it really didn't work for my 75 lb. Belgian Shepherd. She has DM (Degenerative Myelopathy) and has trouble with her hind legs. This harness didn't really do much to help me control her back legs. I returned it and am trying the rear harness from the Walkin' Wheels brand.

Guardian Gear 12-Inch Nylon 3-Way Medium Dog Coupler with Nickel Plated Swivel Clip, Red


easy to use
i just used this today. i walked my three dogs to the mailbox and back. it worked great. the only problem i had was i have two dachshunds and a toy poodle and the dachshunds are in the lead and the toy poodle is expected to keep up and she had a little struggle with it so i made it a short walk. this is not the couplers fault. so when you use this coupler, it's probably best to use three dogs or cats of the same size.
Good Lead!
I could not find a three way lead anywhere else. It is great quality & strong for my large dogs @ 120# each. I love it thanks! P.S. it works well with three different size dogs also ie: Giant Schnauzer & Yorkie & Queensland Heeler all at once. Quite the muttly crew!
Great product
I am actually using these 3-way for my two dogs, where the third coupler goes on my belt. It provides me walking with hands free with my dogs!

No complaints. well made and does what it is suppose to. I have a lab mix, that is a bit of a puller and the leash shows no signs of wear.

Pet Gear Ultra-Lite Pet Stroller for cats and dogs up to 20-pounds, Ice Blue


not so good
I am amending my review now that I have used it a few times. This stroller would not fit a 20lb dog! My dog is 10lb and barely fits! The wheels constantly get stuck now that I have used it a few times - haven't used it that many times as it is in our vacation home. On the plus side, she can see out of all the mesh windows. Pet Gear has a much better Stroller (more money but worth it) with three wheels (get the one where the wheel in the front moves - you can also lock in place for jogging)
If YOU need exercise this stroller is just the ticket to get you moving and motivated!
If you have been sitting too long with your lap dog and are a tad overweight, this pet stroller will be just the ticket to get you moving and motivated. In some areas it is difficult to walk a small dog because every now and then they fall prey to larger, unleashed dogs. The second day I had Liam dog out in this stroller we did meet up with one. He was securely zippered in and very safe and not vulnerable to attack.

The assembly was very easy, but it was a bit difficult to put the cotter pin in because the axle is black. I bent the pin out ever so slightly and used needle nose pliers to hold it when inserting it in the tiny axle hole. The stroller is very light weight and on uneven surfaces it has a tendency to rock back and forth a tad, but this doesn't bother me. The inside surface of the stroller is firm and quite slick and the first time I took Liam out he was nervous and braced himself. The second time I put a lightweight sweater inside and now he can easily...
Very unhappy
I just got your pet stroller and threw the box away, so I can't send the stroller back and I don't have an address. The wheels are hard to turn, it's very hard to fold up and it doesn't lay flat when the dog is in it. He only weighs 4 lbs. and he slides to the front. I'm so sorry I bought it.It's 4 inches lower in the front ,than in the back. Very cheaply made.

Three Dogs one leash makes walking easier
Now I don't get wrapped up in three leashes. the only problem is the Dogs braid the Coupler. Still works

Guardian Gear Nylon 2-Way Large Dog Coupler with Nickel Plated Swivel Clip, 24-Inch, Mailbu Blue


better for bigger dogs
Got it for my small dog and a puppy. They ended up strangling each other and getting tangled etc. I returned it. Would be better for 2 larger dogs same size.
well made
This is such a great product. I wish I had bought this 5 years ago for my 2 small pups.
I have a chinese crested 16 lbs and a yorkie 9 lbs. The crested is taller so we run into the issue of him peeing on the yorkie.
They do SO much better on their walks with the stroller and they don't get all tangled up.
The only thing is the metal latches are really heavy for them and it's a bit long so when they walk next to me it hangs down and sometimes drags on the ground. But I ordered the 12 inch to give them room to pee
Product size description was misleading.
I have 2 shih tzu / maltise dogs and was looking for a lead for dogs up to 14 lbs. this lead is definatly for bigger dogs. I inquired about an exchange and the email responce i received was disapointing.
I was required to pay return shipping & a 15% restock fee! For a $6 lead?? No way. In my opinion it was easier to go to my local pet store and do a trial & error with my dogs and get the right one. I did pay more.. $10. But now I have to give this lead away. so my total cost was $16.
Some things are better purchased in person.

Guardian Gear 12-Inch Nylon 3-Way Medium Dog Coupler with Nickel Plated Swivel Clip, Sparkling Grape


Makes a multiple dog walk SO much easier!
I use a disability scooter to walk my dogs. I have a bluetick coonhound, a yellow lab mix, a schipperke mix, and a boston terrier. The boston terrier is easy and can be leashed on my right wrist, where I control the scooter. The other 3 (2 of which are over 60 pounds) go on this triple leash in my left hand. It makes a 4-dog walk a real pleasure. Initially, it took about 5 minutes of pulling and annoying behavior at the beginning of the first walk for the 3-dog combo to get into the scheme of things. Then it was pure pleasure for them and for me. If you have 3 dogs, even if you are disabled, this will make your and their lives definitely better!
keeping your multiple dogs by your side
It's the best thing for rounding up 3 medium sized dogs at once by your side.
It beats using 3 long leashes that can get all twisted around you when they stop to do their business or try to go separate directions.
The variety of colors was great.
3 girls on the go!
Great product!!Just what i was looking for,for my 3 toy poodles.Taking them for walks is soo much easier with this coupler.Although it does take the dogs a little time to figure out how to work together (about 3 days for my girls but i think it depends on how often you use it).The size is perfect for "toys" but you will need a longer one for larger dogs.

Guardian Gear Medium Gold Snake Dog Chain, 20-Inch


Guardian gear medium dog collar
I found this collar to be extremely thin for a medium. I did not feel I could trust that my. Dog pulling woul not break the collar.
exc
Everything was great. Excelent condition of the item, great service in everything, really satisfied with my purchase. Thank you very much for everything.
Nice Show Type Choke Collar
Just like the expensive ones purchased at dog shows. Medium weight but strong and attractive. Lovely gold color. Good functional show collar for purposes in which you really want your canine pal to "shine!" Maybe not the ideal walking collar as it is a choke collar unless you have a very well trained dog that won't pull against it.

Guardian Gear Nylon 2-Way Medium Dog Coupler with Nickel Plated Swivel Clip, 12-Inch, Electric Lime


perfect for our 2 labs
This is a great leash. The handle has a soft velour on the inside so it's comfy to hold. The straps are thick but light and the clips are wonderful. The open up in the middle like a clamp so they are easy to get on the collar or harness. The slides to adjust the length are great too. They are the kind that you lift the metal flap and slide the strap through so you can do it with one hand if you needed to. The thing I like about htis more than the coupler you add to your own leash is that by having it all in one (think of the letter Y) it feels more sturdy.
Great for Large dogs!
We have 3 large dogs and it works great!! Its the right distance between the dogs. great buy overall and would do it again!
Too small
I have 2 small dogs but this is still too small for my shihtzus. They bump into each other a lot. I am going to try it hooking it to a harnass instead of their collars.

Guardian Gear Nylon 2-Way Small Dog Coupler with Nickel Plated Swivel Clip, 4-Inch, Flamingo Pink


Small
it seemed to small for what I wanted to use it for, but I have found another use for it.
Mushing puppies
What can be funner then walking three Doxies with two of these? I bought the shorter one first and they tended to drag eachother to much so I bought this bigger one then hooked the small one in the middle and now have a pack of puppies looping down the sidewalk in joy. Even my 11 year old Pittie seams to be entertained by the sight.
Made well, but dog chewed through it
I bought this to secure my dog in her stroller, as she chewed the other restraint that came with it. Needless to say, she chewed through this as well. But the product is very nice and the color is great.

Guardian Gear Nylon 2-Way Large Dog Coupler with Nickel Plated Swivel Clip, 24-Inch, Blue


Nice addition for walking two dogs on one leash
This particular coupler is not very heavy duty. The nylon is thinner and the clips are smaller, but it is very strong. I have two large dogs, and this holds them very well. I find the two dogs coupled will often spend some of there energy pulling against each other, and not pulling you. This makes it easier to walk them. I should have gotten one of these long ago.
OK
not wide enough for two small dogs unless you allow them to pee on one another, works ok for short walks
bought for 2 small dogs
I bought this for our two small dogs and my only concern was that the buckles may be too heavy but the are just fine with the weight. Has made walking much more enjoyable not juggleing 2 leashes.

Guardian Gear Nylon Car Dog Harness, Small/Medium, Black


Every car-riding dog needs this - owners too!
This helps keep your pet safe in those sudden driving moments and also keeps the pet in the back seat instead of trying to climb up front with the driver. The material is like that of genuine human safety seats and we enjoy using the harness aspect independently when we walk our dogs. There is a metal loop for leash clips to latch on to. When we are done with our walks, the dogs are just unclipped from the walking leash and clipped to the short length of leash that remains attached to the seat buckle and viola! They are safely buckled in!
VERY NICE
I bought 2 of these, a large for my 65+pound pit and a XL for my 85pound pit. put them in the backseat of my car and it works very well, i set it the the shortest possible leash because they have a urge to either put there head in the middle of jump on the floor. works good, felt very secured, and the front part of the harness that straps to the chest all the way down is comfortable for them so it leaves no marks. great product. great price.
Bulldog/Pitt Bull mix
Our rescue dog loves to see the harness coming out. I walk him with it and he rides in the car with it. He is around 95# and I think I could have ordered a large as I have this one adjusted quite a bit. At the time I ordered it, he was 85# and I was told he may get to over 100#. So all in all it was a good buy. Have had this for 4 months.

Pet Gear Travel Lite Pet Stroller for cats and dogs up to 15-pounds, Pink


GREAT BARGIN
This really works well for our Yorkie. She loves it. She has a bad left back leg and has a hard time walking very far but loves to be outside and go with me(hates being left behind)
I had priced the exact same item(different brand name)in other catalogs for as much as nearly double the price plus shipping!
Seems to be well made and navigates the sidewalks very well. Good visibility for the pet with either the top open or closed.
I would venture to guess 20lb or less animal though.
The comments about the short handles ar accurate but for the quality and price I think you can deal with that.
Pet Stroller Breath of Fresh Air
This stroller is wonderful. The color is a good one for walking at night. It is especially good for someone of petite stature. The handles do not adjust. Anyone over 5'5" will find they have to bend over to hold the handles and push. Otherwise it is great my cat absolutely loves it. I unfold it and he hopes right in.
Stroller :(
Stroller arrived with dirty spots on canopy. Stroller is VERY short, I'm only 5'6" and it is really hard to push without hitting your feet on the wheels. It is nearly impossible for my 6' husband to push. Stoller has NO LATCH to keep it together when folded, so it comes open when you're trying to carry it. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND, wish we had purchased a better stroller..........

Guardian Gear 12-Inch Nylon 3-Way Medium Dog Coupler with Nickel Plated Swivel Clip, Black


Needs swivels on each end!
I have been walking my two pugs on a 2-lead coupler similar to this for some time now. They got used to the coupler quickly and couldnt tangle the leads thanks to the swivel on the end of the leash. We recently expanded our pug family and adopted a puppy. I ordered this thinking it would be the ideal solution to adding a third dog to the leash, but it didnt work out as expected. While the three pugs adapted to walking in close proximity to each other, they are still dogs. This 3-lead coupler gets twisted up pretty quickly on our walks, and I often have to stop, unclip the leash and pull the twists out of the coupler. A simple swivel on the end of each lead where they connect to the ring would make this item perfect! It would be self-untangling and the dogs and I could enjoy our walks without having to stop every 3 minutes to get the coupler untwisted.
needs more engineering
Unless your 3 dogs are very sedate and will walk side by side without being "dogs", you will find this gets very twisted and tangled all around their legs. I guess it is better than nothing for some occasional use, but I don't have the patience. There are so many dog product companies out there...how is it that not one of them can design a way to walk three dogs on one leash?
Hope to lead 3 huskies with it this winter
I got this to experiment with three huskies being hooked up as a sled team. It seems to work after they stop trying to wrestle each other because they are in such close proximity but once we get some momentum going it is great. Just be sure to watch out for potty breaks because they other dogs don't tend to notice.

Large Dog Chain
Works great for walking Great Danes on leash. Less expensive than pet stores. I would recommend this product to anyone with large dogs.
Love it.
Love it so much I'll be buying more - want a gold one and another silver one a little bit longer.
Just Like Dog Show Equipment
Just like the expensive ones purchased at dog shows. Very thin, lightweight and attractive. Lovely silver color. Good functional show collar for purposes in which you really want your canine pal to "shine!" Maybe not the ideal walking collar as it is a choke collar unless you have a very well trained dog that won't pull against it.

Guardian Gear Vinyl Dog Rain Jacket with Reflective Strip, Medium, Orange


good doggie rain jacket
The Guardian Gear Vinyl Dog Rain Jacket with Reflective Strip is a good product. The sizing chart was very hard to locate online and I couldn't find it with the Amazon.com listing of this jacket but once I found the chart, I determined which size my dog needed. Once I received the rain jacket I put it on my Smooth Collie. I found that the chest sizing wasn't accurate on the chart. The jacket's chest strap is way too long for the sewn on velcro stips to latch together. So I have to improvise and make the chest strap loop around in order for the velcro stip to latch together properly. The rain jacket itself is of good vinyl quality. It is sewn together nicely. And it comes with a little hood. But this hood is too little and short to fit over a larger dog's head, like my Collie. So it basically sits at the back of her head and ears. The back/rear part of the rain jacket sits about a few inches away from the end of her back, so if it is raining, her tail end will get wet. But...
Okay, with modification.
My dog is a very large German Shepherd. It's well made. I should have bought a size smaller but the directions to measure my dog were misleading so it's too big. The hood does not work - because it doesn't reach high enough. The length is longer than I anticipated. I measured my dog carefully. The velcro for the belt doesn't go back far enough so I had to attach some to make it fit. My dog doesn't mind wearing it in spite of the elastics that go under his back legs.
Dog rain jacket
The medium size fits well for my 20 lb dog, except that the hood doesn't cover enough of his head. The hole for the leash is kind of far down the back, so it works well using our dog harness, but then the hood isn't far enough up to cover his head much. (But maybe my dog wouldn't like his head covered anyways.) My dog also has a long curly tail which curls up, not down, so the jacket doesn't cover over it, nor his bottom. But it is so rainy here that we needed this jacket even just to keep his back and shoulders dry.
