HoundAbout Cat Strollers and Dog StrollersUnlike other cat strollers and dog 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. Their heavy duty frames and large, air-filled tires provide a smooth ride over most any terrain.

The HoundAbout provides therapeutic benefit to older, invalid or convalescing pets

Want to go on a walk or jog, but not sure your pet can make it all the way? Now they can come along and take a break whenever they need one.

The HoundAbout has an amazing list of features! There are four pockets, including a “parent pocket” for sunglasses, cell phone, music player, etc., an insulated water bottle pocket, a security pocket which can actually be locked, and a large storage pocket for treats, a leash, and more. Additional “parent” features include a convenient cup holder which can be mounted in several locations and a comfortable, cushioned handlebar.

The roomy cabin comes equipped with an adjustable leash and an overstuffed cushion which can be removed for washing. A zippered “sun roof” makes it easy to see and reach inside the cabin while strolling. Breathable mesh windows on all sides + weatherproof vinyl front door keep pets comfortable under a variety of conditions.

The large, swiveling front wheel makes the stroller a breeze to maneuver and for added versatility, it can be locked in position for jogging. Reflectors are included on all four sides of the stroller for added safety in low light conditions and a handy parking brake prevents unwanted rolling.

While at the park, pets can be leashed to the exterior leash point on the back of the stroller. Be sure and set the parking brake so they don’t wander off! When not in use, the HoundAbout folds down for easy storage.

The dimensions of the “cabin” on the Medium Stroller (available in Garnet Red only and shown above) are 26″ x 17″ x 20″, and the overall dimensions (including wheels and handlebar) are 50″ x 24″ x 41″. The rear wheels are 16″ and the front wheel is 12″ and the handlebar is 38″ above the ground. The medium stroller weighs 31 pounds.

Cat Harness

The comfy and safe way for Kitty to be outdoors with this Cat Harness 

The SmartCat harness has been specifically designed for comfort. While some harnesses connect the loops directly to one another in a “figure 8” style and tend to pinch your cat, the SmartCat harness has an extra piece of material connecting the two loops, providing more comfort for your cat.

  • Quick and easy to put on – No stress for kitty
  • Sturdy and adjustable
  • Light-weight and durable
  • Buckles snap together easily – No fuss
  • 4-foot leash
  • one size fits all cats up to 17.5″ around the chest

The SmartCat™ harness provides you and your cat a safe way to enjoy the great outdoors together. Your cat will benefit from a daily dose of fresh air and exercise. House cats especially need the mental stimulation of a jaunty walk outside.

Here are a few tips that might make a cat’s first harness encounter a little better:

  1. While you are inside, put the harness on your cat and adjust it. Be sure you are able to slide one finger between the harness and your cat.
  2. Right away, place a bowl of your cat’s favorite food or treat in front of him.
  3. After he has finished his dish, give him a few minutes and then remove the harness.
  4. Do the same thing the next day, except leave the harness on a little longer and add the lead.
  5. Continue doing step 4 until your cat is comfortable wearing the harness.
  6. Then take him outside to a quiet location.
  7. Don’t expect your cat to walk by your side. After all, he’s a cat! Let him take you for a walk.
  8. After you bring your cat back inside, remove the harness.

Pretty soon your cat will look forward to his outings.

Cat Beds

Author: PlatinumPetLover
cat bed funhouse

I bought a cat bed for my little snoofy cat Ella and ever since then our relationship has been so much better.  Every night she would curl in bed with me and by the time morning came around, it was impossible to get the cat hair out of the sheets.  Although I love her to death, and she is insanely cute, there are limits as to what I am willing to put up with.  My friend suggested shaving her, but there had to be a better way than that. 

 So for a little bit, I tried to discipline my Ella and she hardly liked that at all.  Now I just gently place her in the new little home and she just loves having her own space to be as comfortable as she wants.  I can even put her bed on mine if I want her to be close to me and still not get any cat hair on the furniture.  The cat bed that I got was an absolute life saver and I did not regret the decision.
