Meet Phoebe, a 14-year-old senior dog who found a new way to enjoy outdoor adventures with her PawHut pet stroller. See how her new wheels help her stay active, comfortable, and part of every family adventure.
A real story shared by Kellyanne Clover from @peggy_the_staffy & @double_trouble_clover_dui
At 14 years young, Phoebe is still full of curiosity and adventure...
If you’ve been following our adventures for a while, you’ll know that little Phoebe is officially 14 years young. 🥹💕
And while she may still have the attitude of a puppy, her body is starting to remind us that she’s definitely earned her senior-dog status!
Phoebe is now going blind, is slightly deaf (or, as we like to call it, has developed selective hearing 😂), and her back legs are becoming increasingly weak. Over the past few months, walks have become much harder for her. She used to happily come along for our 45-minute-plus adventures, but these days she can manage around 15–20 minutes before her legs start to wobble and give way.
The hardest part was watching her miss out on our field adventures. 💔
We’d arrive at the fields and, by the time we got there, Phoebe had already used so much energy just getting around that she was exhausted. She still wanted to be part of the fun, but her little legs just weren’t always up for it.
Enter… Phoebe’s chariot. 👑🐶
We were absolutely thrilled when PawHut kindly gifted us their EasyFold Trail Pet Stroller, and honestly… it has been a complete game changer!
Now Phoebe can ride to the fields in style, saving all those precious little leg muscles for actually enjoying herself once we get there. 🥰
Once we arrive, she can hop out and have a little wander around at her own pace, sniff all the important smells, investigate what everyone else is doing and generally pretend she’s still a young whippersnapper. 😂
And when her legs start getting tired?
Straight back into the stroller she goes! 🛒🐾
She can have a rest, enjoy the scenery and then get back out again when she feels ready. It means she gets to be included in our walks without having to push herself beyond what her body can comfortably manage.
And the best part?
It’s big enough for Prue to squeeze in with her too! 😂
Because obviously one pensioner in a luxury chariot wasn't enough. Prue saw the new wheels and apparently decided this was now a two-dog chauffeur service.
The PawHut stroller has been designed with adventures in mind, with three large rubber wheels that are suitable for different terrains, making it particularly useful for our trips to the fields and parks. The front wheel can also be locked for extra control.
It has a soft, removable and washable cushion, which is VERY important when your passengers include muddy dogs who believe personal hygiene is optional. 😂
There’s also an adjustable canopy, safety tethers inside, reflective strips and a rear footbrake, giving us peace of mind while Phoebe is cruising around.
And because apparently senior dogs need luggage too, there’s plenty of storage underneath and pockets at the back for all the essentials. Treats, poo bags, leads… basically everything required for a five-star dog outing. 🐾😂
It also folds down easily, making it much easier to pop in the car when we're heading out on an adventure.
PawHut says this particular stroller is suitable for small and medium dogs up to 43cm in length and 20kg, and specifically highlights it as being suitable for senior pets or pets who tire easily — which makes it a pretty perfect match for our little Phoebe. 💚
🥹 More adventures for our old girl
At 14, we know Phoebe isn't going to be running around fields for an hour like she once did.
And that's okay.
We're learning to adapt our adventures around her, rather than expecting her to keep up with everyone else.
The stroller means she can still come along, still experience all the smells and sights, still have her little wanders and, most importantly, still be part of the gang.
Because getting older shouldn't mean missing out on all the fun. ❤️
And judging by the fact that Phoebe is 1000000% happy with her new wheels, we think she agrees!
She has officially entered her “I'm not walking, darling. I have people for that” era. 👑😂
A HUGE thank you to PawHut for gifting Phoebe her brand-new chariot and allowing our little old lady to keep enjoying her adventures with us. 💚🐾
