Product Information

Dog scootering is both a recreational and competitive sport. There are many dog scootering competitions and races that you can participate in, as you get more experienced and involved with the sport. Why should you try dog scootering?

When you’re scootering, you need to be careful about preventing your dog from overheating or becoming dehydrated. You should always carry water and a water bowl. If you’re going on a longer adventure, stop regularly for breaks to let your dog drink, rest, and cool down! Basic dog scootering commands Scootering with a dog in the winter

What our customers are saying

You shouldn’t go scootering with a dog that is too young or old. Puppies are still growing until they are at least one to two years old, depending on the breed. You shouldn’t run puppies before their bodies have finished developing.

If you’re worried about falling, you can also wear other safety gear, like gloves, elbow pads, and kneepads. This protective gear is optional but will protect your body if you fall.If your adult dog is unfamiliar with mobility devices, they must be desensitised to them first, or they may feel frightened. Leave the mobility device close to your dog so they can get used to it slowly. Over time, try sitting in the wheelchair or mobility scooter while your dog is nearby before moving around. The time it takes for your dog to get used to the device can vary. Take it slow, and only move on to the next step when your dog is comfortable doing so.
