Cheap pet stroller in the uk

Options
Hi ,
Looking for a cheap petstroller .Ive never had one but i have a couple of dogs ( toy) and one is unable to walk long distances.
I want one that looks like a pet stroller rather than a pushchair .
Its to put my dog in when he is tired rather than carry him whilst walking my other dog .
Does anyone now anywhere where they are cheap. I have found them on ebay £50 plus delivery .I dont want to spend a lot as Ive never had one and may feel silly pushing it and end up carrying the dog instead.

    I couldn't see any for less than £45-50.

    What about a 4 wheeled shopping trolley?

    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2858566/Trail/searchtext%3ESHOPPING+TROLLEY.htm for £30.

    You won't look daft because people will think you're doing your shopping. And you could always cut a hole out the front and put in some heavy duty polythene so that the dog can see out.

    Hello,

    Although this has the handles of a push chair - its design clearly indicates that is is not:

    I just bought a second hand pushchair, one of my dogs struggles to keep up with the other, loves to go out but spoils the walk for the younger dog. I looked in all the pet shops and online and I thought it was a lot of money if she didn't like it. So I tried her in my neices buggy but she didn't sit properly because the base was too short. I realised she needed a lay back pushchair suitable from birth, the ones with a bar across the front so she can't fall out. We managed to get a pushchair from ebay local and collected it it cost £10.
    She loves it, she sits as proud as punch and people don't laugh, they usually stop us to ask what is wrong with her and can she walk,
    when she gets out for a run around I carry on walking with the pushchair and when she want's to go back in she stands and looks at me then the pushchair and I lift her in.
    The younger dog gets a proper walk, the older one gets to go with us and I have somewhere to put their water and doggie bags and if my young neices come they have to have it in turns at pushing Minnie or there are arguments.

    there is a lady where i live walks her dog in an old silver cross pram! No, I am not joking at all (there is even a facebook group for the called
    The dog that gets pushed along Doug prom in a pram)-maybe something similar would be an option?

    Ooh I'd love a coachbuilt silvercross pram to push little Minnie in but, apart from the fact my husband would kill me, they don't fold reasonably flat for storage and we keep one at home (that cost nothing,, because it was a family hand me down) and one at our Static Van on the East Coast.
