Bello

Bello makes pet strollers and travel accessories for dogs and cats — foldable carts that let a pet come along on errands, walks and vet trips without being carried or walked the whole way.

The range covers single and double strollers, detachable models where the carrier separates from the frame, and the mats, cushions and organiser bags that go with them.

What a pet stroller is actually for

• Senior and recovering pets — outings without the walking, for arthritic dogs or pets recovering from surgery
• Cats outdoors safely — an enclosed way for indoor cats to spend time outside
• Vet and grooming trips — easier than a carrier for larger or heavier pets
• Malls and public transport — many venues that refuse loose pets accept an enclosed stroller
• Hot pavement — keeping paws off surfaces that burn in Philippine afternoon heat

Worth knowing before you buy

Check the weight capacity against your pet, not their breed. Models range from small-pet carts to heavy-duty frames rated to 60lbs. A stroller loaded beyond its rating handles badly and wears out quickly.

Detachable models let the carrier lift off the frame and go straight into a car or a vet's consultation room, which saves transferring a stressed animal twice.

Heat is worth planning around. Mesh panels and a cooling mat make a real difference on an afternoon outing, and shaded routes matter more than stroller features.

All Bello products sold here carry a 1-year warranty and ship nationwide across the Philippines.
