How long is my pet able to stay in its cart?

Almost all animals will need some conditioning when first introduced to the cart. Begin with a short time interval, perhaps as little as 5 minutes, to test the animal’s strength. A long period of disability without exercise requires small increments of time in the cart in order to achieve physical conditioning. Once strength is obtained, there is no limit other than the owner’s schedule to monitor the pet. A pet's size plays a part in exercise time. Large animals require more attention, because exercise is limited to outside activity. Smaller animals can spend more time in their carts, because of the flexibility of both indoor and outdoor use. The smaller dog is capable of lying down on a pillow in the cart when tired (see photo gallery). Larger dogs are unable to do so comfortably; therefore they should be removed from their carts when fatigued. Occasionally large dogs will be able to lie down in the cart if a padded platform should be provided.
