A photochrom from the late 19th century showing two peddlers selling milk from a dogcart near Brussels, Belgium.
A dogcart is a cart pulled by one or more dogs. The traditional varieties are rare:
- Dog carts pulled by a single dog were sometimes used by peddlers.
- Dog carts pulled by two or more dogs were historically used in Belgium and The Netherlands for delivering milk.[1] Dog-drawn carts were prohibited in Britain in the early 1900s on animal welfare grounds, but some still exist (mainly for reasons of novelty) in France and Belgium for delivering churns of milk from small farms to the dairy.
The modern-day sport of carting is an entertainment involving large dogs pulling dog carts. Compare dog sled (pulled by a team).
