Buying guides and care advice written for this range: what to measure, what matters and what to skip.
From our guides
This page narrows our dog strollers down to the sizes that suit small breeds: foldable three-wheel strollers with brakes and rubber wheels, four-wheel strollers with 360 degree front wheels, two-in-one models with a detachable carrier, one-hand fold designs and three-in-one double strollers. Many are rated for pets under about 28 lb. It is for toy and small breeds, seniors, puppies and dogs recovering from surgery.
Who a small dog stroller is for
A stroller is not about spoiling a dog. It lets a small dog come along on walks that are too long for short legs, rest partway through a hike, ride through crowds safely, or get out while recovering from surgery or injury. Senior dogs with arthritis or heart conditions often still love being out, even when they can only walk part of the way.
Puppies that are not yet fully vaccinated can see and hear the world from a stroller without walking on ground other dogs have used.
Three wheels or four
Three-wheel strollers have a single front wheel that swivels, which makes them easy to steer on trails and grass. Rubber wheels and a rear brake help on uneven paths. Four-wheel strollers are more stable on sidewalks, in stores and on public transit, and 360 degree front wheels give tight turns.
If you walk mostly on pavement, four wheels are fine. For parks and gravel trails, choose three larger wheels with rubber tires.
Sizing for small dogs
Check the weight limit first; many strollers here are rated for pets under about 28 lb. Then check the interior: your dog should be able to sit up, turn around and lie down. Measure your dog lying stretched out and compare with the compartment length.
Double strollers have room for two small dogs, or one small dog and a cat. A detachable carrier on two-in-one models lifts off the frame, so you can carry your dog into a store or vet clinic without waking them.
Safety features
Every stroller should have an internal safety tether. Clip it to your dog's harness, never the collar, and adjust it short enough that your dog cannot jump out. Keep the mesh canopy zipped in traffic and crowds, and always lock the brake when you stop.
Mesh panels on several sides keep air moving. Enclosed strollers warm up fast in sun, so walk in cooler hours, carry water and watch for heavy panting.
Getting your dog used to riding
Leave the stroller open at home with a familiar blanket and treats inside, and let your dog climb in. Zip it closed for a minute, then roll it slowly around the house before heading out. Keep first outings short and pleasant.
Most small dogs learn quickly that the stroller means outings. If your dog shakes, pants or cries in it, slow down the introduction, and talk to your vet if a senior dog seems uncomfortable or breathless.
What weight dog fits in a small dog stroller?
Many small dog strollers are rated for pets under about 28 lb. Check the listing and make sure your dog can sit and lie down inside.
Are 3 or 4 wheel dog strollers better?
Three wheels steer more easily on trails and grass; four wheels are more stable on sidewalks and in stores.
Can two small dogs share a stroller?
Yes, in a double stroller or one with a large compartment, if they get along and the combined weight is within the limit.
Why use a stroller for a small dog?
Strollers help small dogs on long walks, seniors with limited stamina, unvaccinated puppies and dogs recovering from surgery.
How do I stop my dog jumping out of a stroller?
Clip the internal tether to a harness, keep the canopy zipped and stop to lock the brake before opening it.
