I think a pet stroller is good for a dog that is unable to walk on it's own due to accident or illness.
It would be especially helpful for an elderly person who wants to take their dogs out that wouldn't otherwise be able to go outside.
It might be a good idea for a pet sitter, if they keep several little bitty dogs and want to get out and get fresh air, but are unable to control them, since several could fit inside a stroller.
I heard of a lady that likes to keep her little dog in a crate, but is unable to bend down that far, so she uses a pet stroller as a crate that sits much higher.

I saw one of these when I was out walking the other day. In the stroller was a very geriatric dog that couldn't walk far on his own. The lady had two other dogs that were on leashes and the older dog in the stroller. I think it was a neat idea that the older dog was able to enjoy the walk even though he wasn't walking.
In some cases, I think it's a neat idea...but that's all....otherwise, if a dog can walk...he needs to walk and get the exercise. I personally wouldn't waste the money on one of these, but then again, I don't have the need for one.

Well.. As someone who has Dobermans.. I find the stroller a silly idea.. My dogs came w/ legs, and well... They love to walk and run and play.. I couldn't take that away from them by strolling them around the park like a ridiculous baby... Dogs LOVE being dogs.. People often want to be dogs.. Why would you try to take the Dog out of your Dog, and turn him into a silly stroller riding little sucky???
I hope you don't plan on kitty litter box training him too???

I think they are pretty dumb, dogs love to be walked and should be walked. I don't see any reason why a dog should be carted around in a stroller. I suppose they would be good for dogs who have trouble walking but for a perfectly fine, healthy dog, it's just silly.

i am not sure what to think about them
i think dogs should walk so they can go "potty" or actually have some excersise but i think it's a good idea for dogs who are older or can't walk so well due to an injury but through the stroller they get to go outside.

pointless.. unless you have a dog that CANNOT walk due to an injury.. walking is good for them, and is part of what creates a bond with the owner.. those strollers are just wastes of money..

Now there is a dog that has an excuse.. and yet.. a little help and even he walks..

I'm all for treating your dogs like children - but really!! a stroller? isn't that taking it a bit far?
Unless your dog is very sick with arthritis I would think that it would be much healthier on it's own 4 feet

Dog were meant to roam freely if people put him in a stroller and walk him it could mess up the dog.

They are brilliant if you have a disabled dog that can;t walk so as he can get fresh air, but otherwise a total waste of money.
Babies go in strollers. Dogs walk!

Well, God gave dogs four legs and us only two. Seems they are more equipped to walk......Huh? I dont see the purpose of strolling a dog when it needs the exercise. Childish if you ask me.
