Events: Trying to control your pet on leash within a crowd of people is no simple task. It is difficult to keep your pet from getting wrapped around someone legs, stepped on, or quickly devouring the trash or food it finds on the ground. You will not have to worry about these challenges when your pet is in stroller and you may find that you are able to take your pet with you into places where pets are normally restricted.

Veterinary Visits: Pet strollers are great for transporting your dog or cat to the vet. You won't have to worry about coaxing your pet into the vet's office or protecting your pet from other animals that are sick, irritable, and potentially aggressive.
Prevents Paw Problems: Concrete can harm your pet's paws especially when it is hot. Trash on the sidewalk or road can also injure your pet's feet. A dog stroller keeps your pet's feet clean and protected from any roadside debris.

Injured or Old Pets: Injured or old pets that can not walk or can only walk limited distances need sunlight and fresh air just like we do. Dog strollers are great for getting your sick or old pet the outdoor diversion that it needs and deserves.

Easier to User than Pet Carriers: Many people prefer pet strollers over pet carriers since you don't have to lift and carry a pet stroller to transport your pet.

Protection from Aggressive Dogs: A pet stroller will protect your pet from other aggressive animals that are not on a leash.

Easy Travel: It is much easier to travel with your pet when you have a stroller. You can easily transport your pet from place to place without having to worry about it getting loose in a strange and potentially dangerous area.

Avoid Urban Traffic: Owners that live in big cities use strollers to keep their dogs or cats from running into traffic or getting wrapped around other people's legs.

Quality Time With Your Cat: Most cats don't like walking on a leash unless they are trained to use them as kittens. Cat strollers are a great way to spend time with your cat while you both get some fresh air outside.

Small Dogs: Very small dogs can't walk the same distances as larger dogs without becoming exhausted. Many owners find that they can walk with their small dog for longer distances if they use a pet stroller. This doesn't mean that the dog has to be in the stroller the whole time. You can walk your dog until it becomes tired and then stroll it for awhile until it is rested again.
