Canine influencers have it made.
Dachshunds have PR hauls, Italian Greyhounds are dressed up in custom knitted jumpers and attend fashion week and Chihuahuas sit smugly in thousand-pound designer handbags. And we can’t help but follow along for there is no end to the human obsession with dogs.
It was only a matter of time, considering, that fancy pet strollers entered the scene. The pet-friendly prams are used for precious pooches (and the occasional feline) so they can enjoy some grandiose city strolling. Typically used for smaller breeds, the vehicles have taken on a new social cachet, being paraded across TikTok, Instagram and in parks from Primrose Hill to Battersea for the world to see.
Love them or hate them, pet strollers seem to be here to stay. The influencer must-haves come in a range of shapes and sizes, which suit dogs of all shapes, ages and sizes.
Labrador owners may be rolling their eyes, but there are merits to owning a pet stroller. Firstly, they support ageing pups who can’t walk for extensive periods. Likewise, they are suitable for pups who are yet to have all their injections or dogs with ailments.

Secondly, many breeds simply refuse to walk - a fact that many Dachshund and Chihuahua owners will know all too well. For owners who have more than one dog or simply enjoy a long meander, a pet stroller can help you get moving when your dog doesn’t want to.
Thirdly, the vampy vehicles can provide shelter for dogs during high summer. Lisa Melvin, Head of Marketing at Webbox, says: “The summer weather brings a lot of fun, but the hotter weather can also bring with it worries over our dog’s wellbeing. The heat poses significant risks to all types of pets, especially those with thick fur or short noses. Some common risks include overheating, dehydration, burnt paws on hot pavements, and general discomfort from excess heat.” Using a pet stroller can prevent pups from experiencing painful paws and overheating while frolicking under the summer sun.
We’re forgetting the main reason why pet strollers are having a moment. They are utterly ridiculous, so naturally, we are obsessed.
