A pet stroller takes older dogs, small breeds, cats or recovering pets out for fresh air and exercise without the wear on their joints — or your arms. Our range covers 3-wheel and 4-wheel pet strollers, foldable travel strollers, jogger-style pet strollers, double pet strollers for multi-pet households, and convertible carrier-stroller combinations. Over 30 pet stroller options in stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, from $80 compact foldable strollers to $300 jogger-style strollers. Most orders dispatch within 1–2 business days.
When does a pet need a stroller?
Four situations make a stroller worth the investment. First, senior dogs with arthritis or hip issues — the stroller lets them enjoy outings without the joint pain of walking long distances. Second, small breeds like Chihuahuas, Pomeranians and Yorkies that struggle with longer walks in heat or cold. Third, post-surgery or recovering pets that need fresh air but not exercise. Fourth, multi-pet households where one dog walks faster than another — the slower or smaller dog rides while the faster one walks. Cats also benefit from strollers if they're indoor cats who want safe outdoor exposure.

What size pet stroller does my pet need?
Check the weight limit and the cabin dimensions. Most strollers handle 10–20kg, with jogger styles going up to 25kg. The cabin should let the pet stand fully, turn around, and sit comfortably. A 5kg cat fits in almost any pet stroller; a 15kg Cavoodle needs a medium-large cabin; a 25kg older Labrador needs a large stroller and may push the upper weight limit. Avoid maxing out the weight limit — a stroller rated to 20kg with a 19kg dog inside is hard to push uphill and stresses the joints. Aim for 70–80% of the rated weight limit for comfortable pushing.
Quick buyer's checklist
-
Weight limit: Match to pet weight with margin (aim for 70–80% of limit)
-
Wheel size: Larger wheels handle bumps and gravel better
-
Brake: Rear-wheel parking brake for stops
-
Folding mechanism: Test how easy it is to fold one-handed
-
Cabin access: Top opening as well as front for easier pet entry
-
Cabin ventilation: Mesh panels on three sides for hot days
3-wheel or 4-wheel pet stroller?
4-wheel strollers are more stable, easier for novice users, and better on flat surfaces — they don't tip backwards if you take your hand off. 3-wheel strollers turn more sharply and handle rough surfaces better, suiting active owners on park paths and gravel trails. The front wheel on a 3-wheel can swivel for tight turns or lock straight for jogging stability. For most casual users, 4-wheel is the easier choice. For active runners and walkers who'll cover varied terrain, 3-wheel with a lockable front wheel. Jogger-style strollers are 3-wheel with a fixed front wheel and bigger tyres, suited to actual jogging or trail walking.
How much do pet strollers cost in Australia?
Pet strollers at Simple Deals start from $80 for compact foldable models. Most quality 3-wheel and 4-wheel strollers sit between $120 and $250, with jogger-style and double strollers running higher. All strollers dispatch within 1–2 business days from our Australian warehouses.
What most pet stores won't admit
Almost every pet stroller sold online in Australia is imported from China — including ours. The real difference is not where the stroller is made, it's what happens after it lands in Australia. Marketplaces dropship straight from overseas containers, which is why "fast delivery" stretches into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there.
The other thing nobody mentions: pets need to be trained to use a stroller. Most dogs and cats are uncertain the first few rides — they pace, whine, or try to jump out. Build up gradually: start with the stroller stationary in the house with the pet inside for 5–10 minutes, then short pushes around the yard, then short outings, then full walks. After 2–3 weeks most pets settle and start enjoying rides. Buying a stroller and going straight to a 30-minute walk usually creates a stressed pet that refuses to use it next time.
Frequently asked questions
What if my stroller arrives damaged?
Contact us within 7 days with photos. We will arrange a replacement or refund under the 12-month warranty. Transit damage is uncommon with flat-pack strollers, but check the wheels and frame for bends on receipt.
How long does assembly take?
Most pet strollers assemble in 15–30 minutes — attach the wheels and unfold the frame. Tools and instructions are included.
How long does delivery take?
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane: 3–5 business days. Perth and Adelaide: 5–8 days. Regional and remote areas: 7–14 days.
Can I pay with Afterpay, Zip or PayPal?
Yes, all three. A $200 stroller works out to four payments of $50 with Afterpay, four payments of $50 with PayPal Pay in 4, or roughly $17 a month with Zip over 12 months. Klarna is also available.
What's the warranty?
12 months on manufacturing defects, plus 15-day returns on unassembled strollers in original packaging.
Complete the pet travel setup
A stroller handles the outdoor mobility, and a few pieces round out the travel kit. Most owners add three at the same time: a carrier for vet trips and shorter journeys, a car seat cover for transport, and a comfortable mat for inside the stroller.
