1. Size and weight of your pet
Your pet needs to comfortably fit in their stroller. Ideally, they need to be able to lie down. Before choosing a pet stroller you will need to know the size of your pet. To measure your pet, get them to lie down on the ground. Measure with a tape measure from the start of the tail to the front paws.
Pet strollers have a maximum weight capacity. To figure out which stroller will fit your pet, weigh them. If you pet is too large to fit on your scale at home, have them weighed at the vet. Or, if you can pick up your pet, first weigh yourself and then yourself with your pet; subtract the difference.
