Introduction:
In the past few posts we have been reviewing various pet strollers, and in this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about the Four Wheel Pet Stroller from Vivo, a great pet stroller for small dogs.
While the argument generally seems to be cat vs. dogs, I think that the real argument may be between those who are owners and fans of small dogs vs. big dogs. There are tons of perks to both small and large breeds, one of the biggest concerns about small breeds, particularly those who have particularly active owners, is whether or not their dog will be able to keep up with them during their daily exercise or on their excursions around town. This is particularly true for those who own very small breeds, breeds that have short legs, or breeds that are prone to respiratory concerns.
Of course, there are other reasons that your dog may need to use a stroller. Temporary injuries, permanent disabilities, and simple old age are all conditions that may be helped with the use of strollers, making pain management for your pet more manageable as well as making your life easier.
This article will go over the product details, the pros and cons, as well as any additional information you should consider when looking at the Four Wheel Pet Stroller by Vivo to see if this stroller is the best fit for you and your small canine’s needs.

Pros:
One of the biggest advantages of the Four Wheel Pet Stroller is how lightweight it is. Since it weighs only 11 pounds, this stroller doesn’t add any extra weight while you are on the walk. Even considering that this Four Wheel Pet Stroller holds up to 30 pounds, which is generous compared to some of the other small dog strollers that we have reviewed, this means you are only pushing around 40 pounds at the most. This is significantly lighter weight than many other strollers currently on the market.
Additionally, this stroller is very spacious and tall, which means that even if you are pushing around a tall small breed dog, or more than one toy or miniature breed dogs, they will have plenty of room to stand up and move around without sitting directly on top of each other. This stroller may even be a good way to take a litter of puppies to the vet!
This four-wheel pet stroller is also very easy to assemble, coming with clear instructions. Additionally, this stroller has a button for a quick release to easily fold the stroller down for easy transportation and storage.
Finally, this stroller features a top mesh window that allows you to keep your eye on your canine companions and let them feel the sunshine on their fur, and can easily be covered to protect your furry friends from the elements.
Cons:
There are plenty of different great things about Four Wheel Pet Stroller by Vivo, there are some definite concerns about this particular stroller that should be considered before making a purchase.
The first problem that people have found is the durability of the wheels. It seems that in an attempt to make this stroller incredibly easy to assemble, for some, the quality of the components seems to be lacking and quickly come apart. Additionally, the material that the wheels are made of seems to make it harder to navigate over rough terrain, and the actual tires seem to wear and tear quickly.
Additionally, the stroller of this carriage sits fairly high above the ground, which means if your dog has a disability, arthritis, or injury, or if they are just rather short and don’t have long legs, it may be very difficult for your dogs to get in and out of the carriage safely and easily.
The Four Wheel Pet Stroller also has some issues with the durability of the fabric. Some have found that a determined animal, with even slightly sharp nails, may be able to quickly get through the fabric and escape into the public. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor the fabric to ensure that the stroller does not have any runs, snags, or other damage that your pet could exploit and slip through.
Finally, the last concern that people have with this stroller is the fact that the zipper can sometimes malfunction and cause problems allowing your pooch in and out of the stroller, as well as damaging the surrounding fabric. Again, it is important to regularly and carefully inspect the zipper and the surrounding fabric to ensure that nothing is damaged.
Additional Information:
This stroller features a very generous below the carriage basket, which allows you to bring any essentials you might require along with you on your walks and runs. Additionally, the stroller also features two cup holders, which means that you can stay hydrated no matter how long your walk is.
Conclusion:
Picking out the best stroller for you and your pet’s needs can be difficult, especially with all of the various options available. This stroller is roomy enough to accommodate even tall smaller breeds, is easy to assemble for set up and fold down for transportation, and features a great mesh window at the top that allows you to keep an eye on your dog while they are in the stroller.
However, the biggest drawback we have found is the durability of this stroller may be questionable in the long run, though not everyone has struggled with all the durability issues that others have found.
In the end, this stroller is a fantastically popular option that often is at the top of its category on Amazon. We hope that this review will help you to make the best decision for you and your family’s needs, whether that is the Four Wheel Pet Stroller or another stroller that we have recently reviewed.
