Do large dogs need strollers?
Often, yes! Discover why big pups benefit from rest & support, and how the FikaGO KROSS offers comfort, style & ease for owners. dragged on walks, rope-burned hands, or the overwhelming cleanup after rainy outings, you’ve probably envied small dog owners who can stroll around effortlessly with a stroller.
Why Large Dogs May Actually Need a Stroller Even More
Due to age, joint health, or stamina issues, large dogs may need a safe space to rest even more than small dogs. A large pet stroller is not only for mobility-impaired dogs but also a useful tool that enhances quality of life for both dogs and their owners. No need to worry about scaring pedestrians or overworking your pup—create new adventures together, even in old age.
Meet the FikaGO Large Dog Stroller – Where Function Meets Elegance
Let’s take a closer look at how FikaGO redefines the outdoor experience with large dogs.
Which Large Dogs Need a Stroller?
Taking large dogs out is a test of strength and strategy. When your 66 lbs dog looks at you with pleading eyes and refuses to walk another step, a stroller becomes your best friend.
Large Dog ≠ Super Stamina: These Dogs Especially Benefit from Strollers
Dogs over 55 lbs are generally considered large breeds. Their joints and muscles bear far more strain than smaller dogs, and long outings can be exhausting for both the dog and the owner. Different breeds face unique challenges. That’s why a pet stroller for large dogs isn’t a luxury, it’s smart care.

Why Regular Pet Strollers Don’t Work for Large Dogs
l Weight Distribution Issues: Regular strollers are unstable for dogs over 66 lbs
l Cramped Cabin Space: Small cabins restrict movement and strain their joints.
l Weak Frame Strength: Lightweight materials can’t handle the impact of large dogs and may deform or break over time.
