At present, China has entered the aging society, but the mental health status of the elderly group has been neglected for a long time. The companionship of "companion pets" can improve the depression of the elderly, so the elderly are encouraged to keep pets. Meanwhile, the number of semi-disabled and disabled elderly people in China has reached 6,400, and their travel is also a huge social problem. Therefore, the design point of the elderly care walker with the function of carrying pets can not only help the elderly to travel, but also play the role of emotional care.
