Although most of the pet bike trailers are
advertised as dog trailers they can carry any
type pet, from cats and dogs to rabbits and pigs!
Another advantage of the pet bike trailer is that

removing the wheels and towing hitch the trailer
can be used as a pet crate for home use or in a
vehicle as a travel crate.

Dog Bike Trailer
There are many different makes and models of pet
bicycle trailer on the market, all with different
specifications. However, choosing a bicycle
trailer for your dog is quite simple, and just by
identifying the key points of each dog trailer
and matching them to your requirements you can
quickly narrow down your search to just a couple
of models.
Dog bike trailers all have a recommended weight
limit that they can carry. Exceeding this limit
may see the trailer breaking under the excess
weight and could be potentially dangerous for
both the pet and yourself.
Weight Limit
One of the most important pieces of information
you will need when narrowing down your search is
the internal pet cabin dimensions. Measuring your
pet and then comparing those dimensions to the
size of the trailers pet cabin will ensure that
your pet will comfortably fit into the area
without being cramped.

Bike Trailers For Dogs
The majority of dog trailers can be folded down
for easy transportation and storage. The wheels
on most can be quickly removed by way of spring
retaining clips, however, some dog trailers do
require other parts to be removed to fully fold.
Check the Amazon reviews to find out if buyers
have had any problems with the folding operation.
If you are planning to transport the trailer in
your vehicle it would be wise to check the folded
size of the dog bike trailer before purchasing.

Safety Options Another aspect to consider are
the dog trailer safety devices. Such things like
internal leash ties, parking brakes, towbar
safety strap, rear lights, reflectors and flag
all add to the safety of both the pet and rider.

Dog Trailer
Wheels, Tires Suspension The majority of the
better constructed dog strollers have 16 20
inch wheels, air-filled tires and fully working
suspension that give a smooth ride even on bumpy
terrain.
Dog bike trailers can often be transformed into
dog strollers by way of a rear push handle and
front wheel conversion kit. Alternatively, the
product may be sold as a dog stroller which can
then be converted to a dog trailer by using a
towing hitch kit. So if you want a
stroller/trailer you should make sure that it can
be converted and that the kit is included with
your initial purchase or if you need to buy it as
an extra.
