Dog Trailer

Hi,
Just got ourselves a new puppy and want to buy a dog ‘trailer’ and looking for some options. Can anyone offer some advice on which one to buy and which one not to.

Have never seen anyone tow a dog trailer with a Cali in my years of ownership. Would it not be a bit frightening for the puppy? When we got our puppy she came in the van with us and still absolutely loves it, think she would have been a nervous wreck being towed in a trailer.

apologies - should refer to towing using a bike!!

We are going to look further into a ‘Buddyrider’ which we’ve recently seen someone use. Probably only useful for small dogs or puppies. Why type of dog is your puppy as this will be helpful for recommendations?

We have the Croozer for our Lab.

We started off with a modified children’s trailer but the architecture/size just didn’t work plus it was unstable.

The Croozer is eye wateringly expensive but worth it. It’s built like a tank and quality is everything you’d expect from a German product. It’s super stable and gives you complete confidence in the safety of pooch.

One thing that is tricky is getting the correct axle mount for your bike. There is a huge number of options on the Croozer site but, as long as you understand your bike/hub/axle then it’s easy to order the correct one.

I’m hoping to do some bike packing on our tandem triplet with our two boys. Luggage in panniers and on trailer. I was wondering about Meg. I thought a dog basket mounted on top of the Zarges box which sits behind the Triplet on a Y-large trailer. Mostly, though, she would trot alongside.

hi for some years we used a dog trailer with our retriever, and were very pleased with it in every regard. See website.

It was this one….

and purchased from that site too. Small firm but super friendly and efficient. We had a small issue with the bag, and they couldn’t have been more helpful.

Currently away in the van in Cornwall and taken the sack with me to the beach. Useful for long walks when she gets tired (she’s still a puppy and knackered herself out). Allows us to do long walks without worrying about her little legs!!

Thank you for responding so quickly. Will be ordering one this evening. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

I’ve been looking at one of these for my dog and was wondering which size/model you have for your lab?

We only have a small dog, but we use a DoggyRide trailer, ours is the Mini but they come in different sizes depending on the size of your dog. We’ve had her for 4 years and done many bike rides ranging up to 40 miles in a day. On off road sections, we often let her out for a bit of a run alongside us, but you have to keep the speed down to about 5-6mph so that she can keep up. We cycle at about 10 mph, when she’s in the trailer.

We paid just over £200 for ours and they can still be bought for similar money, if you shop around. The wheels detach and the sides of the trailer fold down so it easily fits in the back of the van.
