Guidance on this site is editorial, not veterinary advice. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and stop if your dog is distressed.

Information on Dog-Bicycle-Trailer.com is editorial guidance, not veterinary advice and not a substitute for the instructions supplied with your trailer or bicycle.

  • Always read and follow the trailer manufacturer’s instructions, weight limits and safety warnings. Where this site and the manufacturer disagree, the manufacturer’s instructions take priority.
  • A bicycle trailer is not suitable for every dog. Introduce it gradually and stop if your dog shows signs of fear, distress, overheating or motion sickness.
  • Consult your veterinarian before cycling with a puppy, a senior dog, a dog with a medical condition, a flat-faced breed or any dog recovering from injury or surgery.
  • Our tools (quiz, size calculator, comparison tool and checklists) provide guidance based on the information you enter. They cannot guarantee that a trailer fits your dog, is compatible with your bicycle, or is safe to use.
  • You are responsible for riding within local laws and for the safety of your dog, yourself and others on the road or trail.
