Dog trollies for bikes recommendation needed (1 Viewer)

[Burgo]

Has anyone got any recommendations or advice regarding a dog trolley to tow behind a bike, please?

We are looking to get one for Nico who is around 10kg and would like one which is foldable or easily packed into the garage. Ideally with the ability to be hooked (clipped?) easily between two of our bikes.

Any advice please?

Buddy rider also , keeps the weight of the dog central on the bike, the sit in front of you over the crossbar, we have a mounting bracket on each bike so the rider is easily swapped, just a pin and a clip to swap from bike to bike

Sorry, I read that as dog grollies….

Buy the lightest one you can afford !

Burley tail wagon. Brilliant bit of kit. I’ve really abused mine and it takes it. Only weighs 11kg, but can take a big dog. Possibly overkill for you though.

I’d much prefer a bike mounted carrier, handle bar, or cross bar , but our dog is too big for that.

Not a cheap trailer but you get what you pay for .. plenty on the market and look for second hand ..

Pawhut bicycle pet trailer for us.
Decent price and quality and as a bonus our dog loves to ride in it

All the best

I use a doggyhut trailer for my pooch. He's not entirely happy in it but tolerates it.
They frequently come up on eBay as many dogs don't take to them at all so there's quite a high turnover of them.

Not a bad price, 20kg dog, works well

I tried various trollies with my Springer Spaniel and an electric bike using friends trailers and found the dog much prefered the open trailer rather than an enclosed one so in the end went with the following....

BIRCHTREE Cargo Trailer 64L FH-CT01 Blue

Product Descriptions: A durable and convenient way to carry cargo on the move with bicycle trailer. Steel frame construction with PE bottom allow weight up to 40 kg to be carried with ease. Universal hitch enables quick attachment to any

www.kmsdirect.co.uk

Not only was it structurally sound but also less than half the price of any other.
The towing arm can be removable by using a pin as can the wheels. The plastic container is easy to wash and takes a cage dog bed folded in half but we also put a pillow in the front for the dog to rest her head on when not sitting up to see who is about.

On problem I found was with the wheel axles as they have reverse hand thread - so take care when fitting. (I have spare nuts if you ever need them)
I used Lynch pins to fit the wheel axles and tow bar as it only takes second to remove them....

For the hitch I bought the following and yes did buy a pack if 3 as they were nigh on as cheap as one and gave me the opportunity to make a mistake fitting ! Also subsequently they do wear if not kept clean so a spare is worthwhile...

If you go down this route and need help fitting things drop me a line....its easy, but more so AFTER you have done it

We have a Pawhut. Making its way around andalucia at the moment. Works really well. Dog weighs 14kg. He loves it. Only comes with one bike attachment which fixes to the bike axle point though. I'm sure you could get a second from pawhut

Doggyride for us. Not cheap but well made. Simple attachment makes swapping between bikes easy. Wheels are detachable and it can fold down. The dog loved standing up with her head out & elbows on the roof directing operations from the rear.

We have this one for a 10 kg cockapoo she fits in fine it’s the trixie version well made and come to pieces and packs quite small .only consideration is the type of axel you have on your bikes as this requires a more traditional thread and bolt style to easily fix the bracket . You can purchase additional bracket so one for each bike .

We've got a dog buggy & tried it out with our new pup today - did not go well at all we'll keep trying but wondering if a doggy rucksack might work better, if anyone uses one? She weighs just under 10 kgs

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

She weighs just under 10 kgs

Mrs CC got a rucksack for our girl Jack when she had bad legs but soon found out it gave her terrible back ache after a short time

Plenty of good tips on get dogs used to a trailer, best one is to have the trailer with all wheels, bars etc off and use it in the house as a kennel, dog to choose when he/she wants to go in and out. All of ours have taken well to trailers after some familiarisation. Keep at it and just use common dog sense

 

[Minnie]

Ours were ok after we kept feeding treats every time they went in.
They do get used to it and now willingly jump in.

We got one of these for our Cockapoo. Not the best picture but hopefully you’ll get the idea!

Thank you to everyone who replied - some great advice and options. We're kind of focused on something like the Pawhut / Trixie model for a balance of "bang per buck" and have taken feed back from a few others on sites over the last week. Purchase has, however, just slipped back as (1) Nico went down with bloat while we were near Rincón de Victoria and has racked up a vets bill of nearly €200 and (2) the festering plastic bodied Reisch kitchen tap has cracked at the bottom bit where the spout plugs in so that will need replacing unless I can dry it out enough to araldite.
