HoundAbout Pet Bicycle Trailer is a great way to maintain an active lifestyle with your pet. If you want to get in a bike ride, but your pet isn’t up to it, you can still take them along. Going to the park to give your pet a little fun and exercise? Why not get some exercise yourself on the trip there and back, without tiring them out along the way? Leashing your pet to the bicycle is inherently unsafe for pets and owners alike - the Track’r Bicycle Trailer solves that problem and your pet will love the ride. It’s also great for older pets or those with joint problems.

While loading your dog or accessing the interior of the cabin, the rear door can be kept in the open position by connecting the two hook-tape strips on the inside of the door to the two loop-tape strips located at the top of the cabin, near the back. Always keep this door closed while riding.
The trailer has two front doors: a vinyl windscreen door, and a breathable mesh door. The trailer can be used with one, both or none of these doors open. To ride with the vinyl door open and the mesh door closed, roll up the vinyl door into a tube shape so the loop-tape on the inside of the door connects to the hook-tape on the top of the cabin. To ride with both windows open, roll them up together into a tube shape and connect the hook-and-loop-tapes. Make sure the safety leash is adjusted so the pet cannot exit through the front door opening.
Cleaning - The cloth cabin and windscreen can be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge. The interior cushion has a removable, machine washable fabric shell.
Safety
- The trailer is equipped with reflectors at the front and rear of the cabin and on each wheel. There is also a reflective strip across the top rear of the cabin. When riding at dusk or after, use a battery powered light on the trailer.
- The trailer is intended to carry pets only. No human passengers!
- Always ride with the rear door closed. When riding, your dog should always be secured with the safety leash adjusted to the correct length.
- Do not exceed the recommended weight capacity. Check tire inflation before every ride.
- Carefully check the connection of the trailer to the bike before riding.
- Be aware that riding with the trailer increases your braking distance and may affect your ability to control the bicycle. Thoroughly practice in a safe area before riding with the trailer in high-traffic areas.
- Always wear a helmet when riding

Customer Testimonial on the HoundAbout Pet Bicycle Trailer
"Cassidy tires easily when her border collie brother and I go biking. So I ordered this from you so she could run for a while and then ride along like a princess as we continue our journey. It was easy to assemble and we were on the road in no time!"
