Would like to know how high the actual cart sides are by themselves. We have a new puppy and we're curious as to whether or not it would keep her in.

The sides are less than a foot high. One can easily make wood side extensions for three sides of the cart, but there is no simple way to fit an extension to the front. The front end of the cart slopes to facilitate dumping and has no built-in sockets to mount an extension.

About 10-1/4 in from rib in bottom to top edge. From very bottom it is closer to 11 ins. I agree with others rails in sides would not be hard to add in a box form. It would be a hard fall to the ground w/o them. Dogs can leap.

Royce The sides are 11 inches high. There are slat openings on both sides and the front so you can build up the sides further by using 1 inch by 3/4 inch slats. The back end does not have slat openings. I am sure you can tie something around the slats you can build to keep your puppy in the wagon. It is a wonderful cart.

Depends on how big the puppy is? I'd say the sides are about 12-15 inches but I would not put a puppy in a cart because they are very squirmy and could scramble and fall.

yes, I am sure it will hold her, without the side rails, the cart is 10 1/2 inches deep. with side rails it can be 2 feet.

Probably would need slats put around the sides..not too hard to do..easy to pull..

The doggy hut it pretty solid on the bottom and does not sag once my dogs are inside and ready to go for a ride. I pull it with my bike and have no problems going anywhere. The clearance underneath is from the wheel axle to the ground. My neighborhood also has several speed bumps and I have never bottomed out with it. Hope this answered your question!

I haven't had any problems with mine though I only have a 42 inch and have the cart set about as short as I can. With the way the design works the extra weight should help stabilize it further. It really depends what you intend to do with it. If you are going to put this in the middle of your garage, set at max height with a pack of excited rottweilers roaming about, then I would at least suggest putting a couple sandbags on the legs. If it is going to be against a wall, set at a more common viewing height with a big dog or two bumping it on occasion then you should be fine. Now if you have a Maine Coon that likes to jump from the top of the bookshelves onto the TV, all bets are off.

my border collie is about 75 lbs and it keeps her from hitting the floor if I stop fast, but she doesnt try to get in the front seat, so if that is what you are asking, I cant help you, I will tell you that I saw something that looked just like this in the Ollies flier that was a little over 12 dollars, just saying!

Kelly I don't know how high your cab is, but as for handling the weight, my dog is a 90-lb. lab mix and it supports him beautifully. I had to "ease" him up it the first time - he was a little nervous, but once he went up (treats at the top :)) he took to it and has no problem with using it at all.

I am about 5'3" and it's a little high for me. I can't measure it yet, because it's folded in my trunk and I am not able to lift anything until next week. Sorry I can't measure it until next week. If you want, please check back. I do love using it for my dog, although I would like to be able to LOWER the handle.

I did purchase it for my ten pound dog and I thought it should be deeper. On turns it made me nervous that he'd fall out. I still have it on my bike tho, for their water and leashes, etc that we might need on our ride. I have two dogs that I take with me. I have a trike so they both sit in the back basket together. I hope this helps you in making a decision.

When we researched the different ones for our dog, weight was an issue. Our 70 pound dog was quite comfortable with its size, and it was easy to push. The cart was sold for dogs up to 80 pounds. My other dog is over 100 pounds, and he would not fit inside. I hope this helps, Aasta

I have this cart in a different size and the shelves allow for installation either edge-up or edge-down. It looks like the product photo has the top shelf installed edge-up (to keep smaller items from falling off), but during installation I installed mine edge-down (so that I could lay oversize items flat on the top like a table). I hope this answers your question, someone else might want to confirm if this is the case with this particular size (I have had 3+ carts like this of different sizes over the years and they all seem to be constructed in this manner).

The back has a zipper that goes around the edge in an upside u-shape. You could simply unzip it. Your dog would need to step up into the cart, 4-6 inches.

The cart is just under 2 feet tall. A little short for my taste but I do use this cart every day and it fits out of the way easily.

It's not built that way but, if you are mechanically inclined maybe. The side rails in the front part of the cart are smaller in diameter than those in the back and less sturdy than the main frame of the cart which is all aluminum. Wheels could probably attach to the front, but a way would be needed so they could attached to the side rail too, just to keep it steady. Honestly if the dog is over 60 lbs and having issues with the front legs too, you should consider a different cart. I would not recommend this cart for a dog under 80 lbs and not a dog with front leg issues and back legs issues. Dogs carry most of their weight on their front legs. This is just not that kind of cart, in my opinion.

The cart is not at my residence so I am guessing here. It is about four feet long by 18-20 inches wide and about 48 inches high. I keep it at my pizza shop. It works well but not good for keeping dogs warm for more than about a half hour--it cooks them. Incurably cute, however.

One of the cart's was taller. Funny part is the Step One was taller??? That didn't make sense. I liked the Step 2 one better for may granddaughter as she is petite.

i use it behind my front seat. it took quite awhile to configure it so the sneaky beagle couldn't get thru. several bungy cords and many trials later, he can't get into the front seat. it would be too tall for keeping the dog from getting out of the cargo area of a station wagon. hope that helps.

I believe the refrig would be able to sit on top w/o a problem. The cart is very sturdy.

It is 39" high. It's been really good. The only thing we had to do was lubricate the wheels with a non-petroleum lubricant due to a squeak they developed. Nice ride for our dog.
