Hi, do you know if the DoggyRide Original Dog Bike Trailer is big enough for an 80lb dog? Thanks!

My dog is 72 lbs and has room to move. I'd say 80 lbs should be fine. Don't expect to close the top though. At 72 lbs my bulldog/boxer mix has his head poking up through the opening like a giraffe through a minicooper sunroof! As far as weight and hills etc, its actually not that bad. And I'm no athlete.

I have a 65 lb chocolate lab and there is plenty of room for her. I think I could fit another small dog in there with her. I should add that my lab sits the whole ride.

The DoggyRide Original is wonderful. An 80 pound dog will be ok...sitting, or curled up. Not a lot of room to stretch out but most prefer to sit with their head up watching the sights. You'll just need to desensitize to first the enclosure and then the movement. Good luck and have fun!

Might be a little snug and uncomfortable to get out of it but should be OK..... Its pretty cool

After discussing this questions with my husband, he believes the wheels are rubber. Possible? Could the manufacture be contacted? I also saw reviews saying the wt. limit is low and no English Cocker Spaniel could use this--my dog is 30 lbs small English Cocker Spaniel and was perfect for him, he can turn around in it, no sagging what so ever, very sturdy. We have used it several times and he loves it. We bought him on the ferry (using elevator to the top outer deck) and he fell asleep for the ride.

My dog is a labrador mix weighing about 45lbs. He pulls a little and he still manages to pull my bike a bit at first if I don't pedal fast enough to get him going fast. Once he's running and tired he doesn't pull. I'm also petite and my bike doesn't weigh that much. If your dog is that big and and strong and LOVES pulling then I would not get this unless you can somehow control the initial pulling and weigh enough to keep the bike under you.

My dogs are 80 lbs +. I would recommend that you contact the manufacturer for small dog applications. I would not believe the settings on the lowest would be detrimental. But incorrect application could create more problems between you and your dog. Use this tool sparingly.

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

It will not fit an eighty pound dog. I have a Shih Tzu weighing 17 lb and it is barely big enough for her. She does love it and it's very high quality.

It would definitely support her because it is solid and I feel attaches to the bike nicely. My biggest concern would be space. I have an 8 pound dog who fits in it nicely. I'm not sure there would be enough room for 16lbs. Or at least for the one size carrier that I have. My dog does love it though.

Yes it is. i had my Great Dane in there about 135 pounds but she didn't fit there comfortably. Are your dogs chubby? I know one would be very comfortable, now for 2 I know they will fit but they would need to be seated or lay in there meaning they won't be able to turn maybe. This is the best stroller in the market. I highly recommend it. I did my own research before I bought and this is the best out there. Id buy it. Now, I had my Great Dane and my cocker spaniel. My Great Dane was disabled so she was inside and my Cocker Spaniel was outside tie up to the handler. You should put a pillow or a blanket in there so they are very comfortable and maybe a pig ear or a bone so they relate that to something good until they get use to it. Mine got used to it right away. Good Luck

This trailer is 5 feet wide and should be able to hold two street bikes depending on what kind of deck and/or sides you put on it. The gross vehicle weight is 1980 lbs per their specs. The tires limit the speed to 55 mph but I have towed mine for long distances at 65 mph. I think you can replace tires with ones that are rated for higher speed.

NO! That is way to big of a bike. I had a KLR 650 and it was to much bike for it. You are better off buying a small trailer.

I have two bicycles that i use the doggy trailer. I have no problem attaching the trailer. Having said that I have not seen your bicycle, so I can notsay if you would need a long 'spindle", I would guess that your spindle would be just fine.

Get the large one. This one works great for a 15-25 lb dog but You sound like you need the large. It is a very sturdy trailer though.

The leash is rigid except where it joins the bike and at the last 10" or so where it goes to Snoopy's collar. If you dog is less than 60 lbs, there should be no problem. If he is 90 lbs, or you want to use a splitter and run two hounds of that size, then it's a bit light duty for that. So to answer your question, a medium or smaller god should pretty much be kept away from the bike wheels.

My Bouvier is 85 lbs. and it's been working fine for a year or so. She's a strong puller - but probably not anywhere near a Bulldog. I'd be hesitant to recommend it for you.

I have the bike tow leash for about 7 months. It is flexible enough for my dog able to maneuver forward and back, but stiff enough to keep her away from the bike. My dog is a very strong puller and the tow leash is able to handle her. I believe because of where the tow leash attaches on the wheel frame and the stiffness of it, your dog will not be able to jump on the bike wheel. My dog and I both love this item, it allows for a great bike ride.

We use this bed for our 27 lb Welsh Corgi and she takes up 2/3 of the bed. I think for an 80lb dog you would need a larger size. I screwed L-brackets to the inside of each of the 4 corners to get the bed to stay together and the brackets are not noticeable as they are hidden by the bed pillow. It doesn't matter what size dog you have, the corners do not stay together without some extra hardware.

Personally I order the regular size for my 100lb dog and that works for her. There is also a mini version but I think might be too small for an 80lb dog. Personally I'd rather it be larger than smaller to prevent chocking hazards
