  • Pluto dog trailer: Wich trailer size fits my dog?

    In order to identify the optimal size of the dog trailer, you should consider the weight, height and required resting space for your dog. The trailer is intended to be stable and safe, and should therefore not be too large. If you think the trailer is a little too spacious for your dog, it can be complemented with a dog bed, blankets or similar. The Pluto M is an allround size with a weight limitation of 35 kg. Interior height is 63 cm. This means that breeds like cocker spaniel, border collie, bulldog, terrier, dachshund and similar breeds fit well. The Pluto L is a trailer for larger breeds, and the weight limitation is 40 kg for bicycling and 45 kg for strolling. The interior height is 82 cm, and the trailer is therefore suitable for breeds like golden retriever, German shepard and dobermans. Perhaps are you also bringing 2 dogs?
