Q: Why would I need or want a Burley Tail Wagon™ or Rover™ Pet Trailer and Stroller?

A: For years people have been purchasing Burley child trailers and adapting them for use with their pets. Like you, when we go out we don't like to leave our pets at home. The Burley Trail Wagon™ and Rover™ bicycle trailers are a safe and fun way to spend active time with your pets and also serve as a great way to commute with your animal companions.

The Burley Tail Wagon™ Pet Stroller / Bike Trailer is helpful for maturing pets who want to get outside when they can't run as far as they used to. No longer do you have to make the choice between leaving your pet at home or cutting short your bike ride or ski trip. Simply let your dog run as far as he or she is able; then let them relax in the Burley Tail Wagon™ with stroller or ski option while you both spend quality time together in the outdoors.

Q: Is it possible to use the Burley Tail Wagon™ for activities other than cycling?

A: You Bet! The Burley Tail Wagon™ is a safe and fun way for pets and their people to walk, run, ski and cycle together.

• For Cycling: Your Burley Tail Wagon™ comes ready to attach to your bicycle. Simply attach the standard hitch to your bike and you are ready to roll
  
  
• For Strolling: The Burley Tail Wagon™ pet trailer comes with the stroller kit installed. You can switch between bike trailer and stroller in less than a minute without any tools.
  
  
• For Skiing: The Burley Tail Wagon™ is compatible with the Burley We! Ski™ Kit for cross country skiing. The ski attachment replaces the wheels and a harness is worn by the skier. Skiing with a trailer will take some getting used to so begin on easier trails until you get comfortable.

Q: What is the maximum weight capacity of the Burley Tail Wagon™ and Rover™ trailers

A: The maximum weight capacity of the Burley pet trailers are 75 pounds. However, you should check your pet's dimensions and not just the weight. The internal dimensions of the trailers are 32.5" W x 18" D. Be sure to check the height, width, and length of the trailer compared to your pet. If you have concerns about whether your pet will fit feel free to give our friendly customer service a call today!

Q: Will the Burley Tail Wagon™ and Rover™ Pet Trailer be comfortable for my dog or cat?

A: Yes, and when you get to your destination, you may find you pet likes the comfort and safety of a home away from home. It doubles as kennel.

Q: How can I help my pet adjust to our new Burley Tail Wagon™ or Rover™

A: Give your pet a little time to adjust. As with any change to a pet's habits, be sure to give your cat or dog some time to get used to the change. Some cats and dogs will be unsure of the trailer at first, but virtually all pets eventually get comfortable and enjoy their trips as a treat.

• Try leaving a pet trailer open and available to your pet with some treats inside the trailer.
• Let your cat or dog explore the pet trailer both inside and out.
• Before going outdoors, try wheeling your pet to an open door or window. Let your pet associate the trailer with the great outdoors.
• Reward your pet with a treat the first couple of times you use the pet trailer
• Plan a few quiet trips first. Pet trailers are great for taking pets to crowded or hectic environments, but plan your first couple of trips to nearby destinations that are quieter and at times that are less busy.
• Place a favorite blanket inside stationary pet trailer. A familiar blanket will provide a sense of safety and will allow your pet to hide when they want some privacy
• Once accustomed to the pet trailer, only put your pet in the trailer when headed outside. Your pet should associate the pet trailer with the enjoyment of being outside rather than with being confined indoors.
