The Tail Wagon is Burley's dedicated bike trailer for dogs and other pets.
If you've been looking for a way to bring your dog along on longer rides without them running alongside, this is a practical solution that's built specifically for the job.
Design and loading
The entry and exit points are designed to make loading easy, which is worth thinking about if your dog is nervous, older, or not exactly a willing participant at first. A trailer that's awkward to get a dog into becomes a trailer that stays in the shed. The Tail Wagon keeps that process straightforward, with quick-clean materials inside for the inevitable muddy paws and post-ride mess.
Comfort on the move
The interior is set up for pet comfort during the ride, with ventilation to prevent overheating and enough space for your dog to sit or lie down comfortably. For dogs who aren't used to trailers, starting with short trips and letting them get used to the movement makes a real difference before committing to longer rides.
Practical details
The Tail Wagon folds down for storage and transport, which helps if garage or boot space is tight. As a foldable pet trailer it's significantly easier to live with day-to-day than bulkier options that stay assembled.
It attaches to the bike via Burley's standard hitch system, compatible with most adult bikes.
Who it suits
The Burley Tail Wagon works well for dog owners who ride regularly and want their pet along without the limitations of on-lead running. It suits smaller to medium dogs particularly well. If you have a larger breed, check the weight limit before buying.
It's also a sensible option for older dogs who still want to be part of the ride but can't manage the full distance on their own. As bicycle trailers for dogs go, the Tail Wagon is one of the more thoughtfully put-together options at this price point, and Burley's build quality tends to hold up well over time.
If you're buying as a gift for a dog-owning cyclist, it's the sort of thing they're unlikely to buy for themselves but will use regularly once they have it.
