It's made really well and comes in different sizes. Mine was for my 100 lb pyrenees/golden mix. He lost use of his rear and could only walk about 15 feet without falling (at his worst). I rehabbed him, but the problem was that he would walk with eagerness only to lay down and quit. I would have to leave him tied to a tree to get the car, and I wasn't comfortable with that. So with the cycletote, me, him, and the bike would walk as long as he wanted and then I'd throw him in the cart for the ride home.

He was up to a mile a night right up until he died, 3 years later.

However, I see now that Burley makes a dog trailer, and it looks cheaper. I don't know how big it is, though.
That looks like one of the nicest trailers I have ever seen. A lot better than most of the child trailers.
