• That the pet safety strap is aached to the pet’s harness before
the pet enters the trailer
• Keep the bug screen zipped shut until the rider is confident the
pet will not try to exit the trailer while in use
• Using a harness on the pet, rather than a collar, to reduce stress
on the pet’s neck
• If your pet seems uncomfortable, adding a blanket or pet bed to
the base may help with pet’s comfort level
• To get your pet used to the trailer, pracce with frequent but
shorter rides, in less tracked areas to limit distracon for you
and the pet
