Pet and Dog Bike Trailer – Easy to Install

Posted by discountramps on August 17, 2009

Here at Discount Ramps.com we understand how important it is to be active and more importantly be active with family and friends. With that being said, we have received a lot of product recommendations/suggestions over the last few years and one of the most common suggestions is to offer a product that would allow our customers to haul their beloved pets behind their bike when they are out and about. We are proud to now have the perfect answer for this request. Below we will tell you about our new dog bike trailer the Pet-trailer-1. This is the perfect add on to any bike as it will allow avid bike riders to safely bring their pets with them around town.

What makes this new pet trailer unique is the fact that it is extremely easy to attach and detach from almost any bicycle once the “bike hitch” is installed on to the rear tire axle. Once this is accomplished, the pet trailer frame will be able to snap together with the hitch post with a few pins. The installation and setup of the trailer takes just a few short minutes all together. The dog trailer is strong enough to carry medium to larger sized dogs along with many other pets or animals that are similar in stature. One thing to note is that all of the required installation hardware and pins are included with the purchase of this bike trailer which will allow it to be attached to almost any bike frame and axle. The hitch itself is made of a strong metal and comes with rubber inserts. These rubber inserts will prevent your bike from acquiring any damages from the use of the hitch and bike trailer linking system. At this point since the product is brand new to our dog bike trailer product line this model is only available in the red color as picture below. We have chosen to offer this color as red has always been very popular and because red is bright this bike trailer will be more visible to others adding to the security of you and your pet while traveling in low lighting conditions. (The trailer also is equipped with front and rear reflective patches for additional visibility.)

    Light Weight Pet Stairs that are Cheap in Price not Quality.

    Posted by discountrampsmiken on February 19, 2009

    Discount Ramps has been receiving a lot of calls lately in regards to our selection of pet stairs and pet ramps.  Majority of the questions being asked to our pet product specialists are regarding the weight of the pet stairs that we offer along with the usability of the pet stairs.  Because of this we have put together two articles to help find the right ramp and/or pet stairs to fulfill the requirements of your situation.  We will be adding more pet ramp, stairs, and stroller articles very soon.  For now please visit the following two pages for additional information:

    Pet Articles

    We have created a section on our pet stairs and pet ramps page that is specifically dedicated to our pet stairs.  See our pet stairs here.

    Remember that whenever you are ordering pet stairs to pay close attention to the total height of the stairs so that the top of the last step will be at the level of your couch, chair, vehicle, etc… The reason behind this is for a smooth transition onto the other surface as majority of the pet stairs have a carpet surface so when your pet goes to step off this harder more stable/firm surface on to let’s say a couch if it is not a very level transition they may get scared or feel unstable.

    If you’re in the market for the most popular and lightest pet stairs we are confident you will find the ultralite pet stairs to be the best option. However, if you’re looking for a more designer style look you will want to see our wooden bed pet stairs as we offer two models a standard and decorative stair.

    Discount Ramps is now offering the longest dog ramp on the market.

    Posted by discountrampsmiken on April 4, 2007

    We have recently started stocking a new 8 foot long dog ramp. The part number for this dog ramp is the DR-08. We decided to start selling this 96″ long aluminum dog ramp mostly because of the high demand from our customers for a ramp longer than the 7′ (which used to be the longest pet ramp available). The DR-08 has comes fully equipped with all the standard features. For instance, it is manufactured out of aluminum so it is designed to last for years because aluminum does not rust. Not only that but because it is made of aluminum the total weight of the ramp is very minimal(26lbs). The fact that it is so light weight makes this extra long 8′ dog ramp ideal for assisting pets into higher spaces while not sacrificing the ramp’s ability to be portable. Speaking of portable, the DR-08 is a folding ramp too. It will fold the length in half and allow you to carry it with it’s built in “suitcase” style handle.

    UPDATE: a New 18.25″ wide, 8 foot long dog ramp has been announced and will be available in mid-May 2007- part # DR-08XW. This will be the longest, widest dog ramp available anywhere!

    Checkout more information about the features of the DR-08 dog ramp by clicking here.

    For information on how to get your dog or pet to use a ramp read the Discount Ramps article here.
