Interior height is 63 cm. This means that breeds like cocker spaniel, border collie, bulldog, terrier, dachshund and similar breeds fit well. The Pluto L is a trailer for larger breeds, and the weight limitation is 40 kg for bicycling and 45 kg for strolling. The interior height is 82 cm, and the trailer is therefore suitable for breeds like golden retriever, German shepard and dobermans. Perhaps are you also bringing 2 dogs?
