Frequently Asked Questions

The company was founded in 2003 when we are ready to market our first designed product, the DoggyRide Original.

Dutch Dog Design actively manufactures the DoggyRide and Britch lines and outsources the design of the Amsterdam line. The DoggySnooze product line production is (temporarily) suspended and the Buddy has been discontinued.

Dutch Dog Design operates from two offices, one in the Netherlands for Europe and one in the United States (Seattle, WA) to serve North America. If you are outside of these geographical areas please contact our US office.

The product warranty varies from 1 year to a limited lifetime warranty. Parts that wear, like tires and tubes are not subject to warranty, but all other parts are. Our more detailed warranty statement can be found here.

Dutch Dog Design actively promotes their 100% non-toxic policy, which means that all parts are made with material that is tested and certified as non-toxic or with limited and acceptable levels. So, the paint, fabric, polyester, rubber does not contain toxic materials like lead, sulfur or PCBs. Also the packaging material used is recyclable.

While the Novel and Original are build on the same cabin, the Novel is a higher end model. Novel is made of alu alloy, which makes it about 8 lbs lighter. The wheel connection of the Novel is push release, which makes it easier to put and take off the wheels.

Novel has a lot of extra features in the cabin, such as head rest cushion, air flow and see through on the rear, pouch and water bottle holder, reflection stripes all around the trailer.

The difference between stroller and jogger-stroller is the wheel function and size. The jogger-stroller wheel is for off road use and both jogging and strolling. The stroller is more for paved roads and strolling only.

We no longer support a handlebar attached pet bicycle basket as we believe pets should not be biked around on a shifting handlebar. Imagine a living animal being on a constantly shifting handlebar - it easily creates nauseau. We hear all the time from pet owner that their pet diidn’t like to be in a bicycle basket till they got the Cocoon on the Britch. The Cocoon is a platform supported bike basket that is stable and not connected to the handlebar.

Our Cocoon pet carrier is not designed for the Klickfix. If you want to use it on a bicycle purchase the Britch.

Dutch Dog Design focuses itself on loading anything front or rear of the bicycle for the simple reason that it keeps the ‘cycling dynamics’ in place. Our products are designed to enjoy riding (together) and a sidecar might look appealing it does not work well with a bicycle. A bicycle is designed to ride on two wheels with load in the center. Once you add on one side it completely changes the dynamics of cycling and after a few times you’ll stop using it. A sidecar is not suitable for a bicycle.

Our DoggySnooze was packaged to order, which allowed the consumer to specify all different colors and customize the dog bed. The line to package the order took significant warehouse space and since we moved from Snoqualmie to Seattle we did not sufficient space to continue this line.

We don’t know yet while we are working to get into a larger location.

The Britch uses the seat and down tube of the bicycle and by connecting the platform section either front or rear connection is possible.

Yes, the frame is designed to stably create a carrier platform and the 5-inch clamp portion creates sufficient stability to hold the load.

Yes, by adding pannier brackets. The pannier brackets are used downward for the rear and upward for the front.

The Britch comes with a basket adapter that is connected to the bottom of a basket or a bag. This basket adapter connects with a single click to the Britch.

A trailer with a tow arm fit for the Britch connects to the Britch the same way the basket adapter connects with a single click.

The brake cables run outside of the clamp. In case a brake cable for the front brake touches the Britch while turning the handlebar guide the cable in between the clamp and downward.

The platform section can be removed separately from the clamp section. That makes it really to uninstall while not in use.

Our regular dog collars are made from PET webbing that uses recyclable material to make the webbing. They are softer, yet as strong as regular polyester webbing. We also use non-toxic paint for the printing. Our waterproof collars are made from TPU.
