The Complete Guide to Thule Dog Products

When your dog is part of the family, you want them with you—whether you're heading out on a road trip, biking through the park, or just running errands. The right gear makes it easier to bring your dog along while keeping them safe and comfortable. That’s where Thule dog products come in.

From secure dog car crates to bike trailers built for four-legged passengers, this guide will walk you through our main categories: dog car crates, dog car harness, dog bike trailers, and dog accessories, plus offer tips to help you find the right solution for you and your dog.


Why choose Thule dog products?

Thule dog products are designed with the same Scandinavian attention to safety, quality, and functionality that defines all Thule gear. Whether you’re planning a long road trip or a quick bike ride, our goal is to help you travel safely and actively with your four-legged friend.

Each product is rigorously tested to meet high safety standards, built with durable materials that hold up over time, and designed to fit seamlessly into your everyday routine. And because no two dogs (or adventures) are the same, we offer a range of products to suit different needs.

1. Dog car crates – for the safest car travel

A high-quality dog crate for your car is one of the safest ways to travel with your dog. It keeps your dog secure, helps you stay focused on the road, and adds safety for everyone else in the car too.


Thule Allax – safety meets comfort

The Thule Allax is a premium dog car crate designed for both safety and comfort. It’s crash-tested in three ways – rear, front, and rollover – to help protect your dog in case of an accident. The crate is adjustable and available in multiple sizes to fit different cars and dogs. It features:

  • A robust aluminum frame
  • An innovative crumple zone that absorbs forces and prevents the crate to break or forces to transfer into the backseat
  • Smooth, quiet door with a secure locking mechanism
  • Adjustable depth for a better fit in your trunk
  • Rear escape hatch for emergency exits

You can find the right fit for your dog and your car using our dog crate fit guide and size guide—both designed to make the buying process easier and more accurate.

A dog crate for the car offers peace of mind—the passengers and your dog stay secure, and you stay focused on the road. Read everything you need to know about choosing the right dog car crate here.

2. Dog car harnesses – flexible and secure

If you’re looking for a lighter setup or just want to keep the trunk free for other gear, a dog car harness is a great option. It lets your dog ride safely in the back seat with enough freedom to sit, lie down, or stretch out for a nap. Perfect for everyday errands, weekend getaways, or whenever you need that extra space in the back.

Thule Cappy – designed for safety and comfort

The Thule Cappy car harness is crash-tested and made specifically for use in the car. You only need to adjust the size once, after that, it’s quick and easy to put on and take off. There's no need to pull it over your dog’s head (a big win for dogs who aren’t fans of that), and the smart back straps make it simple to loop the seatbelt through securely.

Highlights include:

  • Crash-tested for safety
  • Easy to switch between cars
  • Step-in design—no need to pull over your dog’s head
  • Separate adjustment from opening and closing makes it quick to put on
  • Padded and adjustable for a snug, secure fit

For dogs who prefer riding in the back seat, or for smaller vehicles where a crate isn’t an option, a car dog harness is a reliable and comfortable choice.

3. Dog bike trailers – take your dog on two wheels

Want to share your love of cycling with your dog? A dog bike trailer is the perfect way to bring them along—especially if they’re too small, tired, or older to run beside you. With a secure and comfortable trailer, your pup can relax and enjoy the journey.
