Top level pet trailer

There is a fundraiser triathlon I participate in annually that I’m the cyclist for the team. It’s a low-stress affair that emphasizes fun over hard competition which has me considering taking my dogs with me in a trailer.
As there is some moderate hill climbing I’d prefer to use the best rolling/ lightest trailer I can find.

suggestions ?

Dogs, as in more than one? Are we talking Chihuahuas or Great Danes here?

As you probably know, Pugs can be very susceptible to heat. I don't know what temperatures you would be riding in, or for how long, but consideration for cooling and water would be important.
I have four dogs, so trailering them just doesn't happen, so I can't give any recommendation for any particular brand. However, you should probably be looking for something with an aluminum frame and enough interior volume to allow your pups to ride comfortably.

The Burely Tail Waggin works well for our 2 little ankle biters. Plenty of ventilation.
