Texsens Innovative Traveler Bubble Backpack Pet Carriers for Cats and Dogs (Black)

Many owners we know like to take their canine companions with them when they embark on a journey – whether it’s a road trip across the country or just a family visit. The apparently simple task of getting your dog from A to B isn’t always that easy, though. It’s one thing to move a dog around safely in a car, but another thing entirely when motorcycles come into play.

Although a motorcycle will never offer as much protection as a car, you can keep your dog safe – as long as you keep riding carefully – with a motorcycle dog carrier. These carriers are worn either on your front, or as a backpack, and keep pets secure during the ride. With these ingenious carries, you no longer have to choose between keeping your pooch safe and hitting the open road. We’ve scoured the market for our top ten motorbike dog carriers, so you can make an informed decision for the safety of both you and your dog. We’ve also addressed some common concerns about carrying your dog this way, so you can ensure your pooch can travel securely and happily.

The Best Motorcycle Dog Carrier 

Outward Hound has earned themselves the first spot on our list with their patented PoochPouch. The carrier can be worn on your front and comes in a variety of sizes to ensure that all small to medium dogs can sit comfortably.

The light-weight mesh fabric also allows your dog to stay cool on the move – much better than being stuck in a hot car on a warm day! The carrier also has an extra pocket to stow away any essentials, whether that be a collapsible water bowl or doggie treats. More importantly, the bag also includes an internal safety harness, keeping your pet secure even on bumpy journeys. The tough but soft nylon also makes this carrier extremely durable, so your dog can keep safe on the road for years to come.

Designed to be used by everyone who loves to travel, this option comes with a wide range of additional features for optimal comfort and consistency. The sides are expandable to help your pet feel more at ease and able to spread out, while the material is strong yet flexible enough to offer extra strength.

Petsfit Expandable Dog Carriers

The nylon woven straps are easy to carry and the carrier even comes with additional storage in the form of a side pocket. At the same time, the zipper is self-locking, so you can always feel confident that your pet won’t escape while you’re busy travelling. Best of all, it’s suitable for use as a carry-on luggage with airlines.

Mr. Peanut's Expandable Soft Sided Pet Carrier

With a stylish design and plenty of additional features, we’re confident when we say that this is one of the best pet carriers for any adventure lover. A mesh window for ventilation ensures comfort and breathability for your pets, while the expandable side allows them to stretch and get comfortable on longer trips.

A built-in ID holder means you can always feel safe that your pet will be returned to you, or your ID is close to hand, should you need it. At the same time, a seatbelt attachment means your pet will remain safe and sound on your travels. Finally, a fleece pad offers a little extra creature comfort, as you travel, regardless of the method you prefer to adventure in!

NICREW Legs Out Front Dog Carrier 

And the second backpack style carrier to make it onto our list is from Nicrew. Their carrier is adjustable, allowing pooches of all shapes and sizes to travel in comfort. It comes in a variety of sizes, from small to extra-large, and will fit most small to medium sized dogs. Customers report that dogs weighing up to 20 pounds or so can be safely carried with this device.

Like many of the items on our list, with this carrier pets benefit from ventilation thanks to mesh sides. Owners report that the pack provides their furry friends with ample leg room, and keeps them secure – perfect for cyclists as well as motorcycle owners!
