10 Dog Carrier For Motorcycles | Bike Pet Carrier Bag

What is the best dog carrier for motorcycles?

The best dog carrier for motorcycles on the market at this time is the Kuryakyn 5288 Grand Pet Palace.  However, that is after taking into consideration important aspects such as dog safety, overall comfort, product cost, fashion & style, etc. 

Besides the fact that it can carry larger pets than its competition, the Kuryakyn 5288 Grand Pet Palace is the most reliable, most durable, and has the best reviews its close competition and of the other models we tried.

In the end, this is considered the high end of the pet carrier world. Fortunately, don’t you worry, there are cheaper options out there for people who still want to have a safe bike ride with their dogs without having to break the bank.

10. Milwaukee Performance MP8103 - Heavy Duty Pet Carrier

Our appreciation

Firstly, right off the bat, here is one awesome and somewhat affordable product. It doesn’t look like much from the picture but don’t let that fool you.

Also, It comes with everything you would expect from a good quality pet motorcycle or bike carrier. It is made from heavy-duty (almost indestructible) yet quite breathable fabric.

In conclusion, Milwaukee Leather has been in the pet carrier industry for a while and more than half the price of the Kuryakyn, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to consider the MP8103 heavy-duty pet carrier as a viable option.

  • Three Outside Bonus Storage Pockets

9. LEMON PET Dog Motorcycle Carrier - Legs out Backpack

Our appreciation

Coming in 9th place is one of my wife Jessica’s favorite pet carrier, the Lemon Pet legs out backpack carrier.

I have to say that I had (and still have) doubts about the safety of this one.

Also, The hooks, zippers, and overall quality of the product seem fine but I wouldn’t feel safe riding at high speed with such small protection.

For example, we did take a ride with our chihuahua at low to medium speed and our little one seemed to enjoy herself anyhow.

Moreover, this model comes in 4 different sizes and 7 assorted patterns and colors.

Wonderfully, It is machine washable, durable, comfortable, and pretty cheap.

It would also make for a nice option for hiking, biking, travel, etc.

This is obviously another backpack design.

On the other hand it is the most popular dog carrier backpack on amazon. It has thousands of reviews and countless pictures of people wearing it.

For many years, this backpack has been extremely popular amongst dogs and dog owners.

Moreover, this particular medium size one is good to hold up to 30lbs / 13 kg without any problem.

In addition to the small, medium and large model, The X-Large model can support up to 80 pounds. That’s around 36 kg. Will your back be able to sustain the whole way though? Challenge accepted I suppose.

The Nelson-Rigg Route 1 Rover Pet Carrier has been on a few people’s Instagram in the past year.

Similarly to the most expensive brands, it also has a beautiful and clean design which might have something to do with it.

Made from industry-leading UltraMax fabric, the main compartment can hold pets up to 20lbs / 9KG.

The coolest feature of all, it’s water-resistant, which means you don’t have to stop as soon as it starts raining a little bit.

It has straps for both a sissy bar as well as the lower straps.

Coming in #3 is the amazing mcgrady1xm adjustable pet backpack.

Testing this one for a few weeks, I find that it’s the more versatile carrier we found so far.

Obviously, it’s the backpack kind of carrier bag. After using it for a while, I find that it is more comfortable than some of the other models.

That is for the dog as well as the dog owner.

If you are looking for a cheaper option which you can also use for hiking, walking, etc. 

At the low end of the price spectrum, It might be worth considering.

Behold, the almighty Saddlemen 3515-0131 Pet Voyager.

This one came very close to grabbing the number one spot. However, availability, shipping, and handling time combined with personal preferences were the main reasons we felt Saddlemen should be second best.

Other than the usual items you would expect from a high-end pet motorcycle carrier, here are some of the features which differentiate them from the competition and makes them one of the best dog carriers for the motorcycle you can find.

-Multiple vents and flaps

-Spacious pet compartment

-Removable and washable bottom tray

-Adjustable sissy bar

-Quick-disconnect mounting straps and sissy bar sleeve

In the end, the Saddlemen ends up being one of the best option at this time of writing this article.

Beaver's choice

Our appreciation

The Beaver has spoken!

Occupying the Beaver’s Choice #1 spot for the second year in a row. The Kuryakyn 5288 Grand Pet Palace.

Indeed once again the competition was extremely fierce this year but the results were boringly almost identical.

It’s been two years so you would assume I’d be able to pronounce the name of the company right. Well, you would be wrong about that assumption.

About the product itself, as mentioned in the beginning, this is the top of the line when it comes to motorcycle and bike carriers for dogs.

However, it is far more durable, more reliable, better quality, this one is simply in a league of its own.

Although a bit more pricy than its competition but this is the kind of carrier you only buy once in your life and then you are set.

Above all, It’s easy to adjust, comes with extra straps, has an easy to clean removable foam cushion, and is weather-resistant.

For all these reasons and many more, the Kuryakyn 5288 is the ultimate top dog amonst the dog carrier for motorcycles and bike.

We ordered this one with the intent of returning it but we ended up keeping it as well.

You win again amazon, you win again…
