A Motorcycle Backpack With Room for Bigger Dogs
Most motorcycle dog carriers stop at toy breeds. This motorcycle dog backpack runs from small dogs up through medium builds, so your riding partner doesn't have to be a Chihuahua. Your dog sits upright on a thickened cushion with their head out the top, taking in the road over your shoulder. Mesh panels on both sides keep air moving, and reflective details on the shoulder straps help traffic see you when the light fades.
Key Features
- Head-out top opening: Your dog watches the road while their body stays supported inside.
- Thickened cushion base: A padded floor gives your dog a firm, comfortable seat for the ride.
- Breathable mesh sides: Airflow on both sides of the pack, even on warm days.
- Front zipper with buckle straps: Zip the carrier closed, then buckle the straps across the front for a second point of closure.
- Reflective shoulder straps: Added visibility for riders behind you at dawn and dusk.
- Multiple pockets: Front and drawstring side pockets for treats, waste bags, and small gear.
Riding Comfort for You and Your Dog
For your dog, a cushioned seat and mesh ventilation matter most on longer rides. The padding keeps them from sinking into the bottom of the bag, and the mesh keeps the inside from getting stuffy under the sun.
For you, padded shoulder straps carry the load. The slim, sporty profile keeps the pack close to your back, so it doesn't catch the wind or shift around in the saddle. When you park, it's a regular backpack again, ready for the walk into the café or the trailhead.
Sizing by Chest and Length
Measure your dog's chest at the widest point and their body length, then check weight. Where weight ranges overlap between sizes, chest and length decide the fit.
| Size | Dog Length | Dog Chest | Dog Weight | Bag Size (H x W x D) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 16.9 in | 23.6-26 in | 2-11 lb (1-5 kg) | 16.5 x 9 x 4.7 in |
| M | 19.7 in | 27.6-29.9 in | 9-20 lb (4-9 kg) | 18.9 x 9.8 x 4.7 in |
| L | 22.8 in | 29.5-31.5 in | 18-40 lb (8-18 kg) | 22.4 x 11 x 4.7 in |
| XL | 26.8 in | 32.7-37 in | 35-66 lb (16-30 kg) | 25.2 x 11.8 x 4.7 in |
- Material: Polyester with mesh side panels

Before Your First Ride
This is a soft backpack carrier, not a crash-tested restraint. In the L and XL sizes, a dog on your back also changes how the bike feels. Let your dog get used to the carrier at home, start with short, low-speed rides, and check your local laws on riding with pets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my dog for this motorcycle backpack?
Measure around the widest part of your dog's chest, then measure body length. Compare both with the chart, and use weight as a final check rather than the only guide.
What if my dog fits two sizes?
The weight ranges overlap between sizes. If your dog falls in two, go by chest measurement first. A pack that matches the chest will hold your dog more securely on the ride than one chosen by weight alone.
Measure your dog, choose your size, and bring them on the next ride. Browse more options in our motorcycle dog carriers collection, or see every style in dog carriers.
