Transporting a dog by motorbike: Everything you will need to safely transport your dog by motorbike

Overseas we see it all the time and it's a fun picture. An adorable dog on a motorbike with his master both enjoying their ride. In Greece something like this is not so common, but the truth is that it is a beautiful experience that you can share with your faithful friend.

Of course, it is enough to take all the necessary measures for the safe transport of a dog by car . If you have everything you need, then the walk will be a great opportunity to spend time with your pooch without danger.

So let's see all the essential accessories for maximum safety on the machine.

Marzipan

The dog carrier is the most correct solution for transporting it by bike, if it is small and light. With the carrier, your dog feels safe in your arms and has the ability to perceive everything around him without feeling imprisoned.

Harnesses with straps that hug the dog's entire body without the risk of him running away with a sudden movement are suitable . Of course, before transporting the dog in the machine with a carrier, it is good that the animal is familiar with this type of transport, so that it does not get scared.

Carry bag or box

For larger dogs or for those who are afraid of the carrier, you can use a bag or a transport box. For example, a carrier backpack that fits over the shoulders allows the rider freedom of movement, while the pooch remains in a safe space.

In such a case, it is good that the ride does not last long or that you make stops.

Dog helmet

When transporting the dog with the machine, whether it is done in the carrier or in a transport box, a dog helmet is absolutely necessary . And here it is very important that your dog has familiarized himself with this accessory before the walk, so that he does not have the slightest discomfort.

It is also essential that the helmet is the right size and that it is soft inside.

Snood and sunglasses

These are two very necessary accessories if the dog is traveling with a carrier. And this is because the speed with the machine is high and an animal is not used to such a thing.

The dog snood hugs its little ones so that they don't get cold and are not bothered by wind and noise. The same applies to dog sunglasses , which protect from the sun but mainly from dust and other contaminants that can get into the animal's eyes at high speeds.

In any case, the sunglasses should have rubbers that fit on the back of the head and also on the jaw for a better grip.

Finally, for safety reasons, it is good that the dog does not wear a collar, but a dog safety harness during its transport with the machine.


We wish you good and safe travels!
