FAQs
Are These Harnesses Safe?
The harnesses outlined in this article are for looks only. If you want a safety harness for riding with your dog we recommend using a vest or back pet carrier. We cover those fully in this article on the best dog carrier backpacks. We also have an article on DIY backpacks here.
There are a few saddlebags that can hold dogs like the one shown below but these are far more expensive than the backpacks.
We don’t recommend using a harness with a tether. If your dog falls out or you get in an accident they will be dragged behind the bike and are less protected than if they were in a saddle bag or backpack.

Is a Leather Dog Harness Always Best for Your Dog?
It’s a given that not all dogs are the same. A leather dog harness, while certainly the most authentic and attractive, may not always be right for your dog. It’s a good idea to do some personalized fitting for your dog before you come to your ultimate decision.

Can Some of These Vests Be Used for Cats?
A few of the models on this list, particularly those that are listed as useful for smaller dogs, can also fit your cat. It’s a good idea to use caution before you try one out on your cat. They tend to be a bit more jittery on the back of a bike than most dogs!
