Any one used panniers on their dog? How well do they work?
Any recommendations?

We use Ruffwear packs with hydro bladders built in - dog loves wearing the harness - handle is dead useful lifting her up n over stuff... pack works best hiking but well enough for 6-8 hr bike epics but the panniers attach via clips at top and velcro underneath - velcro is the weak link and often comes loose when running at speed - dogs a collie - so happens a lot - working on a fixed solution at mo to make more secure..

whole set up is 80 quid rrp I think - email me as I can get discount via a friendly supplier...

I use panniers all the time on our Malemutes. They can slip around a bit if not secured properly and if your dog is a riggly lad.

On our broad shouldered dogs they fit fine and are great for getting the dogs to carry their own kit.

Try snowpaw store or cullpeppers on line.

Although to be honest I might be mailing Snowpaul myself as his hydro bladder set up sounds ace.

Thanks for the offer Snowpaul, but I am in NZ and the postage would be a killer! Fed up with carrying water n munchies for the mutt, he can carry his own.
