Crossword Genius

Pets went ahead, providing conveyance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dogsled

'conveyance' is the definition.
(dogsled is a kind of conveyance)

'pets went ahead' is the wordplay.
'pets' becomes 'dogs' (I've seen this in another clue).
'went ahead' becomes 'led' (led the way).
'dogs'+'led'='DOGSLED'

'providing' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
