Our essential dog walking kit suggestions!

No matter what the weather or whatever the season, your dog is still going to need his or her walk. Think about it, whether torrential rain, frosty mornings or perhaps snow under foot, your four legged pal is likely to get wet when out and about. And, so are you!

The solution is having the right ‘dog walking kit’, that will include items to help keep you both warm and dry, whilst helping to keep that messy, annoying mud at bay!

1.Dog Drying Mitts

Dog drying mitts are an essential piece of equipment to dry your dog after those wet and adventurous walks. Made from a soft towelling material, these mitts are a perfect size for rolling up into a rucksack or slipping into a jacket pocket when not in use.

Available in a range of colours – Dog Drying Mitts

2. Dog Drying Coat

If your dog loves to swim in rivers or take a dip in a lake, then there’s always a worry that they might get too cold too quickly. Our dog drying coats will help! Made from a soft towelling fabric (the same fabric as the dog drying mitts), these coats are simply great for wrapping doggy up within minutes. The design is based on that of a horse blanket and they’re perfect for wet and muddy walks and bath time.  Plus, they’ll almost certainly love wearing them too!

So, whether looking for a dog drying coat for a small chihuahua or one for a Great Dane (plus everything in-between), we have one to fit. No dog too small or too big!

9.  Hoggs of Fife Braemar Wellington Boots

What’s better than a good pair of comfortable wellies when walking through long wet grass or along muddy paths?

The Hoggs of Fife Braemar wellington boots are classic traditional wellies made from 100% rubber. With a side strap and cotton inner lining, these wellies really are designed for comfort. They are lightweight and are available in two classic colours.

10. Waterproof Gloves

There’s nothing worse than walking your pet on a lead when your hands feel freezing cold and wet!

Although normal ‘thinsulate’ knitted gloves can be great when out on walking on dry and cold days, they can be quite slippy when they’re wet.  Not good for holding a secure grip on doggy’s lead!

Therefore, the gloves shown in the picture above are fully waterproof and are just what you need in your dog walking kit!  Made from a unique three layer construction (from a fabric that’s similar to wet suit material), these great waterproof gloves are warm and are comfortable to wear –  and they’re 100% waterproof!  Plus, they have a ‘dimpled’ palm and fingers in their design to give you better grip of your dog’s lead!

Available in Black, Olive and Camo – Waterproof Gloves
