Does anyone else feel like they end up packing so much stuff when they take there dog out for a walk or is it just us 🤣 we have to make sure we pack our bag before letting Beau know we are heading out for a walk (although he is clever and usually knows straight away).
We thought it might be helpful for any new dog owners out there to read a list of 'dog walking essentials' that might come in handy (some of them may not be relevant for your pooch but these are what we use for Beau).
Dog Bag
There are so many different types of dog walking bags out there so find one that suits you best! Lately we have been loving taking our Bambs & Beau bumbag out with us! It fits everything inside and you kind of forget you are carrying anything at all!
Lead
As much as we think it is great for dogs to be kept off leads sometimes you may need to put your dog back on the lead e.g. when crossing roads or when another dog is on a lead.
Poo Bags
Of course you are going to need an endless supply of poo bags and never risk it and just take the one with you! Poo bags really are not great for the environment which is why we hunted for bio-degradable ones, The Green Poop Bag are great.
Whistle
This is the one thing we definitely don't want to forget when we take Beau out for a walk! If he goes for a little explore this is how he returns!
We use an acme whistle but did you know you need a different frequency per dog!! This handy guide will tell you what whistle you will need for your dog.
Treats
I mean can you go on a dog walk without some treats? We like the Tasty Minis from Pedigree and also Wagg treats.
Water
If the weather is warm we always make sure we have some water on us that we can give to Beau to cool him down you could get a collapsable bowl or a dog water bottle.
Let us know your favourite dog walking essentials!
