Need A New Dog Walking Hand Bag?

What sort of dog walking bag do you use?

There’s one thing dog walkers like and that’s deep pockets in their jacket to stuff all kinds of things in including dog treats and the ladies like to complete their dog walking outfit with a practical and pretty bag.

Bags must be glamorous enough for park walks, but also beach walks, weekend breaks, camping country staycations, and for nearly all daily occasions, practical and stylish. The word ‘handbag’ isn’t quite appropriate!

Cross body bags are perfect because they are worn across the body, freeing up hands, extremely practical, accessible, and good for security reasons where your bag can be seen at all times, whilst allowing you to carry the essentials. The cross body is perfect leaving you hands-free for dog leads, whistles, handing out dog treats, throwing balls or taking a break drinking your coffee, whilst your dog is exercising. The strap across the body must be comfortable, and adjustable to accommodate your height, and how you like to wear it. Size is important, particularly if you have two or more dogs and may need to ‘upgrade’ to something larger.

Backpacks have come along way, aren’t just for weekend hikes, or going ‘the odd day’ to the office, (as we all move to home working). Backpacks are really useful to use on daily dog walks, where your dog may not be the ‘walk round the corner sort of dog’ but one that enjoys a robust carefree run, a National Trail morning circular walk, going to the beach for a doggy swim or a spot of shopping on the way home rom a dog walk. Larger dogs and longer walks generally mean you need to take more with you.

Bum bags are simply perfect for the small dog owner that needs to carry very little, as small dogs tend to need less exercising and less often and less accessories to be carried. A bum bag can be worn around the waist or over a shoulder if preferred, a clasp normally fixing two ends of a comfortable to wear, adjustable strap. One that has several zip-around pockets is practical, keeping dog treats in one place, dog poop bags, maybe a whistle if you use one, and mobile phone.

What’s in your dog walking back pack?

• Emergency first aid necessities, balls for throwing, spare collar in case one dog slips theirs, lightweight dog drying towels, sun block, water and collapsible bowls, muzzles, long leads, dog poop bags, mobile phone and cards!

Readers Digest have traced the history of the bag right back to 2,500 and 2,200 B.C. with a find made in Germany 2012, but the word ‘handbag’ came to notoriety during early 19th Century being used for luggage as travel became so popular with the new railways, and men’s brief cases.
