At Syd&Co we know that getting out on a walk with your best furiend can be one of the quickest ways to make yourself feel refreshed and revitalised.
This National Dog Walking Month, we’re celebrating why it’s important for you to get outside with your dog. Whether it's around the block or an adventurous hike, walking your dog isn’t just great exercise it’s a chance to explore, connect and make new memories together.
We want to ensure that every walk with your pup is enjoyable, so we have compiled a list of our dog walking essentials, making those dog walks that little more enjoyable.
Dog walking bag
Our dog walking bag is fully functional and stylish and perfect for strolls around the park or packing up for a longer adventure. With multiple zipped pockets, a removable treat pouch and a discreet poo bag dispenser, we love that you can fit all the essentials in this bag but it isn't bulky, you'll feel safe in the knowledge that your belongings are secure on your walk.
It comes in three gorgeous colours to suit every mood – nude, pink and sage. Better yet, you can have it personalised with your dog’s beautiful face.
Flask and enamel mug set
Settle down for a brew with a view with our Paws Outdoors flask and enamel mug set, keep your tea (or soup!) warm during your hikes with your buddy, it's up to you whether you share. It is a great way to warm your insides during those frosty hikes, whilst also taking a moment to take in the views.
Inspired by the beauty of the Lake District, our Paws Outdoors collection is perfect for those who love to wander. We are based in the Lake District and always have Paws Outdoors close to hand whilst bagging Wainwrights.
Paws Outdoors travel mat
The travel mat is perfect for settling your pup, train your dog to recognise the mat as a place to promote calm. It will become an environmental cue for your dog, teaching them how you'd like them to respond in that moment. Teach them to settle at the pub after a walk, at the cafe for a lunch date with a friend or to sit down settled whilst you enjoy your picnic. With its non-slip backing and wipeable fabric there's no need to worry about muddy paws.
We even love that you can use it as a picnic mat!
It neatly folds and has a handy strap to carry (get Dog Dad to carry it!) or pack it away in your backpack.
Paws Outdoors hiking mat
If you’ve seen the story behind our hiking mat then you’ll know that it was designed to take with you on walks with your dog in place of a carrier bag, giving you somewhere dry to sit even on soggy days. With water resistant fabric and padding, it will keep your bum dry whatever the weather. Some of our smaller doggy friends also use it as a settle mat too!
Pop it down on the grass, on a bench or a rock at the top of a mountain and you will understand why this is a must for every dog walk. It folds up into a neat small package which you can pop in a coat pocket.
Take a seat and rest your feet!
Adventure bowl
The personalised adventure bowl is multifunctional and is ideal for taking out on those longer dog walks where your pup needs to refuel on the way.
Store their favourite treats, their kibble or even use it as your own lunchbox! We find this bowl really useful when we're travelling further afield as it doubles as a food bowl.
This popular bowl has a multitude of uses, and your pup will come to recognise it as their own personal adventure bowl. As it's enamel, it's resilient so it will stand up to being brought along to every adventure.
Backpack
A personalised backpack makes for a handy addition for a day trip with your dog. Pack away your flask, your adventure bowl and a spare jumper for you both when you're off on a longer walk. It is also perfect for dog friendly weekends away and camping trips and what's better than being able to personalise it with your favourite furry face?
With multiple colour options and two practical sizes to choose from your biggest decision is what do you go for!
