Essential Kit for Dog Walking

It occurs to me everyday at around 7.30 in the morning when I take the somewhat sleepy whippets out, how did I ever manage before I set up Redhound? No Hold it All bag, no stylish rain coat, and no decent coats for the whippets! So I thought I would share with you the items I believe are essential kit for dog walking. Especially in this country where it seems to rain - a lot.


Firstly you need a waterproof coat. Preferably one that is cut to flatter your body, not a straight up and down thing that you got at Millets! I know that there is a shortage of stylish raincoats out there, and this is why I designed a small range of four coats to flatter all shapes and heights. 20 years of making wedding dresses taught me loads about great style and how to make the best of what you have. So, no excuse to walk the dog looking drab!


So that's the coat. Now you need a bag. 


We make this lovely bag in two sizes, Treat Bag, which is great if you only have one dog. And Hold it All, which is bigger and great for multiple dogs, and they now come with a pocket for your mobile. Keep the treats, your keys, the ball, the leads......All in the Hold it All

If it's raining and you have hounds like me who hate the rain, then you will also need one of these.


We do these in various breed specific sizes, but I have blogged about that before, so I won't go on about it again.

There you have it, all that you need for walking out in style! 

Oh and one last thing, a really decent pair of Wellies! Don't scrimp on these, I have learnt that you really do get what you pay for, and my current ones are Aigles, and I love them.
