As some readers may know, I love hiking with my pooch. It's such great exercise for me and for him too.
Here are the essentials I pack for pooch to make sure he stays happy on our hike.
A comfortable rucksack is always a great idea so you can carry easily all of your things and all of dogs things. This one I have had for over a year now and is holding up really well, it's from Accessorize Monsoon.
The next thing I always pack is water. This water bottle has a tray that is attached that allows your dog to drink from it, it was super inexpensive and you can pick them up from Pets at Home fore around £3.
Poo bags, not very glamourise but owning a dog means being responsible and picking up the poop. I like to use these nappy sacks from Tesco as they are cheaper than bags that are branded as poop bag and they are biodegradable.
Treats!! For those times you might be able to let Fido have some of lead time and you want to work on his recall.
The next thing I like to take is a flex lead. Sometimes you can't let your dog of lead, but you still want to give him some free rein to sniff and trot a little bit ahead. This is when it is great to have a flex lead as an option, it allows a little more roaming range with out any loss of control.
Lastly for the colder winter hikes, a good quality hardy jacket. This one I picked up from Pets at Home. It is fully water proof, fleece lined for warmth and it has a really nice chest panel which keeps the wet of Fido's tummy.
