Must-Have Accessories for Dog Walking in Rainy Weather

Rainy days are part of life in the UK, but they don’t mean you and your dog have to skip your daily walk. With the right accessories, wet weather walks can still be safe, comfortable, and even enjoyable—for both of you.

Here’s a guide to the must-have dog walking accessories that help you stay prepared when the clouds roll in.

1. A Water-Resistant Dog Harness

Standard fabric harnesses can get soaked fast. A water-resistant dog harness will help your dog stay drier and more comfortable on damp walks. Look for one that’s easy to clean and fast-drying.

Tweed tip: Tweed isn’t just for sunny strolls—it holds up surprisingly well in drizzle, especially with a sturdy lining.

2. Strong, Non-Slip Dog Leads

Wet hands and slippery leads don’t mix. Choose a lead with a good grip, ideally with padding or textured fabric. Leads that stay secure in all weather help avoid sudden slips and keep your pup safe.

Our Dog Leads Collection includes leads designed for daily use, rain or shine.

3. Poop Bag Holder (That Clips and Zips)

No one wants to rummage through pockets in the rain. A proper poop bag holder clips neatly to your lead or bag. Bonus points for waterproof zips or wipe-clean fabric.

Keep it stocked and ready to go by the door. It’s one of those small accessories that makes a big difference.

4. A Good Dog Walking Bag

Dog walking bags are a lifesaver when the weather turns. You need something that keeps treats dry and essentials within reach. Look for bags with:

• Waterproof lining
• Quick-access pockets
• Room for wipes, phone, and spare bags

We’ve got just the thing in our Dog Walking Bag Collection—stylish, practical, and perfect for UK walks.

5. Microfibre Towels by the Door

OK, this one’s for when you get home. Keep a soft, quick-dry towel ready by the entrance. It saves your floors from muddy paws and makes post-walk clean-up quick.

Fold one into your dog walking bag too—you’ll thank yourself on soggy field days.

6. Collars That Dry Quickly

Wet collars can get uncomfortable and smelly. Choose a collar made from fast-drying materials. Bonus if it matches your dog’s lead or harness—it keeps things tidy and smart.

Our dog collars are built for both form and function, with a range of colours to suit every dog’s look.

🐾 Final Thought

Rain doesn’t stop a determined dog—and with the right gear, it won’t stop you either. A few small swaps can make a big difference in how much you enjoy wet-weather walks.
