We think it’s fair to say we all love our furry friends, our canine companions are becoming bigger parts of our daily lives than ever before. With the rise in popularity of ‘take your dog to work days’ and the ability to get them as many clothes and accessories as you’d buy yourself, it’s fairly obvious that we like to spoil our dogs.
Here we’ve picked our top products that we think any dedicated doggy owner needs.
Although we love an adventure, and we think that has equal members of the family, our dogs should always come along for the ride, not all of these pet essentials are designed for extreme walks, we think every owner should pick up these best-sellers, whether you’re walking cross country, or just to the local park.

Collars are great for short walks around your neighbourhood, but for longer walks or day trips, a harness is a great alternative.

We’ve all tried a classic extendable lead, but they can easily get tangled and difficult to keep track of your dog, as well as the handle often being big and bulky and inconvenient to carry, especially on a long walk. The Roamer Leash from Ruffwear is designed to incorporate the best features of an extendable lead, but in a sleeker and more effective way.
The Roamer Leash is an extendable leash that provides your dog with increased freedom to explore and investigate surroundings, which is ideal on longer walks, but removes the mechanics of similar leads, and works by the whole leash being extendable. To avoid losing control of your dog, the leads are made to have less of a range, so that although your dog has some independence, you’re still in charge, as well as the added traffic handle for quick restraint.
Forget the bulky handle, the design of this leash is made to be lightweight, and is equip with a small loop hole handle, that is easy to put round your wrist, so you can have your hands free.
Available in a range of colours, and two sizes, this simple but game changing leash is perfect for the dogs who love to explore, but need reigning into from time to time.
