Pet Parent Essentials for walking your dog

Updated: May 10, 2023


Walking your dog, learn the essentials you'll need


As a pet parent there are certain products that I wouldn't want to live without. We live busy lives and when you are walking your dog, you want it to be as enjoyable as possible.


I've put together some of my go-to products for when you walk your dog around the neighborhood, go on a hike, or visit the local dog park!


Here are some of my go-to products for when I'm walking my dog:

  • Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds - amazing for getting my calls done while taking my pup on his daily walks. I also enjoy using them around the house when I am cleaning, cooking dinner, etc. I will never go back to regular headphones, honestly. I love these because they come with different sized silicone tips so you can fit them to your ear perfectly and they stay in my ear like no other options have in the past. They have an easy carry case that also acts as the charger for them and I only have to charge them about 2x a month and I use them DAILY for several hours!


  • Harness & Leash Set - I love this brand because they are super easy to put on your pet. I've used harnesses in the past where I spend way to much time and energy trying to struggle getting the thing on. By the end of it my pup and I are both stressed and frustrated, lol. This one is great because it is EASY, SIMPLE, and the front clip is a game-changer for dogs that love to walk you instead of the other way around. The leash can clip both on the front and the back for better control and less pulling! And it comes in lots of fun colors!


  • Portable Water Bottle/Dispenser - I love that this is a 2-in-1 product. I've tried carrying around those collapsible bowls with a water bottle and it gets bulky. this is a great option for on the go, long road trips, & more!


  • Fanny Pack - I like this one because it can be crossbody or around the waist. I never have enough hands to keep ALL the THINGS. This is great because while I can be hands-free with my headphones, I can keep my phone, pet treats, a toy, my keys, and any other little things I need to make our walks easy and fun! I also really like all of the fun color choices:)


  • Pet wipes - these are a must for my pup, especially after a fun time at the dog park! We get back home, wipe him down (paws included!), and then he gets a yummy treat as a reward. If your pet has allergies it is really a good idea to wipe him/her off so that any pollen or yucky stuff they pick up outside doesn't travel inside your home. I love this brand because they are all-natural, don't irritate the skin, and I feel confident he isn't getting anything toxic into his system either from absorbing it through his skin or from licking afterwards.


I hope that some of these products will make your life a little easier, us Pet Parents have to stick together. If you have other product suggestions you'd like to share, comment below!
