Great dog walking kit

My favourite piece of kit is my Dicky Bag - pictured above. As they say on their website:
"The Dicky Bag is an award winning stylish neoprene bag that’s lightweight, airtight, washable and leak proof which can be attached to you or your dog and stores those nasty knotted plastic bags until you find a suitable bin. British invention, Patented design & Hand Made in Cornwall, The Dicky Bag is robust (original prototypes still going after 5 years). No more embarrassing moments, nasty niffs or disgusted looks; with The Dicky Bag poop bags are out of sight and out of mind. Dicky Bag, the civilised way to carry dog poop."

An alternative to Dicky Bags which doesn't have benefits of out of sight, out of sniffing range but is better than carrying filled bags by hand is the simple Alcott Essentials Waste carrier (available from Amazon).




​
​I also love the really well thought-out features of Barking Bags dog walking bag. One of the clever features is that the shoulder strap doubles as a lead (should yours break or get lost on the walk or if you find a stray dog….). And there are Velcro straps on the back which you can use for a ball thrower or in my case, to hold my fold-up walking stick.

There are also now poo bags which are environmentally friendly, ie not plastic but lovely biodegradable materials such as corn starch eg Beco bags, Fetchitbags and Pets at Home's own brand version.
