Dog Poo is NOT dog friendly!

Just come back from a dog walk and need to have a rant about people not picking up their dog's poo….. The Tissington trail is a lovely dog friendly walking trail, which is shared with cyclists and walkers alike. It is normally kept very clean and tidy, but I was disgusted today by the amount of dog poo deposited in the middle of the walkway.  As a responsible dog owner, I always pick up my dog's poo, whether it be on the path or halfway up a mountainside.  The reason I do this, is because I figure if I can get to it, then so can children who could be playing in the area.  I use bio degradable poo bags – you can find them in supermarkets, but often nappy sacks are cheaper than those designed for dogs – don't ask me why.

Anyway I had a look on amazon and found some jumbo packs that you can buy. 

 

These should keep you going for a while.  Now you never say that you haven't got any… Just make sure you tuck a few in your pocket, the next time you go on a dog walk.

Dog Walkers dilemma – what to wear?

One minute it’s T shirt weather, the next full scale waterproofs!  A coat is great with pockets full of dog treats, poo bags, mobile phone et al, but where do you put all the essentials, when you’re only wearing a t-shirt?  The answer, I found last year, was a bum bag. But let me tell you, this is looking pretty dirty and scruffy this year….

Flicking through my dog magazine, I found the perfect answer….the DOOG Walkie Belt

It comes with 30 bio degradable and scented poo bags, as well as some anti-bacterial handwipes, which is a bit of a bonus!  There is plenty of room for treats, keys, some money and your mobile phone. All essential dog walking items.

The cheapest price I found for the DOOG Walkie Belt was £16.50, but there is an alternative, see below:

Now I know what I am adding to my shopping list, so much easier for dog walks…..
