All of our bags are made from waterproof fabric and are sold as water-resistant. They are designed to be worn year-round.

Newer models in the Original bag, also come with a drawstring inside the top of the bag to make it waterproof.

If you have a leather bag, we advise you treat the leather with a specially designed polish or protector (just the same as you would do with leather shoes).

The spacious main pocket is ideal for carrying a lead, toys, mobile phone, gloves, paw drying mitts, basic first aid kit etc. or anything you may need on a longer walk.

The front of the bags has a poo bag dispenser and a handy pocket for storing a hand sanitiser. The pocket on the rear of the bag is ideal for keeping keys and headphones.

The bags also have side pockets which are perfect for bottles or larger toys which may not fit in the main pocket. There is a handy treat section at the front of the bag which is ideal for finding treats in a hurry when recalling your dog.

The Velcro straps at the rear of the bag allow you to attach the bags to your own belt so it can be converted into a bum bag. We also have a new range of bags with plastic clips in place of the Velcro. These hook onto a belt and provide a more secure fit.

Polyester bags can be washed in a gentle wash in a machine (but do place them in a pillowcase or laundry bag so that the clips do not damage the machine). The fabrics may fade over time with repeated washing and may suffer from sun bleaching.

Leather trimed bags, such as the Khaki bag, should not be emersed in water but the fabric can be cleaner with a brush and warm soapy water.

Leather bags cannot be washed but they are designed to last if treated with care. We advise you treat the leather with a specially designed polish or protector (just the same as you would do with leather shoes).
