HIKING WITH YOUR DOG

Gear for walking and exploring with your dog beyond the city

On a hike, your gear should help you maintain control, carry water, manage waste and handle small situations along the route. This selection brings together practical accessories for trails and outdoor outings.

Control on the trail

Leashes such as TrekShock and TrekDuo help keep you connected to your dog through movement and pace changes along the route.

Hydration on the go

A collapsible food and water bowl such as TrekBowl makes it easier to offer water during breaks without taking up much space.

Organization and waste

A compact waste-bag holder keeps bags accessible throughout the route.

Drying off after the trail

A towel such as TrekDry can be useful after rain, mud or water crossings, or before getting back into the car or going indoors.

BEFORE YOU GO

Plan your gear around the route, terrain and weather

Duration, water availability, trail type and weather conditions all change what you need to carry. Also check the harness, identification and overall condition of the gear before starting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions about hiking with dogs

Common questions about leashes, hydration, waste, drying and preparing gear for a hike.

What should I bring when hiking with my dog?

It depends on the route and duration, but a secure restraint system, water, a bowl, waste bags and identification are usually useful. Longer routes or changing conditions may require additional gear.

What kind of leash can I use for hiking?

Choose based on the terrain, local rules and the level of control you need. Leashes with anti-shock systems can help make some changes in tension more progressive while moving.

How much water does my dog need during a hike?

The amount depends on your dog’s size, the temperature, intensity and duration of the route. Carry enough water for the planned outing and offer regular breaks.

Why carry a portable water bowl?

It makes offering water during breaks easier and, when collapsible, takes up less space than a rigid bowl.

Is it important to pick up waste on a trail?

Yes. Carrying bags and removing waste helps keep natural spaces clean and reduces the impact of your visit on other users and the environment.

What can a towel be useful for outdoors?

It can help dry water, mud or moisture before getting into the car, arriving at lodging or returning home.
