Comfortable and functional clothing
Multifunctional clothing: choose lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics that offer comfort and breathability throughout the day. Pack versatile garments that you can easily layer or adapt to the weather.
Make sure your clothing has enough pockets to store your things and your dog's! Good to know: our Kenwood gilet has a zip-off 'treat pocket'!
Below you can see the Milton, also available for women (Kenwood).
Sturdy footwear: invest in supportive walking or trail shoes with good grip to protect your feet on rough terrain. Choose waterproof and durable options for an extra-long life.
Planning a really adventurous walk? Then add our Toronto gaiters to your packing list. They offer high protection against branches and thorns and come with a full-length zip, an adjustable drawcord at the top and an adjustable metal cable at the bottom.
Sun protection: protect yourself from the sun with a wide-brimmed hat or a cap, sunglasses and sunscreen. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to exposed areas such as your nose, ears and neck.
Compact rainwear: not sure about the weather at your destination? Then be sure to pack a lightweight rain jacket! The long Oxford and Newbury from our collection are ideal lightweight raincoats, which also protect you from the soaking wet furry friend walking beside you! (Ever walked with a wet retriever in the rain? Your trousers won’t enjoy it 😉)
Your dog's comfort and safety
Easy-to-carry dog bed: invest in a lightweight, water-repellent dog bed that you can easily take along and set down wherever your adventures lead. That way your furry friend has a cosy spot to rest after an adventurous day. Discover the Balenodog bed in our webshop!
Weather-resistant clothing: depending on the weather at your destination, pack weather-resistant coats or vests to keep your dog warm and dry. Look for options with adjustable straps and reflective details for extra functionality and safety. Our Bobby dog coat in printed tweed is a stylish yet functional example. Thanks to the fully waterproof fabric and just three hook-and-loop fastenings, you can put the coat on and adjust it easily without making your dog uncomfortable.
Functional collar and lead: make sure your dog has a well-fitting harness and a sturdy lead for safe, controlled walks. Look for options with reflective elements for better visibility!
Portable water and food bowls: stay hydrated and fed on the go with collapsible water and food bowls. These light, compact accessories are perfect for days out in nature and attach easily to your backpack or belt.
A few more tips for a stress-free holiday
Personalised ID tag: make sure your dog's ID tag is up to date with current contact details and, if necessary, medical information. You never know where they'll end up after following a scent. 😉
First aid kit: pack a first aid kit for both you and your dog, with the essentials for minor injuries and emergencies. Include items such as plasters, antiseptic wipes and tweezers.
Protective dog boots: crossing rough terrain or hot pavements? Then consider giving your dog protective boots to shield their paws from injury and discomfort.
Portable poo bags: stay responsible and eco-conscious with biodegradable poo bags. Always keep a supply to hand to keep public spaces clean during your trip.
With these gear and clothing tips in your holiday preparations, you and your dog can set off on your adventure with confidence and peace of mind. Put comfort, safety and fun first as you make unforgettable memories together in nature.
We wish you and your four-legged friend a great adventure!
