Best gifts for dog walkers
Kicking us off: it's the dog walking clan. We think these dog walking gift ideas are the perfect way to show the dog walker in your life just how much you appreciate them.
For instance, take the Cocopup London sage leopard poop bag holder. There’s no better way to help your favorite dog walker stay on top of things (so to speak), and truly, we don’t think we’ve ever seen a poop bag dispenser look so… well, chic. Dog walking is no mean feat, which is why the Joules dog print wellies will come in super handy for dog walkers - especially on those cold, wet, winter mornings! - while a reusable lint roller is sure to go down a treat, all-year-round.
Of course, if you’re looking for dog walker gifts that are a little less practical (and a lot more luxury!), then this so-called 'Dog Walker Survival' kit - complete with a hand balm, lip balm, candle, and body cream - could be just the ticket. For extra measure, though, we’ve thrown in a few more gifts for dog walking pet lovers below - and here they are:
