It’s the time of year when nobody wants to walk their dog. It’s wet and cold outside. And when you come back inside, you bring wet and muddy fur-balls back with you. The following products can help you weather the wet and maybe even enjoy being caught in the rain.
#1 – Weatherbetta Coats
These coats are truly the best when it comes to outerwear for a dog. Made by the people that make horse blankets, they have several weights depending on the warmth needed. They are reasonably priced as well.
#2 – Soggy Doggy Doormat
This is the ultimate doormat for those that deal with mud, snow, rain, grass clippings, etc. Their secret? Each “noodle” in the Soggy Doggy Doormat is made from millions of textured, ultrafine strands woven together, to create greater surface area and absorption.
#3 – Soggy Doggy Super Shammy
Like their doormat, the shammy by Soggy Doggy is the ultimate water absorber. It has convenient hand pockets that make drying your dog easier and is large enough for even giant breeds.
#4 – Umbrella Leash
Have a dog that doesn’t like a coat? Try this out instead. It may look funny, but it will save you from having to smell wet dog three times a day.
#5 – Smartphone Gloves
These handy gloves will not only keep your hands warm and toasty, but you can use your phone with them on. Ever tried to hold a phone, a leash, and take your gloves off? These make life a bit simpler.
#6 – Safe Paw Ice Melter
Safe Paw™ Ice Melter is 100% salt-free and is guaranteed pet and child safe. Not only that, but it’s safe for plants and won’t damage decking, asphalt, concrete, or pavers. Once the ice is melted, it greats a “shield” that prevent ice from sticking to the surface for up to 3 days, making shoveling easier.
#7 – Throver
What’s a Throver you ask? Only the best thing in the world! Made from Crypton fabric, it’s a throw (blanket) that acts like a tarp. It’s perfect for covering your car seats from muddy paws or to use as an outdoor mat on rainy afternoons.
#8 – Earthbath Wipes
These all-natural wipes are a must for in-between bath clean-ups. Getting mud and dirt off your dog with a towel alone won’t cut it. These will help clean him off and alleviate that wet dog smell.
#9 – Everest Dog Backpack
If you’re the type that doesn’t let a little rain, mud, or snow get in the way for your weekly hikes then you need a waterproof doggy backpack. The Everest Dog Backpack is completely waterproof with waterproof zippers.
#10 – Umbrella Hat
Like the umbrella leash, this may seem silly, but you only have so many hands, and if you are walking your dog, holding your phone, and maybe even your coffee, you have no hands for that umbrella. And what do you do with it when you have to pick up after your dog? This will keep you dry and your hands-free.
