Let’s be honest: dog walking can go from dreamy to disaster in seconds. You’ve got treats in one pocket, poop bags in another, phone in hand, keys somewhere deep in your coat, and your dog pulling like a sled team. That’s exactly why thousands of UK dog owners are switching to a dedicated dog walking bag.
A proper dog walking bag keeps everything you need in one place – organised, accessible, and stylish enough to wear even when you’re not holding a lead. Whether you're heading to the park, beach, woods or just around the block, it’s your new best friend (after your dog, of course).

Let’s start with the basics. A purpose-designed dog walking bag gives you:
Our bestselling Create Your Own Dog Walking Bag is the perfect example. It’s got:
Plus, you can choose from dozens of stunning strap designs – from Oxford Tweed to Mocha Leopard, letting you match your walk look to your pup’s vibe.
If you're after an all-in-one solution, check out our ready-made dog walking bag bundles. These include the full setup: bag, pouch, and strap – pre-picked and perfect for gifting (or self-gifting).
Coming up next: what to actually pack inside your bag to stay prepared on every walk – no matter the weather, terrain, or chaos level.
You’ve got the bag. Now what goes in it? A well-packed dog walking bag isn’t just about convenience – it’s about being prepared for every situation, from treat emergencies to unexpected messes.
Training on the go? Always carry a stash of your dog’s favourite treats in a secure container or pouch. Our clip-on treat pouches are designed to match your bag and keep goodies fresh without crumbs in your lining.
This one’s non-negotiable. Whether you carry a full roll or just a couple for short walks, always bring extras. Our bags feature built-in space or pair beautifully with our Poop Pocket holders for quick access.
Keep your dog hydrated – especially in summer or after high-energy walks. Our collapsible bowls fit easily inside your walking bag and rinse clean in seconds.
Every Bailey & Coco dog walking bag is made to fit your daily essentials too. One compartment is designed specifically to hold your phone (yes, even the Pro Max), while the others handle your cards, keys, and even lip balm.
Our most organised customers also stash a small towel, hand sanitiser, or even a fold-up rain poncho. Trust us – it’s better to have it and not need it than the other way around.
Every ready-made bundle comes with everything you need to start right away. And if you’re building your own, explore our bag accessories collection to customise your setup.
Up next: which bag is right for you? We break down all the options – from custom crossbody sets to ready-to-go bundles and sleek bumbags.
Every walk is different – and so is every dog parent. Whether you’re a minimalist, an over-packer, or a weekend adventurer, there’s a dog walking bag setup that fits your style. Let’s break down your options:
Our most popular choice by far. Pick your base colour (black or latte) and add your favourite strap from our huge collection – tweed, colour pops, or seasonal prints. Every Create Your Own Dog Walking Bag includes:
It’s ideal for everyday use and gives you full control over your look.
Need a no-fuss solution? Our ready-made bundles come pre-packed with perfectly paired bags and straps. They’re a favourite for gifts and dog parents who want to grab-and-go without overthinking it.
Don’t need the full bag? Our Magnetic Snap Dog Walking Bum Bags are lightweight, compact, and made for hands-free ease. Still roomy enough for treats, your phone, keys and poop bags – but with fewer frills and more freedom.
Already have a bag? Just need an upgrade? Check out our full line of dog walking bag accessories – from spare straps to additional pouches and tennis ball clips.
Whatever your choice, all our bags are made to be mixed, matched and loved. They’re built for durability, with gold hardware, reinforced stitching, and stylish finishes that don’t scream “dog gear.”
Next: a side-by-side comparison of bumbags vs crossbody bags – so you can find your perfect walking style.
Trying to decide between a crossbody bag and a bum bag for your walks? Both styles have their fans – and both are available in the Bailey & Coco lineup. Here’s how they compare so you can pick the right fit for your lifestyle.
Our signature style. The crossbody dog walking bag is designed for dog parents who carry a little bit of everything. Features include:
They’re ideal for longer walks, multi-dog households, or anyone who wants a “bag for life” that handles park visits, town strolls, or even brunch.
Need to travel light? Our bum bags offer a more compact, no-fuss option. They feature:
These are ideal for training sessions, quick walks, or hot summer strolls where you don’t want to carry too much. Plus, with colours like “Olive It Hot” and “We’re Jammin’,” they’re as bold as they are practical.
Feature | Crossbody Bag | Bum Bag |
---|---|---|
Storage Capacity | High | Medium |
Style | Classic + Customisable | Sporty + Trendy |
Wear Position | Crossbody or Shoulder | Waist or Crossbody |
Best For | Everyday & All-Day Use | Quick Walks & Travel |
The good news? There’s no wrong choice. Many of our customers own both and switch depending on the day. Either way, you’ll never go back to using coat pockets and carrier bags again.
Now that you know your options, it’s time to shop your perfect setup and complete the look with must-have accessories.
Ready to upgrade your dog walk setup? Explore our full range of beautifully made, brilliantly organised bags designed for every type of walk and every kind of dog.
Whether you're chasing muddy paws through a field or heading to town with your pup in tow, our dog walking bags have your back (and your waist, and your treats, and your phone).
