The Mud Pack

If you've ever had a lead snap, a treat pouch spill, or come home soaked to the bone after a rainy pack walk, you know that the wrong gear can ruin your day. As professional walkers, our gear isn’t just for convenience, it's for safety, control, and durability. Every item on this list is a staple in our daily routine. We’ve tested them across miles of trails, in torrential rain, and with dogs that pull like freight trains. Whether you are a fellow pet professional looking to upgrade your setup or an active dog owner who wants gear that actually lasts, these are our absolute non-negotiables.

We’re a dog walking company based in Aberdeen, and we spend a LOT of time with dogs 😅. So we know what they love. This list has all our top picks, treats, toys, food, leads, harnesses, collars, and our favourite local walks. Everything here has been tested by real dogs (and approved with waggy tails). We use these items every day, and we only recommend what works. Durable toys, comfy gear, and tasty snacks that even fussy dogs go for. If you’re looking for tried-and-true dog essentials, you’re in the right place. Let us know if you have a favourite we should check out!
