Creature Clothes
£46
A leather collar with your dog's name stamped into it — plain, gold or silver — made to order in England.
Why we picked itThe name is embossed into the leather itself rather than on a tag that can fall off, the edges are bevelled and hand-painted, and it comes in six sizes. A small British maker doing a classic properly.

From £31.50
A waterproof coat with a soft fleece lining, velcro fastening and a reflective star on the back, handmade in the UK in seven sizes.

Hiro + Wolf
From £30
A collar in bold patterned fabric from Dakar, Senegal, handmade in England. It comes in slim sizes from XS, which suit puppies and small dogs.

Help 'Em Up
From £84.99
A two-part neoprene harness with built-in handles at the shoulders and hips, designed for lifting and steadying a dog from underneath.
Why we picked itUnlike a towel or simple sling, it has separate handles over the shoulders and hips so the lift is spread under the dog's body.

Checked 5 October 2026
InnoPet
£429.95
A three-wheel folding stroller for dogs up to 25kg, with 12-inch tyres, a lockable front wheel, parking brake and two internal safety tethers.
Why we picked itMost pet strollers stop at small dogs; this one carries up to 25kg in a 67 x 35 x 56cm cabin. It folds one-handed, has a click-lock canopy and removable pad, and lets a dog that can no longer manage the whole walk still come along.
Checked 5 October 2026
Orbiloc
£23.99
A small Danish-made LED safety light for dark walks, waterproof and impact resistant, with steady-on and flashing modes.

Equafleece
See retailer for price
A four-legged Polartec fleece suit made in Devon, described as rainproof and breathable, with no buckles, straps or Velcro.
Why we picked itMade in Devon by an employee-owned company, in a long list of fits including Slim, Dachsie, Italian Greyhound, Pug, Frenchie and Bullie. The fabric is stated to be rainproof with a thermal rating of over 4 tog, and because Polartec does not fray the sleeves can be trimmed to length.
Checked 5 October 2026
Ruff and Tumble
£24.95
A pair of extra-long drying mittens in double-thickness natural cotton towelling, with a hanging loop; one size.
Why we picked itMitts make it much easier to dry legs, paws and undercarriage than a flat towel, and these are made from two layers of cotton towelling rather than microfibre. The extra length and hanging loop are practical touches for a boot room or car door.
Checked 5 October 2026
Stocky & Dee
From £48
A pink and burgundy wool tweed lead, fully lined in velvet with inner webbing for strength, handmade to order in the UK.
Why we picked itEach lead is made to order by the maker's own team of textile designers rather than bought in. The wool outer is backed by polypropylene webbing for strength and lined in velvet, and a 1.5m length or a cafe clip can be requested.
Checked 5 October 2026
Barc London
£85
A 2.5 metre double-ended lead in textured microfibre leather with reinforced internal webbing and two stainless steel locking clasps.
Why we picked itOne lead does several jobs - it can be shortened for close control, extended for open spaces, worn cross-body for hands-free walking or secured to a cafe table. The locking clasps and reinforced webbing are sensible details on a lead designed to be reconfigured.
Checked 5 October 2026
Teddy Maximus
From £31
A lightweight, machine-washable harness for small dogs, made in England, that fastens around the body with Velcro rather than going over the head.

Checked 5 October 2026

From £30
A 1.25m lead handmade in the UK from soft cotton weave with a lightweight aluminium clip; treble stitched and machine washable at 40 degrees.

Henry Wag
From £19.99
An absorbent microfibre bag that zips around a wet dog up to the neck, to contain mud and water on the journey home.

£32
A soft, flexible Italian leather collar in four puppy sizes with stainless steel hardware, handmade in England by Petiquette Collars.

Sporting Saint
From £9.98
A long training line in cushion polypropylene webbing with a clip, made in a Puppy 5m version and in 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m lengths.

Checked 5 October 2026
PitPat
£119
A 30g collar-mounted GPS tracker and activity monitor for dogs, waterproof to IP67, sold with no subscription.

Mud Daddy
£69.99
A portable 5-litre dog washer with a 2-metre hose and a rechargeable, one-button power brush for rinsing mud off at the car or back door.
Why we picked itIt carries its own water, warm or cold, so a dog can be rinsed before getting into the car. This version replaces hand pumping with a battery brush that the maker describes as giving a silent, gentle stream of water; a 2.5-hour charge is stated to give one to two hours of use. Mud Daddy describes itself as a Newcastle-based company.
Checked 5 October 2026
Long Paws
From £14.75
A stainless steel dog water bottle with a roller-ball top that releases a small sip each time the dog licks, so no bowl is needed.
Why we picked itThe ball seals between licks, so the bottle can go back in a bag without spilling and no water is tipped away afterwards. It comes in 250ml, 500ml and 750ml sizes with a carabiner clip, and the company describes it as a UK design.
Checked 5 October 2026
Dicky Bag
From £37
A washable 4mm neoprene pouch with an odour-sealing zip that carries used poo bags on a belt or lead until a bin is reached.
