Red Original’s Top Gifts For Dog Walkers 2024

Written by Luke Green /

If you’re looking for great gifts for the dog walkers in your life, you’ve come to the right place. Whether they’re strolling through the countryside or braving all-weathers with a lap around the block, dog owners spend an awful lot of time outdoors. The dog needs to be walked even in tough and wintry conditions - and trustworthy outdoor gear certainly makes these kinds of adventures more enjoyable.

At Red Original, we’re proud to stock an extensive range of equipment and accessories designed to make the lives of dog walkers easier and put the safety of their four-legged friend first. These thoughtful, high-quality items could be the perfect solution to your gifting woes this year. Here are our top picks.

Adventure Waterproof Backpack

Every dog walker needs a durable and practical backpack to carry essentials for both them and their pooch, whether that’s treats and leads or mid-layers and snacks. With this in mind, the Adventure Waterproof Backpack is first on our list of the top gifts for dog walkers this year. This high-quality backpack is designed to handle even the toughest outdoor conditions, with a totally waterproof Armour Tech construction and a sleek and ergonomic design. It features all of the pockets a dog owner could need, ensuring they can embark on some serious adventures in the company of their canine companion. 

Long Sleeve Alter EVO Pro Changing Robe

While you may initially associate changing robes with your friends who are watersport enthusiasts, they also make fantastic gifts for dog walkers! There’s nothing worse than being caught in a downpour during a walk, but wearing a waterproof changing robe like our Alter EVO Pro can completely transform the way your loved one views talking the dog out in all weathers. With its totally waterproof and windproof outer shell, peaked toggle hood and plush Sherpa lining, this market-leading changing robe offers dog walkers ultimate comfort no matter the conditions. Choose from one of 8 fresh colours, and give a gift that your nearest and dearest will love this year. 

Revolution 3-in-1 Waterproof Parka Jacket

Our Revolution Waterproof Parka is another awesome gift idea for dog lovers, particularly if you think they would prefer a dog walking coat with a more traditional jacket style. This changing robe and jacket hybrid is undoubtedly one of the most versatile outdoor jackets on the market, thanks to a clever 3-in-1 construction which can be tailored to different weather conditions throughout the year. It also offers more pockets than they’ll know what to do with - perfect for stocking up on supplies and ensuring nothing is left behind when heading out with the dog. If you want to guarantee that your gift choice will be used come rain or shine, you can’t go wrong with the Revolution Waterproof Parka.

Active Jacket

Stylish and functional, the Red Original Active Jacket for men and women is also one of our favourite gifts for dog walkers. This premium jacket is a brilliant outer layer in situations where a super cosy changing robe isn’t quite necessary, as it’s incredibly lightweight and packable but still features a 5000m Hydrostatic head and 5k waterproof rating. Whether they throw it on during a shower or keep it stowed in a bag for evening dog walks when a chill can appear, your nearest and dearest will love the versatility of this breathable, go-anywhere jacket. 

Dog Buoyancy Aid

If you’re looking for a unique gift idea or are buying for someone who quite literally takes their dog everywhere with them, check out our Dog Buoyancy Aid. This carefully created safety device allows pets to tag along on all kinds of water-based activities, including paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing. You can choose from red or blue designs, both featuring reflective strips to keep their pooch visible along with a strong grab handle and integrated lead attachment for optimum control. 

Eddy Recycled Polyester Beanie

You could also keep the dog lover in your life warm when out walking with our new Eddy Recycled Polyester Beanie. This cosy beanie is designed to be both comfortable and cosy, even in really chilly conditions, with optimum stretch and super-soft fabric. You can choose from a range of different colours to find a beanie that really suits your loved one’s sense of style, all while enjoying knowing that you’ve chosen a sustainable gift as each beanie is made from 100% recycled polyester. 

We hope that these gift ideas have given you plenty of inspiration for your shopping this year. If you need any more recommendations or have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team or explore our other gift collections online.
