Everything You Need to Run With Your Dog (2024)

Help keep your pup hydrated while you're on the go with this ingenious water bottle. This bottle's design lets you pour some water into the attached bowl for your dog to lap up, and it's easy to seal again once they have quenched their thirst.

Don't feel like bringing a water bottle along for the ride? If you know you'll hit a water stop along your run, you can opt for a lighter-weight option, like this two-pack of BPA- and silicone-free collapsible bowls.

This hands-free leash attaches around your waist, and even has a pocket for doggy bags, treats, or your own essentials. The leash itself also has two bungee points, which help to prevent pulling.

If you have more than one dog, you will need more than one leash. This belt attaches leashes to either side of your waist, and has a large pocket in the middle with plenty of room for your phone, as well as extra storage on the sides.

Don't forget a doggy bag! These ones are made with eco-friendly, biodegradable ingredients, and are 100 percent leakproof, ensuring there will be no stinky surprises while you're running.

If you are running in low light with your pup, you'll want an accessory that keeps them visible. This reflective vest will make them easy to see without weighing them down.

For extra dark days, you may want to opt for a vest that does more than just reflect light, but actually lights up itself, like this one. It has five LED lights, and they're rechargeable, so you won't have to worry about replacing batteries.

Whether running on hot pavement, rough gravel, or snowdrifts, these booties will help protect your dog's precious paws. They have a rubber bottom, which helps give them extra grip, and are outfitted with adjustable Velcro straps that keep them snug and secure.

Rainy days don't have to put a full stop to your runs. This rain jacket covers most of your pup's body, and even has a hood to keep their head dry. While we can't promise it will prevent all wet dog smells, it can definitely help keep Fido comfortable.

The elements can take a toll on our skin—and the same is true for our dogs. The sensitive skin on a dog's nose is especially prone to getting dry and cracking in cold weather, but this organic, vegan Snout Soother stick can help. This balm can be rubbed directly on your pup's nose, helping to hydrate, protect, and restore their skin with every application.

Like their nose, your pup's paw pads are also at risk of damage when the weather gets colder and drier. And while boots are a great—and adorable—option, not all dogs will tolerate wearing them. This balm was designed to protect paws, and it's made with a combination of food-grade oils and waxes that are safe for your dog to lick.

Have a food-motivated pup? This drawstring treat pouch is great for attaching to a bag or belt loop for convenience on a run. It holds up to 0.35 liters of treats, and has a zippered pocket on the back that can hold small essentials, like a key or credit card.

You wouldn't jump on your bed with your running shoes on—and your dog's feet are no cleaner post-run. These wipes are gentle on their skin while allowing you to quickly and efficiently clean their paws before they go back inside the house.

Particularly if you plan on running in a more technical or dangerous area, it's a good idea to have a pet first aid kit on hand. This one contains everything you would need to treat minor cuts and abrasions or prevent further injury before getting them to a vet.

There are tons of options when it comes to dog harnesses, but this Ruffwear model is one of the best. It has a slim design, which allows your dog to have full range of motion while also being incredibly durable, making it both reliable and long-lasting.

Who says you should be the one to carry everything when you're on a run with your pup? This wearable, streamlined pack allows your dog to pull some of their own weight while you're out and about together. It has two zippered pouches on either side, as well as a built-in harness, helping you keep their gear streamlined.

If you like to drive to your running destinations, a seat cover is a must. this one has great coverage and is water-resistant, which makes it perfect for rainy runs or a dip in the creek.

Not only does this harness come in super cute colors, from basics like black and white to vibrant reds, blues, purples, and greens, but it also has super soft padding to ensure your pup's comfort when you're on the move. It also comes in sizes XS to L, which should fit the majority of dog breeds.

There's nothing like a nice hot shower after a winter run, but since your dog probably doesn't bathe nearly as often as you do, this heating pad can help get them toasty again without getting wet. This is also a great option for older dogs with achy joints.

Sure, this product isn't technically for your dog, but this running vest is a great way to carry hydration and small accessories for both you and your pup while running. This model can carry two bottles in front, and has a large zippered pocket in the back that's perfect for keeping a key, clicker, or treats secure.
