Rainy Day Dog Walk: What to Pack in Your Bum Bag

Quick answer

Pack a waterproof dog walking bum bag with a dry towel, sealed treats, extra poop bags, a phone pouch, and a mini first-aid kit to stay comfortable and prepared on rainy day walks.

5-step rainy-day packing list

1. Pack a dry microfiber towel: Fold a small microfiber towel and place it in the main compartment. Use it to dry your dog's paws or coat before getting into the car or home. Avoid using a cotton towel—it stays wet and takes up too much space.
2. Seal treats in a waterproof pouch: Transfer your dog's favorite training treats into a small ziplock bag or silicone pouch. This prevents them from turning into a mushy mess. Skip loose treat bags—they leak and attract dirt.
3. Double-bag poop bags: Carry a roll of poop bags in a small dry pouch or inside a second bag. Wet poop bags can tear and leak onto other gear. Do not store poop bags loose in the same pocket as treats or your phone.
4. Use a phone pouch or dry bag: Place your phone in a small dry bag or a zippered pouch before putting it in the bum bag. Even waterproof bags can get wet on the outside. A simple ziplock bag works as an emergency phone protector.
5. Add a mini first-aid kit: Pack a few adhesive bandages, antiseptic wipes, and a small roll of gauze in a separate pocket. Rain can hide sharp objects on the trail. Check the kit every season—replace any used or expired items.
