Julia and her pooch Iroh have been hitting the bush trails and coastal adventures to put the full range of DOOG gear for dogs (and their humans) to the test.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adventuring with a four-legged friend brings about a lot of joy \u2013 but also a fair few of its own unique challenges.<\/p>\n

Where a weekend microadventure would normally entail a bit of planning (how\u2019s the weather looking?, are there campsites available to book?, which bakery will we stop at for a pie?), this ramps all the way up<\/a> with a dog in tow. Is it dog friendly? Does the track include any steep stair sections or vertical climbs? What about ticks and snakes?<\/p>\n

And planning includes gear, which is where DOOG comes in. DOOG<\/a> (short for Dog Owners Outdoor Gear) is a local Aussie brand designed by dog owners, for dog owners. The gear is crafted with the outdoor environment in mind, and stands out from your standard pet store fare in its suitability for real-deal adventures.<\/p>\n

Harnesses are designed with stainless steel and neoprene (in case of impromptu, or planned swims), belt bags and stash pockets for leads mean handy access to poo bags (useful to ensure you\u2019re leaving no trace on the trail), and a chunk of the range is designed for hands-free use. Doesn\u2019t hurt that it\u2019s stylish as hell, either.<\/p>\n

Why am I the right person to do this review?<\/h2>\n

Do I adventure? Check. Do I adventure with a dog? Also check. Jokes aside, I quickly became second mum to Very Good Boy, Iroh, a few years back when my best mate\/housemate brought him into our lives. And it\u2019s been three years of learning how to adapt exploring to a pooch since then.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve done a lot of trial and error in that time, both across the adventures themselves, and with the gear we take. With every hike, ocean swim, and campsite stay, I\u2019ve learnt what works (both for us and Iroh), and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Quick Specifications<\/h2>\n

First Up, Iroh<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

English Cocker Spaniel, 17kg, roughly medium-sized, looks like he\u2019d say \u2018Surf’s up\u2019 if he could speak. I\u2019d be remiss getting into this all without noting that (as for humans), gear for dogs is highly subjective. Iroh\u2019s short legs mean we don\u2019t head on crazy long hikes (3-5km is the max), and he\u2019s got some specific behaviours which have influenced how I\u2019ll be reviewing the DOOG range.<\/span><\/p>\n
