Keep Your Dog Dry On Walks With This Umbrella Leash

The see-through umbrella means you can see your dog while taking it for a walk while also protecting it from the elements

Worried about your dog getting wet when out in the rain? Don't worry because Wish have you - and them - covered.

For £12 ($17) plus delivery, small dog owners can now use just one ingenious invention to both walk their dog and keep them dry from the elements with the website's dog umbrella with leash.

The production description reads: "Pet Umbrella is a new item which can protect pets from grit, wind, snow, and rain, specifically designed for small dogs.

Wish

"It is fashionable, stylish, concise and easy to handle. With this pet umbrella, pets don't have to wear a raincoat on rainy days. With this, she looks lovely, pretty and elegant."

The handy see-through umbrella means that you can see what your pet's up to as you walk it, while the C-handle is adjustable for your favoured grip, while the lead has an adjustable range.

The leash opens up like a normal umbrella mechanism, pushing the leash away from you to open up the cover.

It does come with some warnings, however. Most notably, this is not for big dogs! It simply doesn't have the coverage to keep your big mutts completely dry, so only buy this if your pooch is small.

It's also important to gently open the umbrella so as not to scare your pet.

There is also the possibility that your dog may feel uneasy the first time they wear the umbrella. Apparently though it should only take a few walks before they get used to it.

Wish

Wish claims the product is 'stylish', but in truth it falls some way short of the classy range that Aldi put out last winter.

The highlight of their Essential Winter Range for Pets was undeniably the parka jacket which, for just £14.99, was a fully-lined jacket with a hood that kept your canine pal both warm, dry and looking mad fer it.

The jacket was part of a range modelled by Italian greyhound whippet Lloyd and also featured a Towel Coat and a fleecy Comfy Pet Bed.

Given we're approaching the summer, however, you might be thinking about you can make sure your dog can enjoy the sun to the maximum.

Lidl

One of the most popular items for pets over the last couple of years has been the Lidl Zoofari Dog Bed With Sun Shade which has a raised position and a cover over the lounger so your pooch can enjoy the sun without the risk of being burnt.

No sign yet, though, if they'll be available for summer 2021, although hopefully the weather will mean there'll be more call for it than the Dog Umbrella.
