I Found My New Favorite Dog Walking Bag, and It’s Perfect for Long Summer Walks

You can’t forget to bring water when walking your dog in hot weather. Dogs get overheated easily, especially if they have a thick coat, so having water on hand is essential. While I usually just carry a dog water bottle in my hand, I recently found a bag that makes it so much easier to take with me: the Calpak Water Bottle Holder. Even if you don’t have a dog, it’s useful for carrying your own water, too, whether you’re going on a summer walk, heading to the beach, or packing for your next vacation.

With an adjustable crossbody strap, the Calpak bag makes it easy for me to be hands-free while walking, which is particularly helpful when I already have my dog’s leash in one hand. The bag has four exterior pockets (one zippered and three slip pockets) to hold a variety of belongings, too. I was able to put my wallet and keys in the zippered pouch, and I put my phone in the back slip pocket for easy reach.

The top of the bag has a drawstring closure to keep your bottle securely in the bag. My dog’s water bottle didn’t slide out, even when I bent down to pick up dog poop. The inside is also insulated to keep your drink cool, and it’s water-resistant, which means you don’t have to worry if liquids spill in the bag. Made of a durable nylon-blend material, the bag is so easy to clean, too: Just wipe it down with water. 

You can shop the bag in 13 colors, including summer-ready shades like powder blue, light pink, lavender, and peach. There are some fun patterns to choose from, too, like gingham, daisies, and checkered. 

Not only is the bag great for long summer walks (with or without a dog), but it would also be perfect for traveling. While walking through the airport or train station, you can keep a water bottle handy while still having your hands free to hold carry-on luggage or a duffle bag. Or if you’re planning to be out all day touring around different locations, you can stay hydrated on the go.

“This is just the perfect water bottle holder/purse to bring on a hike, walk, travel etc.,” said one reviewer. “I go to Disney World frequently, and this is my purse at the park. It holds everything I need, and the design is so cute.”
