Rainy Day Dog Walks: How to Keep Your Pup Safe, Dry & Visible

If you live in Australia, you know that some months can be extra wet — but your dog still needs their daily exercise. With the right approach and gear, rainy walks can be safe, comfortable, and even fun.

The Challenges of Wet Weather Walks

Rainy walks can bring:

  • Reduced visibility for cars, cyclists, and pedestrians
  • Slippery paths and puddles
  • Mud and water soaking into your dog’s coat
  • Chilled or uncomfortable pets

That’s why having weather-ready gear is just as important as a good umbrella.

Stay Visible in the Rain

Overcast skies and heavy rain can make it harder for others to see your dog — even in the daytime.
HAPPUP’s LED collars and harnesses help:

  • Shine bright in low light or rain
  • Keep your pup visible from all angles
  • Work even in misty or foggy weather
  • Recharge easily via USB (no batteries!)
