Sarah Blythman, founder of Reg&Bob, takes a no-nonsense approach to dog ownership

At Reg&Bob, we believe dogs should being dogs — running, rolling, swimming and getting properly stuck into life - infact the wetter and muddier the better!

That’s why all our kit is built to last and easy to clean. No faff, no fuss - just stylish, practical, hard-wearing leads, collars, harnesses and bags that can handle whatever your dog throws at them.

So easy - even Jim could do it!

And the best part, looking after them is just as easy - who has time for handwashing a dog collar?

Here’s how to keep your Reg&Bob gear looking fresh and ready for the next adventure.

Reg&Bob collars, leads and harnesses

  • Ensure collar and harness clips are closed

  • Include dog mats, shammys or dog towels to protect clips & inside of machine

  • Machine wash at 30ºC

  • Air dry or use straight away—your choice!

Reg&Bob dog walking bags

  • Gently sponge off any marks using a clean cloth

  • Wipe inside of the bag to keep it fresh.

  • Machine wash the strap at 30ºC

SoggyDoggy drying shammy’s and mats

And while we’re here - nothing makes the big clean up easier than SoggyDoggy and as you’d expect looking after your SoggyDoggy drying shammys and mats is super easy too.

  • Simply give them a good shake outside to remove loose dirt and grit

  • Machine wash at 30ºC - add in an extra spin to help the drying process

  • Air dry outside or on a radiator

  • Fluff up with short tumble dry on low heat if needed

  • Do not use chlorine, bleach, fabric softeners

  • If washing the shammy on its own, you may need to wring out excess water first. Since it absorbs up to seven times its weight in water, it can become too heavy for the final spin cycle.
