2025 Dog Product Trend Guide

2024 brought some pretty big changes to the pet world. Hands-free leads became bestsellers, and matching walk sets took over social media. People want products that make life easier and look good while doing it. So, what’s sticking around in 2025, and what’s new? Let’s break it down.

Hands-Free Leads: Still Going Strong

Hands-free leads were a game-changer in 2024, and they’re not going anywhere. If you haven’t tried one yet, imagine grabbing your coffee, texting your friends, and walking your dog all at the same time ... without juggling a leash. Our hands free lead makes it easy to stay on top of your day while keeping your pup right by your side.

Whether it’s a quick errand, a brunch date, or just a stroll in the park, these leads are the ultimate convenience. Plus, they’re designed to pair perfectly with matching walk sets because who doesn’t love a coordinated look? Check out what your leash colour choice says about you.

Reward Over Rules

Scolding is out, and positive reinforcement is in. Rewarding good behaviour makes training fun for both you and your dog. Treat pouches are quickly becoming a must-have, and the ST ARGO Treat Pouch makes it effortless to bring treats on the go.

It’s sleek, easy to carry, and keeps those high-value snacks within reach—whether you’re at the park or just working on basic commands at home.

Wearable Pet Gear

Dog gear that doubles as something you’d actually wear? Yes, please. Walk belts and crossbody dog bags are making it easier to carry everything: treats, your phone, poop bags, even your keys ... without needing extra pockets or a bulky bag. Louis Vuitton is leading the way in this category of pet owner wear with their new collection... BUT, ST ARGO is not far behind, so keep an eye out for our collection of wearable pet gear in 2025.

Eco-Friendly and Stylish

Sustainability is becoming more of a priority, and it’s great to see more brands stepping up. Think recycled materials, biodegradable packaging, and products that are as kind to the planet as they are to your dog.

What to Watch For

Personalised Gear: Collars, tags, and leashes in trending colours with customisation options. Looking for customisable options, check etsy.

Travel Essentials: Compact gear for road trips or flights with your pup. Make sure to check on local laws and regulations for travelling with your doggo.

Tech for Dogs: Smart collars and health trackers are gaining traction.
