Activities

As much as we like to think that taking our dogs for walks or playing a game of fetch is enough to keep them physically fit, it’s easy to forget that dogs are highly intelligent and require mental stimulation too. Below are some suggestions of where you and your best friend can go, and things they can do to keep their minds and bodies stimulated.

DOG PARKS

For dogs that like to socialise, a secure dog field or park is the perfect way for them to get some off-lead exercise and let off some steam. And if they’re dog reactive, you can always hire a field for private use.

DOG SWIMMING POOLS

Some dogs just adore the water and there are places around the UK where your dog can take the plunge, splash around and have gallons of fun. Just remember to take a towel!

DOG DAYS OUT

Our dogs are part of the family, and there are lots of places where dogs are very welcome. So why not take them with you the next time you’re out exploring.

DOG FRIENDLY HOLIDAYS

For those who like to get away from it all with their doggy companions, here are some ideas for that perfect, extra-special getaway.

DOG FRIENDLY BEACHES

With so many UK beaches closed to dogs during peak season, we thought it would be helpful to list those where our canine friends are still welcome.

DOG AGILITY

If you’ve got a healthy, active pooch, why not try out some canine agility? It’ll definitely keep you fit and it’s a fun, learning experience for your best friend.
