Top Tips for Pub Walks with Dogs

  1. Call ahead on busy days to check dog-friendly areas are available
  2. Bring a towel — muddy dogs are welcome, but wiping paws helps
  3. Keep dogs on leads in pub areas unless told otherwise
  4. Check for livestock on walking routes, especially in lambing season
  5. Bring water and a bowl for the walk — not all pubs have outdoor bowls
