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