Dog - COVID-19 update

During lockdown it's important to keep your dog in your bubble, even when you go for walks. This helps you and your furry friend to stay safe by staying two metres away from other walkers. Even in an off-lead area or a designated dog park, help fight COVID-19 by keeping your dog on the lead and in your bubble.
