Fun Dog-Friendly Activities You Must Do in Dorset
The past year has been stressful for all of us, and that includes our animal friends. We used to be free to walk the streets and run around the park. We were stuck at home for months, where all we can do is sit around and wait for the joyous news that everything is back to what it used to be. Walks to the dog park are not as frequent as they were. Trips to the store have to be quick as possible.
Now, as we slowly adjust to the new normal and restrictions start to loosen bit by bit, we finally get a bit of freedom to travel. Of course, we are not leaving our pet dogs behind. And when you finally decide that you want to get on with your next trip, consider visiting the humble county of Dorset. Luck, there are a lot of dog-friendly activities you and your pup will surely enjoy. Here are our picks:
- Take a relaxing walk by the beach.
Nothing says tranquillity than a stroll by the relaxing splashes of waves. It has been proven that walks are beneficial to humans and could also help destress our dogs. There are several beaches in Dorset where dogs are allowed to visit, including Mudeford Sandbank, Bowleaze Cove, and Streamer Point Beach.
- Enjoy a beautiful picnic at the park.
You have been stuck at home for so long that a quiet outdoor picnic would be great. Eggardon Hill is said to be one of the most beautiful picnic spots in Dorset. It is like hitting two birds with one stone since before you get to the spot, you have to walk through the beautiful sceneries the area has to offer.
- Go on a nature walk.
Honestly, most walk that you would be taking in Dorset can be considered as nature walks as beautiful sceneries surround the place. Wareham Forest Tourist Park is a must-visit for dog owners because it also has an enclosed dog arena.
- Dine in a dog-friendly pub.
After a day of adventure, nothing beats a sound and complete meal that pubs in Dorset can offer you. The good thing is there are countless dog-friendly pubs around the area, like the Kings Arms Wareham.
Find a dog-friendly cottage in Dorset.
When visiting a foreign place for vacation, one major factor that would affect your entire experience is the place you are going to stay in with your puppy. Make sure to book an area that has complete amenities and, most significantly, dog-friendly. Fortunately, there are several dog-friendly cottages Dorset has. If you are looking for one, you may find it easy to check a website solely for dog-friendly cottages in the area.
You should consider other things for a cottage: the number of bedrooms you need, the location, budget, and the amenities you will need. Contact the owner as soon as possible to ask about their property and the inclusions that they can offer. Space, where your pets can roam around the house, is essential too.
Bottomline
Remember, your dog needs a relaxing vacation in the country, too — away from all the hustle and bustle. Your canine best friend deserves it as much as you do. However, travelling may not be pleasant for them. That is why it is essential that you do everything that you can to put them at ease. If you have done proper research, set a schedule you both can enjoy, and find a place where you can relax, the entire trip will surely be worth it.
