Wiltshire: Newly launched dog friendly directory

 

This scheme is aimed at encouraging shops, restaurants, accommodation providers and other local businesses to become more welcoming to dogs and their owners. By enabling dogs to visit a wider range of public places, this helps reduce the time dogs spend alone at home and has benefits such as social interaction and mental stimulation. This encourages dogs to express their natural behaviours, contributing to improved behaviour and a higher quality of life for both dogs and their owners.
