Caring for your dog in Cambridge

Cambridge-specific tips every dog owner should know

River Cam safety

The Cam has punts, rowers, and swimmers. Keep your dog on a lead near the Backs and busy river sections. Quieter stretches near Grantchester are safer.

Cattle on commons

Midsummer Common and other Cambridge commons have grazing cattle in summer. Keep your dog under close control near livestock.

Cycling awareness

Cambridge is a cycling city. Keep your dog on a lead near shared-use paths to avoid collisions with cyclists.

Dog-friendly culture

Cambridge pubs along the river are very dog-friendly. The Granta, the Green Dragon, and many Mill Road cafes welcome dogs.
