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.
