Caring for your dog in Cardiff
Cardiff-specific tips every dog owner should know
River Taff safety
The Taff can rise quickly after heavy Welsh rain. Keep your dog on a lead near the river when water levels are high.
Cardiff Bay awareness
The barrage area at Cardiff Bay has steep edges. Keep your dog on a lead along the waterfront and near the lock gates.
Welsh weather readiness
Cardiff gets its share of rain. A waterproof dog coat and a towel by the door make walks more comfortable year-round.
Pontcanna Fields community
The fields between Pontcanna and Llandaff are a daily meeting point for Cardiff dog owners. Great for socialisation.
