Derby-specific tips every dog owner should know

River Derwent safety

The Derwent flows through Derby and can rise quickly after rain. Keep your dog on a lead near the river when water levels are high.

Derby gets cold, damp winters. Dry your dog after muddy walks and consider a warm coat for exposed park walks.
