Caring for your dog in Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough-specific tips every dog owner should know
North Sea climate
Middlesbrough's Teesside location brings cold winds. Keep dogs warm in winter and dry thoroughly after wet walks along the riverside.
Industrial riverfront
The Tees has industrial areas near the town. Keep to the designated riverside path and avoid letting dogs near industrial water outlets.
Winter conditions
Teesside can get cold snaps. Check paws for grit after winter walks and provide warm indoor spots for your dog during the coldest months.
Moors day trips
Sitters near the southern suburbs can easily access the North York Moors for outstanding day walks with your dog.
