Caring for your dog in Sheffield

Sheffield-specific tips every dog owner should know

Peak District livestock

The moors around Sheffield have sheep and cattle. Keep your dog on a lead near livestock, especially during lambing season from March to May.

Hilltop weather exposure

Sheffield's hills and moorland edges are exposed. Wind chill drops rapidly at altitude. Bring a coat for your dog on winter hill walks.

Stream safety after rain

Porter Brook and Rivelin can swell quickly after heavy rain. Avoid river crossings when water levels are high.

Green city advantage

Sheffield has more trees per person than any UK city. Use the varied terrain to give your dog different walks and stimulation.
