Caring for your dog in Sunderland

Sunderland-specific tips every dog owner should know

North Sea wind chill

Sunderland's coast faces the North Sea. Wind chill can be significant, especially on the seafront. A warm coat helps smaller breeds.

Beach tides

Roker Beach has rocky sections exposed at low tide. Watch for rock pools and keep your dog away from harbour walls.

Country park variety

Herrington and Rainton Meadows are close together. Alternate between them for different walking experiences.

Seafront community

Roker and Seaburn have an active dog-walking community. Early morning beach walks are a great way to socialise.
