Caring for your dog in Cork

Cork-specific tips every dog owner should know

River Lee safety

The Lee flows through Cork city and can rise after heavy rain. Keep your dog on a lead near the river banks and avoid the water after storms.

Hilly terrain

Cork is built on hills. Vary your routes between flat riverside walks and hill climbs to keep your dog challenged without overexertion.

Atlantic weather

Cork gets plenty of rain year-round. A waterproof dog coat and a good towel for post-walk drying are essentials.

Dog-friendly Cork

Cork has a strong dog-friendly culture. Many cafes and pubs along the quays and in Douglas welcome dogs.
