Caring for your dog in Dublin

Dublin-specific tips every dog owner should know

Tidal strand safety

Sandymount Strand and Bull Island have large tidal ranges. Check tides before visiting and keep your dog close as the tide comes in fast.

Phoenix Park deer

Phoenix Park has a wild deer herd. Dogs must be kept under close control near the deer and on a lead in Fifteen Acres during fawning season.

City pavement heat

Dublin pavements heat up quickly in summer. Test the surface with your palm before walking, and use shaded routes through parks.

Dog-friendly culture

Dublin is very dog-friendly. Many pubs, cafes, and shops welcome dogs, especially in areas like Stoneybatter and Ranelagh.
