Caring for your dog in Dundalk

Dundalk-specific tips every dog owner should know

Mountain livestock

The Cooley Mountains have grazing sheep. Keep your dog on a lead near livestock, especially during lambing season in spring.

Bay mud safety

Dundalk Bay has extensive mudflats at low tide. Keep your dog away from deep mud which can be difficult to escape.

Exposed coast

The coast around Dundalk can be windy. A warm coat helps smaller breeds on exposed beach and mountain walks.

Blackrock community

Blackrock beach has an active dog-walking community. Morning walks are a great way for your dog to socialise.
