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.
