Caring for your dog in Ennis
Ennis-specific tips every dog owner should know
River Fergus
The Fergus flows through Ennis and can flood in winter. Keep your dog away from the river during high water events.
Burren walks
The Burren is on Ennis's doorstep. The limestone pavement can be sharp on paws, so check your dog's feet after walks.
Atlantic proximity
Ennis is close to the Clare coast. Wind and rain can arrive quickly, so bring a waterproof coat for your dog.
Fleadh culture
Ennis is a centre for traditional music. During festivals, book your sitter early as the town gets busy.
