Limerick-specific tips every dog owner should know
Shannon safety
The Shannon is Ireland's longest river and flows strongly through Limerick. Keep your dog on a lead near the riverbanks, especially after rain.
Atlantic weather
Limerick gets its fair share of rain from the Atlantic. A waterproof coat for your dog and a good towel are essentials year-round.
Forest park livestock
Curraghchase has deer and woodland wildlife. Keep your dog on a lead on designated trails to protect the forest habitat.
Riverside community
