Caring for your dog in Doncaster

Doncaster-specific tips every dog owner should know

River Don awareness

The Don can rise quickly after rain. Keep your dog on a lead near the river, especially on Hexthorpe Flatts towpath sections.

Wetland wildlife

Potteric Carr has nesting birds and sensitive wetland habitats. Keep your dog on the marked paths and avoid disturbing wildlife.

Yorkshire winter care

Doncaster winters can be cold. Dry your dog after muddy park walks and consider a coat for shorter-haired breeds.

Park community

Sandall Park has an active dog-walking community. Morning visits help your dog socialise with other local dogs.
