Caring for your dog in Exeter

Exeter-specific tips every dog owner should know

Exe estuary tides

The Exe Canal and watermeadows flood regularly. Check water levels after heavy rain and keep dogs away from fast-flowing sections.

Dartmoor access

Exeter's proximity to Dartmoor is a gift for dog owners. Stick to marked paths and keep dogs close around livestock and in high-mist conditions.

Devon summers

Exeter gets warm summers. Carry water on walks and use shaded riverside paths during the hottest parts of the day.

Dog-friendly city

Exeter is wonderfully dog-friendly. Many pubs and cafes in the Cathedral Quarter and Topsham village welcome well-behaved dogs.
