Caring for your dog in Leicester

Leicester-specific tips every dog owner should know

Bradgate Park deer

Bradgate Park has free-roaming deer. Dogs must be kept on leads at all times within the park to protect the herd.

Canal and river safety

The Grand Union Canal and River Soar run through Leicester. Keep your dog on a lead near water edges, especially on narrow towpaths.

Midlands weather

Leicester has cold, damp winters. Dry your dog after muddy walks in the meadows and consider a coat for smaller breeds.

Park community

Knighton Park and Victoria Park have regular dog-walking communities. Morning walks are a great way to socialise your dog.
