Caring for your dog in Newcastle
Newcastle-specific tips every dog owner should know
North-east winds
Newcastle faces cold winds from the North Sea. A warm coat for short-haired breeds is essential during winter walks on the Town Moor.
Tyne river awareness
The River Tyne has strong currents, especially near the bridges. Keep your dog on a lead along the Quayside and near river edges.
Beach seasons
Some Northumberland beaches have dog restrictions during summer months. Check seasonal rules before heading to the coast.
Jesmond Dene community
Jesmond Dene has a welcoming dog-walking community. Regular visits help your dog socialise and make friends.
