Caring for your dog in Preston

Preston-specific tips every dog owner should know

River Ribble safety

The Ribble can have strong currents below Avenham Park. Keep your dog on a lead near the water, especially after rain.

Bowland livestock

The Forest of Bowland has grazing sheep. Keep your dog on a lead near livestock, especially during lambing season from March to May.

Lancashire rainfall

Preston receives significant rainfall. A good waterproof coat for your dog and towel at the door keep walks comfortable year-round.

Ribble community

Avenham Park has a welcoming daily dog-walking community. Regular visits help your dog socialise.
