Caring for your dog in Reading

Reading-specific tips every dog owner should know

Thames safety

The Thames has strong currents and weirs near Reading. Keep your dog on a lead near the river, especially around Caversham Lock.

Kennet and Avon Canal

The canal towpath is ideal for flat dog walks but narrow in places. Step aside for cyclists and keep your dog close.

Country park variety

Dinton Pastures and California Country Park are both near Reading. Rotate between them for variety.

Commuter-friendly care

Many Reading dog owners commute to London. A regular Petme sitter can provide consistent daily walks whilst you are at work.
