For dog owners, like me, Gower is a fantastic playground to share with our furry friend(s). With miles and miles of uncrowded beaches and open country to explore, it could be the perfect holiday for you both. Explore dog friendly Gower with me and let me share a few tips with you to make sure that you make the best of your time here.
Not all the beaches allow dogs on them all year round. For the information on the dog friendly beaches, click here.
Some of the coastal areas are very rocky and unsuitable for paws. e.g. Crossing to Worms Head, Rhossili, going to Culver Hole in Port Eynon etc. Check the terrain on a map before you set off. Also some of the cliffs are very steep. Make sure your dog doesn’t go too close to the edge.
Always keep your dog under close control and on a lead when near livestock. Farmers have the legal right to shoot any dogs that they deem to be worrying their stock.
This what fun looks like!
If the worse happens and you get separated from your pet, there is a local website on which you can post a notice to raise awareness and if your pet is found, people can get in touch with you. Thankfully, most are reunited very quickly. Visit: Missing Dogs Team Wales
Finally, it is a privilege not a right, to be able to bring your dog on holiday, so please leave your accommodation as you would expect to find it:
Some accommodation providers do not take pets anymore because their property has not been respected in the past – which surely is a shame for everyone involved.
