Dog Friendly Angus and Dundee

Make Angus more dog friendly

Dog Friendly Angus and Dundee is a community initiative being run by a fantastic  group of local volunteers with support from the Angus Tourism Cooperative.

It started off with a facebook group and now have over 7000 members across social media platforms – Dog Friendly Angus and Dundee. It hopes to engage with as many local, national and international dog lovers who live, work or visit Angus and help them  discover all the great experiences in Angus to enjoy with your four legged friends. So please make your way to the Facebook  or Instagram pages and get barking about what you think a dog friendly Angus looks like. Tell us all about what you love and what could be improved too!

  2. Educate our businesses on how to be more dog friendly.
  3. Engage with influencers locally and UK wide to help promote Dog Friendly Angus and Dundee.
