7 reasons to take your dog to Brighton
Brighton is 'Britain's Most Dog Friendly Place' according Cesar Dog Food so it must be the ideal place to take your pooch! Here are seven reasons to take your dog to the seaside town.
1
Walking
There are an impressive 98 parks in Brighton and Hove, so that's plenty of beautiful places for walkies with your dog. Not all the parks allow dogs though, so check before you visit and don't forget the poo bags!

Eating
Those big brown eyes won't be begging for your fish & chips on the beach with all the dog friend cafes in the area. The Chubby Chops Dog Cafe in Hove is co-owned by French Bulldog Bonnie (pictured on their Twitter account @doggycaffe) and managed by a black Labrador called Dalhia! They offer a separate menu for dogs including apple and carrot dumplings and chicken flavour ice-cream. The Ginger Dog, Koba Bar & Bistro and Metrodeco all welcome dogs too.
