Dog Alerts & Warnings
Unfortunately not everyone is as dog friendly as the places and businesses listed on this site, and indeed some people go out of their way to be unfriendly to not only the dogs but owners as well.
Through this page we will bring you alerts and warnings from around the country about places to avoid at any given time for the safety and protection of your four legged friend, e.g. where poisons or sharps have been hidden in grass or food, suspicious activities which may lead to dog theft, along with less sinister but equally worrying natural problems like sink holes and newly breeding adders.
There is no central register or system currently for the reporting of these types of things so we are very much reliant on our users and friendly contributing vets. If you know of a problem in your area or an update to an existing problem please let us know using the form provided or drop us an email at support@dogfriendlytogether.co.uk. We will happily credit any contributing dog related business e.g. vets, pet shops, trainers, with a link back to their website.

Dartmoor ALERT - Adders - Dartmoor
A dog owner faced a race against time to save her labrador following an adder bite whilst walking through a grassy area at Postbridge, Dartmoor. One dog yelped in paid and she noticed two large marks on her paw, and the dog was in distress. Vets treat with antivenom and very rarely will it cause death, especially with prompt treatment. There have been a number of reported cases so dog walkers should be aware.
