A new website is helping dog owners easily find places they can go with their pet. Dog Furiendly lists attractions in Wales where dogs are welcome.

It covers shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and visitor attractions. Adele Pember set up the site after struggling to find places to take her Jack Russell cross, Charlie, who suffers from separation anxiety.

The Cwmbran entrepeneur said: “A lot of dogs like Charlie don’t like being away from their owners. It’s heart-breaking when you have to close the door and look at those puppy dog eyes. Many owners in Wales face this tough situation every single day.

“Since launching Dog Furiendly in October, we’ve helped so many people to find new places, our community is growing every day.” She plans to expand the site to cover Ireland, Scotland and England.

Some of the surprising dog friendly spots she has come across include:

Llandaff Ghost Walk– Dogs are comforting so taking your best friend on a spooky tour of Llandaff is a good idea.

The Bell pub in Caerleon– Fancy a bit to eat? Why should your dog miss out? This lovely spot offer a three-course meal for dogs. Read about it in this Argus story.
