Scotland is also known for its warm welcome, and on the following pages you’ll find a list of businesses who passionately believe that when you are ready for a bite to eat, a wander round the shops, or a place to rest your head at the end of your day – your dog shouldn’t be left out in the cold.

Due to the current lockdown across the UK, dog grooming business are currently not operational. I know a lot of dog owners have been worried until they are reopen how are they going to possibly groom their dog themselves especially if you have a dog like Baxter whose hair often grows in front of their eyes or gets knotty and matted around the feet.
We are teaming up with the lovely Kimberly though from Bark & Beauty who is located in the Bridge of Earn area of Perthshire to help you out! Kimberly is going to release some videos that will give advice and helpful tips on how to safely give your dogs mini grooms at home!

I know these aren’t dogs but this has really brightened my day!
With the recent lockdown, a herd of wild goats has been seen by local residents running through the streets of Llandudno in Wales
The mountain goats, which normally spend their time on the Great Orme, have been trotting out in front of cars, running through the streets at night and nibbling flowers in people's gardens 😆😆😆
Hope this makes you smile today too! ❤️
