Where to take your dog in Perth

Perth is a busy, bustling city in Western Australia. It enjoys all the benefits of a city but without the pollution and population of some of Australia’s other big cities. With more sunny days here than anywhere else in the country, the beach is a big hit with ‘Perthites’. The city itself has a booming bar and restaurant scene with an artsy edge and is a great place to grab a bite to eat. Whatever you’re into, you’re bound to find something fun to do with your dog in Perth.

Bayswater Riverside Gardens

This park offers something for everyone. There’s a playground, a dog beach, dog drinking fountain, shaded areas, BBQ spots, public loos and plenty of parking. The huge grassy area allows dogs to be off-leash and provides access to the river for your dog to splash around in.

Furbaby Grooming & Daycare

Offering trims, clips and professional styling services, this grooming parlour will keep your dog looking their best. They even offer doggy spa treatments and pamper packages which include exfoliation treatments and deep tissue massages. They also have an onsite daycare centre run by staff fully trained in canine behaviour so you know you’re leaving your precious pooch in the best hands possible.

Elixir Cafe

Offering mouthwatering dishes from morning until early evening, Elixir Cafe will keep both dogs and owners happy when they visit. Serving everything from pancakes to salads to burgers and even high tea if that’s your jam, dogs are welcome to join you on the outdoor patio. They’ve even got a doggy menu offering sausages, bacon and a puppachino.

Hillarys Dog Beach

This stretch of white sandy beach allows dogs to run free all year round. It joins up with the adjacent horse beach where dogs are still welcome but only leash-free at certain times. The water here is fairly calm and there are shower facilities onsite too. You can even shower your dog off! The car park has plenty of spaces and there’s a water fountain with a dog bowl at the bottom to help keep them well hydrated.

So whether you want to drop your dog off for a pamper session or get some exercise at the beach, you’ll find plenty of things to do with your dog in Perth.
