Rainy Walks Risk for Dogs | Leicester News
Description
Rain’s finally returning to the UK after a long dry spell — but it’s not all good news for dog owners. With rivers swelling and currents intensifying, hidden dangers like sewage and unstable banks pose serious risks. Dog-related water incidents are on the rise, with over 300 recorded between 2021 and 2025 — and August was the deadliest month for water fatalities in 2025. Dogs Trust is urging owners to heed their “If in Doubt, Keep Your Dog Out” campaign, dry pets thoroughly after walks, and never jump in to rescue a dog. Stay safe — the best rescue is the one you avoid by thinking first.
