Bath Spa Care Dogs
We have a growing number of accredited Care Dogs that get involved in events, drop-in sessions and wellbeing walks. Why not take a study break and spend some time with them? All of our Care Dogs are assessed and registered through
Canine Concern
, to make sure they are well-behaved… most of the time, at least!
Follow #BathSpaDogs
Upcoming events will be shared on our social channels, or you can check out the events section on
