Cockermouth is an amazing town and virtually all the shops and cafe’s are doggie friendly - one Beatford’s (now Lowther Lounge Cafe) even gave my little dog Millie’s her own cushion to sit on and a biscuit each time we went. Rendezvous is another where Millie is especially welcomed with her own ‘hello’ and a dog biscuit. It makes such a difference to be able to take my best friend with me when I go shopping. Thank you Cockermouth for being such a great doggie friendly place to live and visit.

I am a shopkeeper and am dog friendly. People bring their dogs with them and why should they miss out on all that our town has to offer if they cannot access some places. Dogs bring so much more than a waggy tail to small independent business.
Cait Carruthers, September 2025
Cockermouth Town is a warm and welcoming place for the local and furry visitors! Cafes and pubs for them to visit, parks for them to run around and it isn't too busy so they are not overwhelmed. I manage a local animal charity shop Oak Tree Animals Charity and I always make sure there is fresh water a selection of buscuits a warm welcome and a fully stocked dog section for my best customers to grab a bargain lead, harness, new jacket or a toy. The best part of my job is seeing my yearly fluff balls coming for a return holiday to my lovely home town.
