Pepper's guide - dog-friendly Whitstable

Hi friends, I’m Pepper and I live in Whitstable, Kent, in the UK, on planet Earth!

Whitstable is a great place to live - with lots of beaches to splash around on and nearby countryside to run around in.

I also love the many pubs and shops to sniff around in - but strangely some don’t let dogs in. Imagine that!

So, here’s my guide on great Whitstable places where I’m allowed to take my mum and dad - so your dog can take you, too!

I’d love to hear more about your favourites, so we can add them here.

All my love and licks,

Pepper
