Bury St Edmunds voted UK's most dog-friendly town
About 140 businesses in Bury St Edmunds are part of the town's own dog-friendly scheme.
The town has been recognised in the DogFriendly Awards.

Bury St Edmunds has been voted the most dog friendly town in the UK in this year’s DogFriendly Awards.

The Suffolk town received the award at a ceremony on 21 November at The Kennel Club Head Office in London.

The DogFriendly awards celebrate places and businesses that make an extra effort to be welcoming to dogs and their owners. Winners of the different categories are chosen through a public vote.

After finishing second last year in the most dog-friendly town/city category, Bury St Edmunds took top prize this year, seeing off competition from second-placed Eastbourne and third-placed Kelso.

The town runs its own dog-friendly scheme, a collaboration between Bury St Edmunds Town Council, Camp Tails Doggy Daycare, Our Bury St Edmunds BID, and Bury St Edmunds and Beyond.

Around 140 businesses, including shops, places to stay and visitor attractions have signed up to the initiative. Those taking part display a blue paw window sticker to show that they are dog friendly.

Jon Kay, managing director of Camp Tails Doggy Daycare, said: “I was honoured to represent Bury St Edmunds at the awards ceremony again and so proud to receive the award on behalf of local businesses and a passionate group behind the scenes going over and above to make our canine chums welcome.

“It was an amazing day, although we had our fingers and paws crossed right up until the announcement. I’d like to thank everyone who voted for us and recognised all that Bury St Edmunds does to be dog friendly.”
