DOG owners in Droitwich are being invited to take part in the Great British Dog Walk at Hanbury Hall this April.

The dog walk raises money for the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, and is one of 10 taking place throughout the country at National Trust sites.

Marc Abraham, celebrity vet and animal welfare campaigner, said: “Providing sufficient daily exercise for your dog is vital for keeping them both happy and healthy. Lack of physical and mental stimulation can cause dogs to become bored or destructive, and may lead to further health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and arthritis.

“Exact amount of exercise required depends on age, breed, size, temperament, and health of your dog - so it's very important to check guidelines before setting out. The Great British Dog Walk is the perfect opportunity to get fit and healthy with your dog - whilst raising funds for a great cause."

The event at Hanbury Hall is taking place on Sunday, April 12. For more information, visit greatbritishdogwalk.org.
