- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
We've created the Pooch Passport in partnership with natural pet food maker Forthglade, so your dog(s) can walk their way towards a special treat while visiting some of the top dog-friendly places in our care.
Pick up a Pooch Passport from participating places and every time you visit a different place together between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026, you can collect a stamp.
The Pooch Passport is valid from 1 September 2025 to 28 February 2026. Any stamps collected before or after these dates will not be valid for the treat(s). Stamps can be collected during the published opening times for each place only. Please check the webpage of the participating place before you visit.
You and your dog(s) can collect stamps from 133 participating places in our care across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
If you're visiting places in England and Wales, once you’ve collected six stamps, your dog(s) can get a free packet of natural dog treats. When you collect twelve stamps from your visits together, they can get a free loyal explorer dog tag. Any visits you make to different places in Northern Ireland will also count towards the six or twelve stamps required to claim the dog treats or loyal explorer dog tag respectively. See terms and conditions for participating places.
