Pups protected from the weather with new dog umbrella

At Smythen Farm, we love having dogs come to stay at our dog friendly cottages. North Devon has so much for us and our furry friends to explore that, when the weather turns, no-one wants to be cooped up indoors simply so we don’t get soaking wet! This is where the new Dog Umbrella comes in, allowing dogs to join their owners in braving the elements and roaming the North Devon countryside whatever the weather. The Dog Umbrella is made by leading dog fashion brand Puppia, and combines a pet lead with a built-in umbrella, which can be attached to any ordinary dog lead or harness. It works just like a human umbrella, with its clear plastic cover helping to keep your pet dry, making it fully equipped for your and your dog to deal with whatever the weather brings. This makes it absolutely ideal for a dog-friendly holiday in North Devon in the coming autumn and winter months, when the weather is far from perfect, but the area is still so spectacular and exciting to explore. North Devon is highly dog friendly, and with our relaxing holiday cottages and a variety of scenic walks taking in coastal paths, towns, villages and secluded countryside, it is an ideal destination to visit with your dog. With the arrival of this umbrella, the choice of when to go is opened up to all year round. 23/10/14
