Burns charity opens dog parks

The John Burns Foundation, the charity arm of Burns Pet Nutrition Foundation, has opened two adventure dog paddocks at its site in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire.

The fields, which are located just off the A484, are fenced to heights of 4ft and 6ft at the Canolfan John Burns Centre. 

Both areas are available to book exclusively for use by individuals or groups of friends with up to five dogs. Access gates can be secured upon entering and leaving the park and visual barriers obscure views to surrounding land to ease the mind of owners with nervous reactive dogs.

Melanie Jones, chief executive of the John Burns Foundation, said: “The parks are perfect for stress-free, off-lead exercising, safe recall practice and sensory play.

“There is a wide range of enrichment activities for dogs to enjoy such as digging zones, climbing equipment, sniffing area and textured surfaces.”

All proceeds from dog park bookings will go to help support The John Burns Foundation to run charitable projects in our community and beyond.
