I found visiting garden centres with Jem has really helped her as a puppy to condition her to people, different smells, noises and most of all Christmas Decs!
Below are some Garden Centres that we have checked out that allow dogs to shop with us...
Carnon Downs Garden Centre, near Truro are very dog friendly! They even allow dogs in their cafe so you can enjoy a sneaky mince pie & coffee while you browse! I do remember visiting there last summer, when there was a dog shut in hot car in the car park - which I was concerned about. I reported it to the centre and they could not do enough to find the owner and get the dog released. Lucky the dog was ok!
Wyevale Lelant Garden Centre, near Hayle allow dogs to walk around their garden centre. Dogs are only allowed in the outside part of the cafe so not any good in the cold or wet weather. A small pet shop area is in the garden centre which sells food, toys, beds etc.
Chacewater Garden Centre, near Truro allows dogs to walk around the garden centre and has limited areas in the cafe which allows your best friend. The centre includes a Pet Shop with food, toys, beds etc.
Penventon Nursery, Lanner allow dogs in both their garden centre & cafe.
All of these have a lovely Christmas and gift offerings.... gives you a real sense of Christmas which is just around the corner!!!
If you have been to a garden centre in Cornwall that allow dogs - let us know and we can add them to our list.
Happy Christmas Garden Shopping with your dogs!
