Walks & shared time outdoors
Dogs are part of everyday household life, which may include time spent outdoors across a mix of fields, parks, woodland, and local areas.
Time outside is relaxed and varied, with opportunities to move about, explore, and enjoy being out together at a natural pace — muddy paws very much included.
Everyday life beyond home
When we talk about dogs being part of everyday life, we mean just that.
Time may be spent out and about as part of normal family routine, from woodland and country parks to local areas and familiar, dog-friendly places, always within the context of shared household life.
Total relaxation
After shared activity, dogs naturally settle into quiet downtime, often choosing a favourite chair or cosy spot to relax.
These calm moments are part of everyday home life, where dogs are comfortable, settled, and at ease.
