Dogs can now take part in Christmas shopping at the Dolphin Centre

Participating stores include popular retailers H&M, Beales, Starbucks, Pandora, New Look, Pen Gallery, Grounded Coffee and many more in the centre, Falkland Square and Kingland Crescent.

Customers can identify which shops allow canine companions with a paw print sticker displayed in store windows.

To ensure happy and safe shopping for all customers, dogs are required to remain on leads, and must not be left unattended in the centre.

Customers are also required to clean up any accidental mess caused by their dog and asked to respect the policy of retailers that are not participating in the dog-friendly scheme.

As always, customers with guide dogs are welcome in every store.

John Grinnell, centre manager of the Dolphin Centre, said: “The Dolphin is a central hub for our community, and our new canine-friendly policy extends this offering to now include the county’s dog lovers.

"Customers can take a walk along the quay with their pooch and then stroll into the centre for a coffee, have a browse, and enjoy the facilities and events on offer, without the worry of leaving their dog outside.”
