Join our Spring Dog Walk Challenge: Paws for Carers

Walk 60 miles in 30 days this April with your pup to support unpaid carers across the UK and earn a free dog bandana for your furry friend!

We know that four-legged furry friends can benefit mental health by providing motivation, companionship and comfort. So whether you're a seasoned walker or simply want a new way to enjoy time with your pup, our Spring Dog Walk Challenge is for everyone, wherever you are.

Why Join the Challenge?

This exciting event is perfect for canines and their owners who want to make a difference while enjoying fresh air, daily exercise, and quality time together.

Walk 60 miles - this could be 2 miles a day or 15 miles a week - you choose the pace and route that suits you!

Not ready to commit to 60 miles? Why not host a one-off sponsored dog walk instead! Set a date, distance, and invite pet parents and their pups to join you in raising awareness for unpaid carers.
