West Sussex has plenty of dog walkers, but finding ones we could verify was harder than it should be. Our standard is strict: a walker is listed only if their own website shows they work in the county and states their insurance and checks, and marketplace walkers need at least 50 reviews. Every insurance, DBS

West Sussex has a long coast, the South Downs and some of the best estates in the south, but also seasonal beach bans, a patchwork of council orders and places that restrict dogs at certain times of year. Several council orders are at or near their renewal date, so we’ve said where we couldn’t confirm

West Sussex has a healthy number of bookable secure dog fields, mostly in the Horsham and Haywards Heath area and around Chichester. Each field below has its own operator page, but many pages don’t show a price or maximum number of dogs, so we’ve said what’s missing. Confirm fencing and prices before you travel, especially

West Sussex has plenty of dog-friendly pub gardens, especially around Chichester Harbour and the Downs, but we could verify only a handful from the pub’s own page or a CAMRA tag.

West Sussex has some lovely dog-friendly stays, especially around Chichester, the Downs and the coast, and several publish their dog fees.

Where we couldn’t confirm dates or details, we’ve said so. For water, see our Warwickshire dog swimming guide.

Warwickshire has a good run of bookable secure dog fields, clustered around Leamington and Stratford. We confirmed each from an operator page, but several pages leave out prices or fence heights, so we’ve said where we’re relying on a listing site. Always check fencing yourself if your dog is a jumper. Fields with operator pages

Warwickshire has a good spread of pubs carrying CAMRA’s “Dog Friendly” tag, plus a few cafés where the landowner states dogs are welcome. The tag rarely says which rooms dogs can use, and we only sampled CAMRA’s listings rather than sweeping every pub, so a quick call is sensible before you go. Leamington Spa and

Warwickshire is better served for dog-friendly hotels than most counties we’ve covered, and several hotels publish their dog fees. Prices change, so treat the figures below as what each operator’s page said when we checked, and confirm when you book.
