Aberdeenshire runs from the Cairngorms foothills to the North Sea coast, with long distances between villages and plenty of room for a dog to run. Our coverage here is new and still growing. Figo and I started with what matters most in a big rural county: someone to walk your dog, a safe field to exercise them, a vet within reach and a trainer worth trusting.

Why the city guides are separate
Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire are two different council areas. Our Aberdeen City guides cover the city itself, so if you live in Westhill, Ellon or Inverurie you may find the nearest option there for now. The other Aberdeenshire guides are on our list to add.
For days out that feel like a lot
New fields, new walkers and new dogs can be exciting or overwhelming, depending on the dog. Calmshops stocks Calmdogs calming bites, a complementary feed to keep in the kit bag for outings. It isn’t a medicine, so if you’re worried about your dog’s behaviour, speak to your vet first.
