City centre living with a dog doesn’t have to be ruff. In fact around New Bailey there are plenty of apartments designed with pawrents and their furbabies in mind.

Developments like The Slate Yard, Novella and The Filaments have all embraced dog-friendly living, meaning you don’t have to choose between the perks of city life and a home that welcomes your pup.

Here are our top 2025 tips for keeping tails wagging in the city:

• Routine = happy dogs – Build in set walk times for your pup! With, Salford’s green gems like Peel Park and The Meadow just around the corner it’s easy to keep your pup’s tail wagging.

• Pup storage hacks – Baskets for toys keep your apartment tidy (and save your toes from surprise squeaky attacks). Designated storage makes apartment living a breeze.

• Exercise swaps – No private garden? No problem. Try indoor enrichment toys like snuffle mats and lick mats to keep your pup busy between walks.

• Community counts – Join local dog socials (like Pup Culture events at New Bailey) to meet other owners, swap tips and let your pups make fur-iends.

• Care when you’re away – Apps like BorrowMyDoggy or local daycare centres such as Dogs4Rescue and Digs for Dogs mean your pup will always have company when you can’t be there.

City life can be just as paw-fect for pups as the suburbs – especially when you live in an apartment that celebrates dog ownership as part of its community.
