About the Parade🐾

Pup Parade is a small, local dog walking business built on muddy paws, happy tails, and trust.Based near Stratford-upon-Avon, we lead dogs on nature-filled adventures through South Warwickshire’s woods, fields, and trails.

We’re Abi & Dan — dog lovers, nature roamers, and professional treat givers. We’re happiest outdoors with a dog in tow, and we set up Pup Parade to bring more pups (and their humans!) a little joy, routine, and tail-wagging adventure.There’s not much we love more than seeing a dog curl up content after a proper outing. Walks shouldn’t just be a tick-box — they should be full of sniffs, leg-stretches, and a happy tail heading home.
