A Glasgow shopping centre is to welcome dogs for the first time.

Silverburn has announced that it is officially received a dog-friendly status, initially for a limited trial period.

Water bowls and waste bag stations will be located throughout the mall to welcome the pets.

After consultation, a selection of retailers will also adopt dog-friendly status including The Fragrance Shop, Paperchase, Waterstones, H&M, Pandora and Fossil alongside the brand new Döner Shack and café Krispy Kreme which has recently added pupuccinos to its menu.

Each of the dog-friendly retailers will be easily identified by a paw print vinyl sticker on its window.

David Pierotti, General Manager of Silverburn, said: “We pride ourselves on being a destination that is inclusive for all, and considering the 10% rise in dog ownership in recent years we wanted to trial opening our doors to everyone in the family, which includes some of the best-behaved dogs out there.

“This new policy allows visitors to shop, eat and relax at Silverburn alongside their canine companion without the anxiety of leaving them behind.

"When asked, over 80% of our customers welcomed the concept so we’re excited to make this addition and will continue to monitor feedback throughout the trial period.”
