Bring Your Four-Legged Friend to Bents!
At Bents, we believe that every member of the family should enjoy a visit – including your furry friends! Whether it’s a Pupcake or a Cupcake, sniffing out a new toy, or browsing our homegrown plant collection, there’s plenty for both of you to explore.

We look forward to welcoming you and your four-legged friend for a tail-wagglingly good time at Bents!
Enjoy a Walk at Windy Bank Wood
For those looking for a little exercise, the 5K Windy Bank Wood trail, located to the rear of our Centre, is the perfect place to let your dog off the lead. If they find a muddy patch along the way (as dogs often do!), a cleaning station is available outside The Pet Place and café.
Keeping Bents Clean and Enjoyable for All
We appreciate all owners taking the time to clean up after their pets to maintain a clean and welcoming environment for everyone. Cleaning facilities are available throughout the store for your convenience.
