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.

Dog-Friendly Dining at Bents
We warmly welcome well-behaved dogs in several dining areas, so you can enjoy a bite to eat together:

  • Bents Pet Café – offering delicious treats for both humans and hounds!
  • Our Outside Dining Areas*
  • Tapas Bar Marquee – located in our undercover plant area
  • Our New Alfresco ‘Undercover’ Terrace – serving made-to-order fish and chips and artisan pizzas

Where Can Dogs Accompany You?
In addition to our dining spaces, your four-legged companion is welcome in:

  • Bents Pet Place – a dedicated pet shop offering a wide range of pet supplies, pet food, and accessories. It also features a professional groomer and a pet café where you and your furry friend can relax and enjoy a treat.
  • Our Undercover Plant Area
  • Outdoor Spaces
  • Lakeside Stroll
  • Covered Walkway
  • Trespass | Nevisport Store
  • Lakeland Store

Fresh water stations are conveniently located throughout these areas to keep your pet hydrated.

*Please note: Dogs are not permitted in our Undercover Beach or the Outdoor Children's Adventure Play Area.)

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.
