Best spots for dogs in New Zealand

"If the surf and sand wilderness on Papamoa Beach is a bit too much for your pampered pooch the walking/cycling pathways around the stormwater reserves are a great alternative. They stretch from Gordon Spratt Reserve right down to Pacific View Reserve. Hours of good fun and doggie crowds."

"Whether it’s a puppy cut, colour or full blown perm and braids Showdogs offer dog grooming, a dog blog for the latest tips and trends and a friendly day-care facility and a classy boutique with lots of bling and cool canine gear."
