The RSPCA has welcomed new guidance on dog walking in lockdown.
They say this will make it easier for people in England to walk and exercise their dogs amid ongoing lockdown restrictions.
People with dogs can go out more often than once a day to exercise their canine companion if necessary. However, people are still advised by the to "limit this where possible".
Dr Samantha Gaines, the RSPCA's head of companion animals, said: "The RSPCA really welcomes this important new guidance for England from the UK Government, which is a common sense approach for dog owners and their pets.
"Dog walkers may now go out more than once a day to meet the exercise needs of their dogs. This stops the rules penalising dogs living with one person."
