The GSPCA are reminding dog walkers that once again from tomorrow you can take your canine friend on the beaches around Guernsey.
Guernsey has restrictions on a number of beaches during the Summer months which are then lifted during the Winter.
With the restrictions lifted the GSPCA would like to remind pet owners to be mindful of the Wildlife that live and feed along the shorelines.
Here is a breakdown of the restrictions which have been lifted as of the 1st October until the 30th April.
The Environment Department is advising dog owners to keep pets away from any white substance they may find on local beaches.
Small lumps of a white waxy substance have been found today at Grandes Rocques Bay by a member of the public. Lumps of a similar substance found in south Devon and Cornwall in December 2014 were identified as degraded edible oil or fat. If the substance is degraded oil, whilst not harmful to human health, it could pose a danger to dogs if it has gone rancid.

We have been in touch with the Environment Department who have staff removing the substance from our beaches.
