Sometimes having a City dog is the best thing in the world, other times the world makes it unnecessarily hard on us and our dogs. Having said that, we compiled a list of 10 things that every City Dog owner will understand.

    All of these!!! What makes it especially “ruff” for me and Henry is that Henry is dog reactive, and it’s hard to avoid other dogs. Finding a dog park is tricky (no car, none nearby, and always other dogs!) and it’s a bummer not being able to bring him to all of the fun dog events the city has to offer.

    As much as I love the city, can’t imagine trying to live in the city with a dog. I’m thankful for my big backyard!

    Bentley and Pierre are never off leash except in our fenced backyard but I know they would hate not being able to run free. We found finding grassy areas to be a problem on our most recent road trip. I do not understand weight restrictions in apartments.

      So many restrictions in so many places. It is heartbreaking at times

    Mr. N has found bacon on the street. Who throws away bacon???

    • City Dog Expert says:

      hahahahahahaahahah bacon is so random!! Which city? Houdini is asking 😉

  5. Jane says:

    Brings back memories of living in the city and reminds me of how blessed my fur babies and I are now, living in the mountains.

  6. Pawesome Cats says:

    You made me smile with this list – I can’t imagine keeping a dog in an apartment in the city. We always had access to big open spaces and a huge backyard when we had a dog.
