Our Story
Dog City Guide was born from a simple yet powerful moment: bringing home my first dog and realizing how unprepared cities are for our four-legged companions.
As someone with a background in economics from the University of Turin, I approached this challenge analytically—researching dog-friendly locations, policies, and travel logistics across Europe and North America. What started as personal notes for weekend trips evolved into a comprehensive resource that now helps thousands of dog owners navigate city life confidently.
I quickly learned that finding truly honest, tested information about dog-friendly places was nearly impossible. Most sites either copied each other or promoted places without actually visiting them. That's why every guide on Dog City Guide is based on real experiences, direct research, and honest evaluations.
