Caring for your dog in Utrecht

Utrecht-specific tips every dog owner should know

Canal Edges

Utrecht's canal wharves are lower than street level. Keep dogs leashed near the Oudegracht to avoid slips into the water.

Student Cyclists

Utrecht is a major cycling city. Sitters should keep dogs on short leads near busy cycle routes and the central station area.

Seasonal Allergies

Pollen counts can be high in spring. Watch for excessive scratching and adjust walking routes if needed.
