Pet care activity
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Zagreb, walking the dog is a major social ritual, especially on the 'Zelena potkova' (Green Horseshoe) parks. It's common to see dogs in almost every cafe. In coastal towns, people often walk their dogs along the 'Riva' (waterfront). The pace is slower, and the activity is very public. In more rural or smaller Slavonian towns, dogs often have more space in yards, but 'šetanje' is still a common evening activity in the town centers. There is a growing trend of 'dog-friendly' everything. Walking the dog now often involves visiting specific dog parks (vježbališta za pse).
