Saint-Didier, a new HQ for Lyon dog owners
As the school year begins, it's often packed with busy schedules, but it’s important not to forget about taking breaks. A dog deprived of walks can quickly develop stress or even separation anxiety, which affects nearly 20% of dogs in France. Veterinarian Pierre Fabing suggests mixing up walking routes, exploring new parks, or even adding a dog-friendly restaurant to your outings. Variety keeps your pet stimulated, feeds their curiosity, and strengthens the bond between owner and dog.
With its rank of 2nd in the nation, Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d’Or has become a must-visit spot for dog walks around Lyon. This is definitely motivation for owners to lace up their sneakers and provide their furry friends with a perfect setting, blending nature and friendliness.
