Elisabeth Napp: Sustainable Dog Ownership in Urban Areas, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Dogs are among man's most loyal companions - especially in cities, where they provide exercise, companionship, and joy. But in a world that is increasingly focused on sustainability, the question arises: How can dog ownership in urban areas be organized in a way that benefits not only the animals, but also the environment and society? This book offers the first comprehensive, scientifically sound, and easy-to-understand overview of the ecological, social, and cultural dimensions of urban dog ownership. It covers topics such as the carbon footprint of dog food, space requirements in small living spaces, mobility and animal health, legal frameworks, and innovative solutions from international cities. With numerous ecological indicators, practical examples, and a special focus on everyday decisions, the book shows that sustainable dog ownership is neither a sacrifice nor an ideology, but rather opens up an enriching perspective for owners, animals, and cities.
