Croatians are generally pet-friendly so you shouldn’t feel worried about this aspect of travel. However, as almost everywhere else in the world, it's always appreciated when pet owners are considerate of others by keeping their dogs on a leash in public spaces and ensuring they do not disturb wildlife or local inhabitants.

In Croatia, it's essential to adhere to local laws regarding dogs. This includes leash laws in public areas, especially in crowded urban areas, picking up after your dog, and respecting signs that indicate non-pet-friendly zones. Compliance with these few simple rules ensures a pleasant environment for all and helps maintain Croatia's beauty.
