dogcentric

Dog-centric is an adjective used to describe policies, environments, products, or activities that prioritize the needs, interests, or experiences of dogs. The term is formed from dog and centric, with usage common in discussions of pet welfare, urban design, and consumer branding.

In urban planning and public spaces, dog-centric design may include features such as dedicated dog parks, off-leash areas, water stations, waste disposal, and clear signage to accommodate dogs and their owners.

In commerce and media, dog-centric branding or storytelling highlights canine welfare, nutrition, training, and companionship, and is often used to market dog-related goods or services.

Critics note that the term can be vague or marketing-driven, and decisions described as dog-centric should consider animal welfare, public safety, accessibility, and sustainability.
