National Dog Week 2025: canine events in Paris and the Ile-de-France region

At last, there's a week dedicated to man's best friend! From September 27 to October 5, 2025, the Centrale Canine is launching a new edition of the Semaine Nationale du Chien in Paris, the Ile-de-France region and throughout France. Since 1881, the Centrale Canine has been responsible for promoting the role of the dog in French society, and is the keeper of the Livre des Origines Français (LOF), the only official register recognized by the French Ministry of Agriculture to certify the pedigree of pedigree dogs and issue pedigrees.

To celebrate our beloved pooches in style, several events are being organized in Paris and the Ile-de-France region, to promote the dog 's beneficial role and skills in society, inform future owners and mistresses to encourage responsible adoptions, and showcase the many activities you can enjoy with your dog.

On the program: open days, animal welfare events, 100% dog days, sport with your dog, festivals and many other events organized by training and use clubs affiliated to the Centrale Canine, local dog associations, private and public structures such as the municipal police.
