Most Pet Friendly Cities

Orlando?

What is the most pet friendly city in the United States?

Wallet Hub, a credit score and financial planning company, took a look at cities across the United States measuring them against 19 different metrics across three key dimensions: “Pet Budget,” “Pet Health & Wellness,” and “Outdoor Pet Friendliness.” Some of those 19 metrics were “Veterinary Care Costs,” “Number of Veterinarians per Capita,” “Pet-Friendliness of Rental Market,” “Number of Dog Parks per Capita,” and “Dog-Insurance Premium.”  Wallet Hub reports that dogs don’t come cheap:

But adding a pet to the family roster can strike a hard blow to the owner’s wallet. A litany of expenses — including licenses, grooming and medical care — can cost between $235 to nearly $2,000 annually , depending on the type of animal. Health insurance alone can exceed $200 per year for a dog, and it may not even be worth it.  And if you rent an apartment with an animal, you can expect to pay hundreds, if not thousands, more for a pet deposit, fee and rent.

So what cities are best?

  1. Orlando, Florida
  2. Birmingham, Alabama
  3. Tampa, Florida
  4. Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky
  5. Scottsdale, Arizona
  6. Reno, Nevada
  7. Colorado Springs, Colorado
  8. Cincinnati, Ohio
  9. Las Vegas, Nevada
  10. St. Louis, Missouri
Orlando
On the Way to Orlando

You can read the whole story and find out which cities round out the top 25 here at the Wallet Hub website.

Sean is a passionate dog lover and the proud owner of Urban Dog’s Official Spokes-Dog, Bodhi the Weimaraner. His family has always owned dogs, but Bodhi is the first he's been fully responsible for since puppyhood… and he couldn't be more doting. As a longtime New Yorker of more than 20 years, Sean knows what a dog's and dog owner's lifestyle is like in NYC. Besides being a doggy dad and top dog at Urban Dog, Sean also has a "real job" experience as co-owner of a Palm Beach, Florida-based private investigative firm, and as a licensed (pet friendly) Real Estate Salesperson with Douglas Elliman in NYC. Sean also exercised his creativity and business sense as an award-winning journalist, producer, TV marketing exec, and private investigator. When not blogging, working, or playing with Bodhi, he is an avid adventure traveler who has circumnavigated the world, bird-watched on all seven continents, safari-ed in Africa, and SCUBA-dived in exotic waters.
