Here’s something to bark at: About one in five — or roughly 23 million — U.S. households acquired a dog or cat during the pandemic.
But some cities are more equipped to handle the explosive growth of their four-legged population.
With International Dog Day (Aug. 26) around the corner, LawnStarter sniffed out 2021’s Best Cities for Dog Lovers.
The group measured the puppy love in nearly 200 of the biggest U.S. cities based on 22 key factors — from access to dog walkers, groomers, and trainers to the share of canine-friendly rental properties to the favorability of dog laws.
