For this report, the WalletHub number crunchers compared the creature-friendliness of the 100 largest cities across 23 key metrics including expenses related to pet budgets and health and wellness plus outdoor pet friendliness.

The report determined Scottsdale, Arizona, was the most pet-friendly city thanks to its high number of pet businesses and dog-friendly shops per capita. Nearly 98% of the city’s rental listings allow pets, one of the highest percentages in the country, and nearly 27% of the city is parkland, thus making it an ideal place for dog walking.
