I have 2 dogs and I cannot imagine life without them. My very early mornings are devoted to my workouts and walking my dogs separately. They don’t want to share my attention and that’s quite alright with me because I can better assess the health and attitude of my dogs that way. Dogs have always been in my life.. from age 16 on. I love dogs and how much they add to my life.
I just got this email about International Dog Day (August 26!!!!) which is next week. Because I love the idea of a special day for dogs, I am sharing this informative chart that SmartAsset provided so that you too can find out if your city is listed on it as one of the best US cities for dog owners and their dogs! My city is listed! (*YAY!!!). Hopefully, your city is listed too!
Americans spent $95.7 billion on their pets in 2019, with almost $37 billion going toward pet food and treats alone. That figure may grow as many dog shelters nationwide recently reported an uptick in foster and adoption interest during the coronavirus lockdown.
With International Dog Day approaching on August 26, SmartAsset crunched the numbers to find the best U.S. cities for dog owners and their four-legged friends to call home.
Tips for Pet-Friendly Spending
- Take hold of your budget. Those unexpected veterinarian visits and chew toys can add up. Make sure you have enough wiggle room in your budget for a surprise expense – whether it’s a trip to the doctor or a shiny new toy. Use our free budget calculator to reassess your budget.
- Carefully decide whether to buy or rent. Need more space for you and your growing family, pets and all? You may not be entirely ready to buy – check out our Rent vs. Buy tool to help you make your decision.
- Consider expert financial advice. Finding the right financial advisor doesn’t have to be hard. SmartAsset’s free tool matches you with financial advisors in your area in five minutes.
