This is a surprising one…

WalletHub released another one of their ranking lists. This one was for the 2022’s Most Pet-Friendly Cities. Of the 100 cities that were considered in this list, Chicago came in at the 5th WORST spot.

The list weighed metrics such as vet costs, dog insurance premiums, dog-friendly restaurants, and dog parks per capita.

Chicago did come in 4th place for, “Most Animal Shelters Per Capita,” but really fell when it came to, “Pet Budget,” and, “Outdoor Pet-Friendliness.”
