Is Yours a 2010 Top 10 Dog-Friendly City?
Max here with some news! Not that I’m going to move to Provincetown, MA anytime soon, but I noticed that Dog Fancy magazine will be naming their top 40 most dog-friendly cities in the US in September, and they teased us with the top ten. Provincetown, MA is numero uno.
Why 40? Because Dog Fancy magazine is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Congratulations, Dog Fancy! And congratulations to all the winners. (I’m betting my city is somewhere in that top 40. I love where I live!)
What Makes These Cities the Best?
The criteria used to select the winning city include lots of dog-friendly open spaces and dog parks, events celebrating dogs and their people, sufficient veterinary care, plenty of pet supply and other services, and municipal laws that support and protect all pets.
The next nine cities in the top ten are:
* Carmel, Calif.
* Madison, Wis.
* Benicia, Calif.
* Fort Bragg, Calif.
* Lincoln City, Ore.
* San Diego, Calif.
* Virginia Beach, Va.
* Sioux Falls, S.D.
* Salem, Ore.
I think every city in America should do whatever it takes to win this competition next year!
