Tucson is now considered to be the third most dog-friendly city in the US, which is a big improvement over previous years. Its progress is due to the number of affordable homes, warm climate, and 50 restaurants where you can take your canine friend. Tucson has the eighth most dog-friendly shopping centers as well. Not to mention the number of sunny days during the year when you can go out and play around for hours and practice your favorite outdoor sports.

Knowing that the city has a below-average number of days with precipitation per year, you and fluffy are going to be very happy to live there. So, according to all the metrics, Denver is a perfect city for you and your pet.
Maybe you didn’t know, but Las Vegas has the highest number of dog-friendly parks on this list. The city barely sees any rain during the year, which will allow you to walk around all year long.

The city of trees already sounds like a perfect place for dogs. Sacramento has a lot of greenery, dog parks, and animal-friendly restaurants. Your buddy will never be left behind and you can hang around together anywhere you want to.
