St. Pete has gone to the dogs – and that’s a good thing. According to a new study published by WalletHub, St. Petersburg is the third most pet-friendly city in the country.

The study used three primary factors to determine the rankings, including pet budget, pet health and wellness, and outdoor pet-friendliness. WalletHub ran those three factors through 23 relevant metrics and applied them to the 100 largest cities in the country, and the math named St. Pete No. 3 overall.

Key among the findings: St. Pete scored 4th overall in pet health and wellness, an indicator of how much good veterinary support is available in the city. And more good news for local pet owners: Tampa finished No. 2 in the rankings, just behind overall No. 1 Scottsdale, Arizona. Baltimore finished last among the 100 largest cities.

If this news has you thinking about getting a cat or dog, SPCA Tampa Bay is hosting its annual Clear The Shelters event on Saturday, August 26, where new pet parents can adopt animals for no charge. The event starts at noon, and all available animals are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped, making for seamless and affordable adoption.
