I would think rural areas are more pet friendly because they have room to run around in.

Our pets are as healthy as we allow them to be. Regular exercise, good nutritious food, veterinary care, and lots of love. That's what makes a pet healthy, not where you live.

No my state of IL. needs a lot more education on the proper care and importance or animals and stiffer penalties for animal cruelty.

I would chose MIchigan over California any day. Michigan at least has fresh air and wilderness. Besides Detroit and Flint, I think Michigan IS a good home for people and pets.

You know, just because I'm super close to Detroit doesn't mean my pets aren't healthy. I can believe Denver, but California? The Land of the Smog? I can't believe it.

My dog loves St. Louis, but there are too many strays here for it to be a pet friendly city. Too many people just let their dogs go free instead of finding new homes. Not to mention that the midwest is puppy mill central. I don't think that would be called pet friendly...

Great, but hardly a reason to choose where to live.

I think some of this may have to do with the fact that there are a lot of hikers, mountain bikers, x-country skiers, etc., in Colorado. Coloradans love to be outside and love to take their pets.

Denver has too much snow for arthritic pets and senior owners. My beagle, Sandy, and I moved to Virginia to escape snow and frigid temperatures. We both feel much better. Although Sandy is 12+, she still runs around like a puppy on her good days.

Well apparently I need to move! I find it interesting that most are from California. They apparently get out more often then those of us snowed in here in the midwest.

I too wish the stories stayed up longer. But, we still can see the list of what were considered the top 5 healthiest cities for pets. Too bad my city is not on the list.

I quess the south has a bad reputation for dog fighting so we'll probably never get on the list.

There are serious validity questions about all types of ranking like this. The criteria used are questionable and debatable. For example, I just laughed when Pittsburgh received the "Most Livable City" rating several years ago. If you change the criteria, you will change the rankings.
