9. Las Vegas, Nevada
Strangely enough, this is actually in top 10 best cities to raise a pet! It has 12 dog parks and warm weather year-round, both of which contribute to its eighth-place ranking in the outdoor pet-friendliness subcategory.
Sin City also ranks 18th for pet health and wellness. Oh, and don’t worry about where you’re going to find that cute costume for your kitty — Las Vegas is tied for having the most pet businesses per capita.
