Pets make life happier and healthier. That’s why the BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ program helps cities make pets as welcome as possible. And now Mars Petcare is certifying the most pet-friendly places to recognize and celebrate all they do for pets and pet owners.
These cities have all earned BETTER CITY FOR PETS™ recognition thanks to the programs and policies they have in place and their commitment to continuing improvement.
See how the BETTER CITY FOR PETS™ program helps cities be more pet-friendly in our 2019 Annual Report. For more information about the certification, click here.
The BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ program includes a model of 12 key traits for pet-friendly cities. Things like local organizations working to end pet homelessness, available pet-friendly housing, pet amenities like free pet waste bags, and shops and restaurants that make it easy to be out with pets.
Cities that want BETTER CITY FOR PETS™ recognition take our online assessment, a detailed look at the city’s pet demographics, features, pet-friendly programs, and plans for the future.
