Better Cities for Pets or Pet Friendly Region Certifications?

  • 1.  Better Cities for Pets or Pet Friendly Region Certifications?

    Posted 7 days ago

    Good day animal welfare friends!

    Other than "Better Cities for Pets", a program supported by Mars Pet Care, are you aware of other programs in the United States to certify a city, town or region as Pet Friendly? Have you ever been involved in one, and how did it go?

    FYI, the "BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ model highlights 12 traits across four pillars: shelters, homes, parks and businesses. Essential to each trait is the expectation of responsible pet ownership and how the bond between people and pets makes us all healthier." Sadly, the program appears to have ended in 2024.

    Thank you for your thoughts...
