Austin is the Number 3 Most Dog Friendly City

Austin was ranked the 3rd most dog-friendly city, according to a DogFriendly.com listing of cities with pet-accommodating transportation, parks, attractions, stores and dining.
From Freddie's Place to the endless number of courtyard coffee shops and cafes, Austin was listed for its overwhelming number of dog-friendly eateries. The dog lover's blog and information site also recognized dog-friendly Zilker Botanical Gardens and 12 off-leash dog parks.
San Diego took the No. 1 spot, followed by Portland, Ore. Austin was the only Texas city on the top 10 list, though San Antonio was given an honorary mention.
Central Texas is home to many dog-supported businesses, including DogBoy's Dog Ranch, recently-launched gourmet pet food maker Nulo Inc. and Shoo tag maker Energetic Solutions LLC.
