Revealed: The best and worst cities for pets in the UK
A recent study found that Brighton is the most pet-friendly British city, while Belfast is the least pet-friendly.
The research, based on 1,000 pet parents, concludes that Edinburgh and Liverpool rank in second and third places respectively as best cities to have pets.
As for where the most pet-friendly landlords are located, Norwich took the top spot with 96%, closely followed by Leeds (95%) and Sheffield (93%). The capital, London came fourth with 90% of landlords being happy to let pets living in their properties.
The study from pet-friendly apartments company Quintain Living also found that, in addition to Belfast, London and Glasgow are the worst cities in the country to own pets.
Plymouth (82%), Cardiff (80%) and Edinburgh (73%) were voted as the cities with the fewest pet-friendly landlords.
While 17% of pet owners considered giving up their pet to find somewhere to rent, nearly 4 out of 10 do not feel comfortable asking for permission to keep a pet. Furthermore, 30% of Britons think they could rent a nicer property if they didn’t have a pet.
The results were based on the accessibility of parks, vets, pet grooming salons, pet-friendly pubs, and pet boarding establishments in each city.
