Dallas named #1 most dog-obsessed city in the
U.S., proving the bigger the hair, the closer to DOGS
BARK (NYSE: BARK), a leading global omnichannel dog brand with a
mission to make all dogs happy, has teamed up with real estate
marketplace Zillow to determine the top 10 cities to find
dog-friendly rentals in the United States. BARK combined its
thirteen years’ worth of dog data, based on BarkBox and Super
Chewer subscribers, with Zillow’s extensive database of
pet-friendly rentals to identify the cities that are obsessed with
dogs, as well as the dog names and breeds that residents will most
likely call “neighbor.”

A few of the most interesting takeaways include:
- Even dog obsession is bigger in Texas: Dallas, Austin
and San Antonio took the top three spots for most dog-obsessed
cities.
- United States of Retrievers: Unsurprisingly, Golden
Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers are among the most popular dog
breeds in the top dog-friendly cities. Other popular breeds include
American Pit Bull Terriers and Australian Shepherds.
- New Yorkers love the French (Bulldogs): In New York
City, French Bulldogs are the most popular breed, and it’s the only
city to have French Bulldogs as the most popular breed.
- If you hear someone yell ‘BEAR!’ at a dog park, it might be
a…DOG: Bear is the most popular name for dogs in cities such as
Indianapolis, Phoenix and Jacksonville.
“At BARK, we embrace that dogs are part of the family, and
finding a home or apartment that is dog-friendly is at the top of
dog people’s minds,” said Dave Stangle, VP of Brand Marketing at
BARK. “We teamed up with Zillow to show dog parents the most
dog-obsessed cities in the country, and where they can find rentals
that are rolling out the welcome mat (and toys) for dogs.”
“The number of dog parents in the U.S. skyrocketed during the
pandemic as people shifted to working from home, which really
spotlighted the need for dog-friendly rentals,” said Emily
McDonald, Zillow’s rental trends expert. “In collaboration with
BARK, we’ve pinpointed cities that are particularly welcoming to
dogs. Renters with dogs can face tough competition for a limited
number of suitable rentals, but our findings highlight where the
search might be easier.”
