Saw this from wallet hub https://www.thrillist.com/news/natio...ly-cities-2019

Just wondering what current residents think about Reno being on the "not friendly" side? I was under the impression there were a good number of dog parks. I don't know about pet friendly restaurants.

How can two top 5 cities be pet friendly when its 100+ degrees for 5 months a year and often over 110???

The only thing that makes Reno not pet friendly are the coyotes...

The article was more about the number of dog parks, pet friendly hotels and restaurants and trails.
Though coyotes are a factor.

Dog parks? Perhaps not quite so many. Trails? Tons...

Reno is very pet friendly. We own more pets per person than the rest of the country. Lots of great dog parks. You can eat outside in many places with your dog.

Carson City is the most dog-friendly city ever. Almost all trails are leash optional on the outskirts of town. Tons of trails near water sources. Dog park. Hotels might not be pet-friendly like Northern California idk. The best part about owning pets here is all of the BLM open spaces with little to no rules and very few ticks and rarely fleas. Reno and Carson both have limits on the number of dogs you can keep on a property without a special license. In Carson City it is 3 dogs.
The point about coyotes is well-taken. I live near BLM and the mountains in CC and we have given up on small pets. We have 2 large dogs and they have to be outside together even in the daytime. Never outside at night. Mountain lion, coyote packs, bobcat in the garage, raccoons, skunks. Now this is a rural area of the city, but if you are a hiker and you like to let your dogs off-leash, keep the coyotes in mind until your dogs learn to not mess with them. Most suburbs do not have mountain lions or bobcats that are a threat, but coyotes are an issue in a lot of areas. Small dogs can be killed or seriously harmed very quickly when walking in the sage if your not careful, and coyotes can jump backyard fencing easily. For most people it's not much of an issue, depends on what area you live in and how close to open space and mountains it is.
