Any business can offer pet friendly amenities

In 2023, SaveYour.Town identified pet friendly communities as a Top Topic.

Here’s an example of a business offering a pet friendly amenity. In Palouse, Washington, a local veterinarian has an office in the downtown. Out front, they’ve installed a small patch of artificial turf as a pet relief station. They added a cleanup bag dispenser on a pole and a tiny fire hydrant. It’s not a huge expense, but it adds a big benefit to anyone walking a dog downtown.

Pet friendly benefits

Any business in any small town can take advantage of the pet-friendly trend. Adding pet friendly amenities could attract more customers and clients. It also helps build a stronger sense of community. Pet-loving employees will also love adding pet-friendly features.

Even in tiny towns

We’ve noticed a boom in pet grooming businesses, even in small towns like Stratton, Colorado, population 600.
