Look, it's not in-depth medical research, but credit-score-monitoring website WalletHub recently shared its own assessment of the most pet-friendly cities-and also threw shade at the least pet-friendly.

Judging mostly on financial metrics-examples include “minimum pet-care provider rate per visit” and “pet businesses per capita”-the company compared the animal applause for the 100 largest cities in the United States.

A few other veterinary-flavored tidbits from the research? Of large U.S. cities, Stockton, California, has the lowest average veterinary care costs per visit ($37.08), 2.3 times lower than that of Plano, Texas, with $84.24. Miami has the most veterinarians per capita, and Newark, New Jersey, has fewest.

1. Scottsdale, Arizona

2. Orlando, Florida (also a top 25 cat-friendly city, according to another list)

3. Tampa, Florida

4. Austin, Texas

5. Phoenix, Arizona
