…this time in a survey that asked ‘How liveable is your city for your pet?’
According to the Australian Companion Animal Council’s survey of 1800 Australian pet owners, all Australian cities could be doing more to deliver liveability for people and pets. The survey looked into how liveable pet owners believe the city or area they live in is. Melbourne polled first as the most liveable place for people and pets in Australia, with an average ranking of over 7 out of 10.
It also confirmed that the most important thing for a cat owner is that they are permitted to keep their cat where they live (90.8% of respondents).
Here’s the full rankings (scores are out of 10):
1. Melbourne: 7.13
2. Adelaide: 7.09
3. Perth: 6.58
4. Canberra: 6.49
5. Brisbane: 6.24
6. Hobart: 6.07
6. Sydney: 6.07
7. Darwin: 5.82
Do these results surprise you? Do you think your city should have rated higher? I’m not at all surprised by Sydney’s result. Pet-friendly accommodation can be very hard to come by in this city.
