We’re always talking about what life is like for us in New Jersey. But have we thought about what life is like for our dogs?

According to http://northjersey.com New Jersey was recently named the eighth most dog-friendly state in 2024 by Showsight Magazine, an award-winning publication that has been following the dog show community since 1992. The publication cited that the Garden State has more than 2,000 dog-friendly facilities, over 1,700 dog-friendly restaurants and nearly 400 dog-friendly hotels. More and more people have also been bringing their pups everywhere else, from department stores, pharmacies, boutiques, public transportation and more, so we’d say they’re probably living pretty good.
