Do you spoil your dog? Alaska ranks second in the United States, right behind Florida, in pampering and spoiling their canine companions. This information was shared in an article in the Forbes Advisor (3-25-2024) by Kelly Anne Smith called “States with the Most Spoiled Dogs.”
This came as a shock for me to read because Skagway is home to some of the most spoiled and pampered pets that I know. Of course, the definition of being spoiled is subjective. The article mentions such things as holding a dog-friendly birthday party for your dog, and spending more money on your dog’s healthcare and grooming than you do on your own.
Skagway is a great place to be a dog. Every dog has a home and there are no strays. There are trails and mountains to climb. Rivers to play in. Places to run untethered. Dog “play groups.” Birthday parties. A place to be bathed and groomed. Sometimes there’s even a treat or two from our local businesses.
Dogs bring us joy and unconditional love. They are by our side for life’s ups and downs. If you are lucky enough to share your life with a dog, you know what I’m talking about. Let’s help make Alaska #1 for 2024! Spoil your dogs!
