In the Forbes survey, Colorado Springs landed in the top 20 in all categories factored into the rankings: public park acreage, dog parks, pet supply and service businesses, and veterinary facilities and costs. The Springs has more than 10,000 acres of public park space, or almost a tenth of an acre for every pet, seven dog parks, and 113 veterinarians, the magazine said. Colorado Springs fit a profile similar to the other winners in the top 10: a small to medium size city with a median population of 507,000 people. All are “large enough to draw lots of pet shops, vets and public parks, but small enough not to drown out such amenities with overly dense populations,” the magazine said.
