When you live in Los Angeles, pets are an easy option for so many reasons: the weather is always amazing (no need to scoop poop in the snow); parks and beaches and hikes abound; and many people have the sort of untraditional jobs and flexible schedules that make taking care of a new pup or kitten a little easier. It's also nice that LA has so many dog-friendly restaurants and bars, outdoor patios and full-service pet stores to cater to our furry friends.
