Frankfort Named Chicago's Most Pet Friendly Suburb

Frankfort has gone to the dogs.

In a recent article by real estate blog Movoto, the town has been named the most pet friendly Chicago suburb.

“Movoto” reviewed over 100 suburbs to compile their ranking and included factors such as pet stores per capita and pet services per capita.

Here’s what they had to say about Frankfort:

Key Stats:

• Pet stores: 4
• Vets: 12
• Pet services: 12
• Parks: 9

“Frankfort is known as the “Jewel of the South Suburbs,” and we think Fido would agree. There are punny pet stores and groomers like Chew on This Dog Barkery, A Paw-Fect Cut, and Hair of the Dog Spa & Boutique. There are several highly rated vets like the Frankfort Animal Care Center.

And perhaps best of all, especially for dogs, are the nine different parks dotted around the community. Head to Old Plank Road Trail for a visit and you and your pup will probably want to pack up and move here.”

The top 10 communities included (in order):

1. Frankfort
2. Crete
3. Barrington
4. Lake Bluff
5. Wilmette
6. Mokena
7. Countryside
8. Lemont
9. Monee
10. Itasca

“We are pleased that Movoto recognizes how friendly Frankfort is to pets. Pets are a part of family friendly communities and the Village will continue to support all responsible pet owners,” said Mayor Jim Holland.
