If you’re in Phoenix, not as much as other cities. That’s according to a new study from a trio of websites that analyzed the total cost of pet ownership across the country.

From real estate options to pet health insurance, Phoenix is the most affordable major U.S. city to own a dog, according to the study, which was compiled by Seattle-based real estate brokerage website Redfin, pet insurance provider Trupanion and dog sitters-for-hire website Rover.com.

In Phoenix, the average dog-friendly rent runs $1,101 a month, which is 21 percent less than the average monthly rent of $1,400 across all rental units.
