Some of the best places for pooches to romp and play are not in Texas, according to a new study by LawnStarter, a lawn care company.

The study ranked nearly 100 U.S. city dog parks access, quality, and climate factors.

Texas’ biggest cities finished “with their tails between their legs,” according to the study.

Five cities in the Lone Star State ranked in the bottom 10, including Fort Worth, Arlington, and Plano in 88th to 90th places, respectively, and Garland in 95th. Laredo ranked the worst, largely because of park size, the study states.

“The poorest, in fact, among the cities we measured,” the study states. “Bad, Texas!”

The study also looked at the number of dog parks in each city, average visitor ratings, and historical weather data.

Dallas ranked 86th but was complimented for Mutts, “a dog park with a restaurant that serves treats for dogs (and adult beverages for owners) — for a cover charge,” the study states.

Among other North Texas cities, the study listed Irving in 60th place.

Overall, here are the nation’s best and worst dog park cities for 2021, according to LawnStarter:
