Renting with Pets in the Red Stick

Written By Meghan Dunne

Baton Rouge is a paradise for pet owners. From dog-friendly patios at Mid City Beer Garden to the expansive BREC Dog Parks, your furry friend will love it here. However, renting with pets requires a bit of strategy.

Before signing a lease, clarify the "pet rent" and "non-refundable deposits." Many complexes in the 70808 and 70810 zip codes have breed restrictions, so it’s always best to provide a "Pet Resume" featuring a photo and a letter from your previous landlord.

Once you’re moved in, take advantage of the LSU Vet School's community clinics for affordable care, and explore the Comite River Park for some of the best dog-friendly hiking trails in the region.
