Tips for Pet Owners When Apartment Hunting

When you’re searching for an apartment with pets in mind, it helps to evaluate more than “pets allowed.”

1. Read the full pet policy before you tour
   Look for limits on number of pets, deposits, fees, and any breed or size considerations. The Whimsical Pig’s welcomes up to two pets, with no weight restrictions and some breed restrictions. Find other details like pet rent and deposit here: The Whimsical Pig Amenities & Pet Policy
