Huntington's University River City Market
Huntington is West Virginia's second-largest city, positioned where the Big Sandy River meets the Ohio River at the state's western corner. Marshall University creates an academic community that elevates pet ownership and service expectations in the city. The university's faculty and staff form the primary professional walking market alongside the healthcare workers at Cabell Huntington Hospital and the St. Mary's Medical Center.
The Ohio River is Huntington's defining geographic feature, and the Rotary Park and Harris Riverfront Park along the Ohio provide the city's best outdoor walking destinations with river views.

Ohio River and Tri-State Access
Huntington's position at the tristate corner of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio creates a regional market that occasionally crosses state lines. The Ohio River waterfront parks provide pleasant river walking, and the surrounding hills of the Allegheny foothills give active dog owners access to forested trail hiking within a short drive.
