Cudahy, WI

95 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Situated about a 15-minute drive from downtown Milwaukee, Cudahy rests on the edge of Lake Michigan and was originally known as the Buckhorn Settlement. The city changed its name just before the turn of the 20th century when Patrick Cudahy moved his meatpacking industry there -- just outside of Milwaukee's city limits. Cudahy's family business is still operating in the area, and you may now have guessed how the city derived its new name. Because of the excellent location, Cudahy's rental prices are just a little over the average for Wisconsin, but you should also bear in mind that they are lower than the national average. July and August are the warmest months here, when the average daily temperature regularly reaches the mid-seventies. See more

Finding an apartment in Cudahy that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.

While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.

If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
