Today we want to fill you in on everything we know about pets in Greensboro. You all are probably not here searching for the same things but either way there should be plenty of info to help you figure out your next move.
We think the best way to kick this off is to dive right into the best Greensboro pet stores. You can buy puppies, kittens, toys, food, and supplies and they are kind of like a one stop shop to handle most of your needs.
The top local animal shelters for dog or cat adoption will be up next. Dog parks, puppy trainers, and dog bakeries in your area will garner our next three sections.
After that it will be time to discuss grooming and dog or cat cafes around the area. We can’t assume everyone reading this lives here so we will mention some good hotels that allow pets near you.
As we continue to move forward the best places for pet boarding near you will be discussed, and then some unfortunate topics like veterinarians and dog or cat cremation services will get you out of here. Be sure to check out the local animal lover map that can help you figure out which places are closest to your current area.
The Southeast is an area we have written many other guides for on our site if you are interested.
Best Pet Stores In Greensboro
You may want to buy a new puppy or kitten or you might just need to get some new toys, food, or supplies and these best pet stores in Greensboro can help with all of the above:
There will be a wide variety of collars, leashes, toys, carriers, beds, and other pet supplies at each of those stores. At All Pets Considered they have a huge selection of all natural pet foods including raw frozen food for dogs and cats.
They also have breed specific gifts for pet lovers, do grooming services, and even have a pet bakery in their store. To be fair a lot of these local pet stores are sort of like hubs that provide all kinds of services, for instance The Natural Dog also does grooming and dog training.
As the name suggests they are another good spot to buy healthy pet food. Proformance Pet Supply is a good spot to get vitamins and supplements for your pets.
At Triad Reef Critters you will find all kinds of freshwater and saltwater fish, corals, invertebrates, rocks, aquariums and supplies. They can even do custom aquarium designs, installations, and maintenance for commercial or residential clients.

Animal Shelters & Adoption
Consider visiting one of these animal shelters before you decide to go the buying new route:
The animal shelter at the SPCA Of The Triad is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of neglected, abused, and injured animals in the area. They do great work in the community when it comes to proving food, medical care, and spay or neuter services.
Guilford County Animal Shelter is much in the same as they can also do spay and neuter procedures. Anyone who wants to adopt a dog, cat, or other pet should find something they like at both of the above shelters.
They are also two of your best contacts to have if you are involved in a situation involving a lost or found pet in the area.

LeBauer Park
Stephen M. Hussey Bark Park at Country Park
Southwest Dog Park

Puppy Training
To speed up their learning curve sign up for one of these puppy training services:
There will be a variety of options at the above ranging from group puppy training classes to private dog training courses. Red Beard Dog Training has a board and train program and provides consultations.
Nanhall also has a grooming spa as the name suggests, and they even have a pet grooming class where you are the student. They also have a daycare and boarding facility, and their soft touch obedience classes can be really helpful for little guys who don’t want to listen.
Dogs Anonymous Dog Training also does dog walking and pet sitting in addition to in-home training, off leash training, and other behavioral courses. Other places we have mentioned throughout the post that also do dog training include The Natural Dog, Best Friends Bed & Biscuit, and PetSuites.
Dog Bakeries
We don’t know of any places that are specifically dog or pet bakeries near you, but remember that in the best stores section we said that All Pets Considered has a bakery and makes dog birthday cakes in their store. Plus they have a big selection of healthy treats to choose from.
Pet Grooming
These pet groomers will make sure your dog or cat is looking their best:
In addition to standard dog grooming and a self-serve dog wash Dirty Dogs also has extra services to maximize their health like skin and coat therapy, paw renewals, de-shedding, blueberry spa treatments, and de-matting care.
Pets-U-Love Inc has a grooming school to teach the owner, plus they can do boarding and will even help with wildlife rehab. Dogterra Grooming will bathe dogs of all breeds and sizes.
There are plenty of other options for pet grooming near you like All Pets Considered, The Natural Dog, PetSmart, Nanhall Pet Spa, Lawndale Veterinary Hospital, Sheets Pet Clinic, Burlington Road Animal Hospital, Nanhall, and Ruff Housing.
Pet Cafes In Greensboro
Dog, cat, or other pet cafes in Greensboro are good places for them (or you) to make a new friend:
One of the coolest parts about Crooked Tail Cat Café is that all the cats are adoptable! They even say on their site that they provide coffee, tea, treats, and a kitty matchmaking service.
In case the name doesn’t give it away we do want to stress that Crooked Tail isn’t an all pet café, no dogs should show up. That is fine because dog lovers can head over to Doggos Dog Park & Pub.
OK, this isn’t a dog café per se and the beverages are more of the adult variety, but any human that is 21 and older and any dogs that are friendly, fixed, and vaccinated can have a whole lot of fun at this unique locale.

They will get the best medical care possible if you take them to one of the best veterinarians in your area:

Anyone that needs urgent or 24 hour emergency veterinary care should be able to get it from Lawndale Veterinary Hospital, Guilford-Jamestown Veterinary Hospital, and Southwoods Animal Hospital.

You can get the standard private or group cremation services at Companah or you can try out there environmentally friendly water cremation. They serve the Piedmont area including Kernersville and High Point.
The in-home pet euthanasia services from At Home Veterinary Housecalls will make their last moments a lot less stressful than a trip to the vet ever would. You can see a list of adoptable pets at the SPCA of the Triad at that link, or from the Guilford County Animal Shelter right here.
