Right now we will fill you in on everything we know about pets in London. You all are probably not here searching for the same things but there should be plenty of info available to help you plan your next move either way.
We think the best way to kick this off is to dive right into the best London pet stores. You can buy toys, food, and supplies and they are kind of like a one stop shop to handle most of your needs.
The top animal shelters for dog or cat adoption near you will be up next. Local dog parks, puppy trainers, and dog bakeries will garner our next three sections.
Then we will be pivoting grooming and dog or cat cafes around town. We can’t assume everyone reading this lives here so we will mention some good hotels that allow pets in your area.
As we continue to move forward the best places for pet boarding in town 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 map towards the end that can help you figure out which places are closest to your current area.
