Welcome to this break down of everything we know about pets in Rochester. Expect to find plenty of helpful info here no matter if you are already a current owner or are considering getting a new special friend.
Our first section will totally cover the best Rochester pet stores. We figure since they are a good place to buy puppies, kittens, toys, food, and supplies they will probably be the most popular section of this post.
Contents
Local animal shelters should have plenty of dogs or cats for adoption and with how much overpopulation there currently is you may want to consider that route. The dog lovers will get the most from our next few sections which are about dog parks, puppy trainers near you, and dog bakeries.
Then we will jump into grooming and dog or cat cafes around the city. Pet friendly hotels will also get their own section for any new visitors to the area.
You will also learn about the best places for pet boarding near you if you are traveling out of town yourself. At the end we will get into some unfortunate topics like veterinarians and dog or cat cremation.
There will also be a local animal map to help you figure out which places are closest to your current area. You may also want to look through some of our other guides for more cities around the Northeast.
