Our best buddies, our fuzzy family members, our animal companions — life wouldn’t be half as fulfilling without them. As pet owners, we only want the best for our furry (or feathery, or scaly, or aquatic) friends. That’s why we’re asking you, our readers, to point us to the premiere local pet places in Manchester for pet healthcare, recreation, shopping, and more. We’ll turn your answers into The Manchester Pet Guide.
Take a moment to fill out our quick survey below. We’d love to share the very best pet culture Manchester has to offer! Rover, Sir Meowington, and Tweety will thank you. Voting ends June 21.
