Finchley Pet Directory
Our community is made up of many brilliant and committed people who care tremendously for their own and other people’s pets. Here is our very small notice board-style directory of some of the people that we know in Finchley and the surrounding area.
Our Finchley Pet People
Let us know if there is anyone you think deserves to be on the list and we will try to arrange to meet them. Or maybe you would like to be listed yourself, in which case please get in touch it would be great to meet you.
Please note the listing of a business here does not mean that we are making a recommendation to you about the quality of their service—make sure you ask for references and canvas the feedback from other customers before entrusting anyone with your pet.
