Methodology
Northern Virginia Magazine ran an online reader poll to determine the 2019 list of Best Pet Care. We asked readers and pet owners to nominate their favorite services in a number of related categories. Although some winners choose to advertise in the magazine, no one can pay to be included on the list. The listing and advertising sections are separate entities.
