Readers' Choice

From playgrounds and classrooms to grooming tables and exam rooms, kids and pets keep family life full of energy, laughter and love.

This month’s Readers’ Choice: Kids + Pets Edition celebrates the Somerset Hills businesses that local families count on to care for, teach, support and spoil the youngest members of the household—whether they have two legs or four.

Chosen entirely by reader votes, this year’s winners represent the trusted places, professionals and services that make everyday family life a little easier, happier and more connected. We’re proud to announce the August 2026 Readers’ Choice winners for the Somerset Hills.
