They have an array of stock for all pets and reptiles, including bedding, cages/homes for the pet, food and general dried goods. One of the really great things about this store is that the staff genuinely know what they are talking about, they are full of advice and information to suit all pet owners. They also have some books too, which is useful if you if you are thinking about getting a pet. It is quite impressive in comparison to the bigger chain pet stores that are around and it is also so much cheaper! I would definitely recommend this store to anyone who has pets especially reptiles!

I freaked out and ran down to the pet centre to ask for help on this unpleasant issue. The staff were friendly and did not try to oversell products in an attempt to increase their profit margins. I was sold a spray, a flea comb and a solution to rub into my kitten's skin and fur. Two days later and my kitten is flea free. Thank You Kings Heath Pet Centre. They also have goods for all types of pets and animals, ranging from dogs to your more exotic pets. It is also a great place to bring the kids if you have any. The Cockatoo is one of my main reasons for coming here on un-cat related issues. He/She will quite happily mimic your words if you don't mind looking a little bit silly in front of the other customers. Kings Heath Pet Centre also sells your regular supplies such as litter and food pouches. Their prices are competitive with the larger supermarkets that have the pleasure in buying in vast stock quantities. If you own a pet and live in the vicinity, then Kings Heath Pet Centre is the place for you.

There is a wide range of products for each type of pet, all of my cat and guinea pig needs were well catered for. The staff are friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable. My main reason for visiting the pet centre was always to see the cute animals, especially the furry little bunny rabbits! *Awww* So cute! There is always a large parrot who occasionally gives people a fright but suddenly squawking or flapping his wings as you go past. Any excuse to go in and I'm there!

It is a nice setup inside and it is full of treats, toys and food for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds and rabbits.

The prices are not too bad as I have been to more expensive pet stores in Birmingham before. I am not sure what the other items are like, but my cat certainly likes the cat food from here, so that is great. I would recommend this store to those in the area who have pets!

Our cat was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure secondary to Hypertension. This is very common in elderly cats and can be managed for many years with anti-hypertensive medication and diet. We were looking for suitable food and (regrettably) asked the manager. We then got a 20 minute lecture telling us we had been killing our cat because we had fed him Gourmet Gold for years. Apparently it is made from feathers and bones. Really? So how would he explain this in cats who had not been fed Gourmet Gold or indeed the many humans that have never eaten cat food! I work in Medicine so know how frighteningly ridiculous his statement are but can you imagine telling an elderly woman that she is killing her cat? On a separate occasion, he came up to our dog whist we were browsing and said she was ill because her coat wasn't glossy. Her coat is white and has never been glossy. He tried to sell us some dry food that I had no intention of buying. He then went on to try and sell us some ointment for her warts that was used on World war one soldiers in the trenches. What? Again, another unbelievable statement that shows this man has absolutely no idea that warts and caused by a virus and unless they bother the dog, there is no suitable treatment other than surgery and even that will not eradicate the papilloma virus. And as for my dog been ill, she is now 17 and perfectly healthy and happy despite her coat isn't glossy. Sadly, although the other staff are lovely, I have stopped going there because of the obnoxious owner. If the manager is reading this then I suggest you stop accusing owners of killing their pets and gain some knowledge in basic animal medicine which you clearly haven't got. Your comments and "advice" deeply concern me and if you were a health professional, I would have reported you to the GMC/NMC for gross misconduct and dishonesty. I now shop elsewhere and would suggest others do the same if they don't want to listen to this man spouting utter idiotic nonsense.

Very rarely do I go into pet shops. But never have I seen reptiles being available to buy from a…read moreshop. I know that sounds crazy but what I saw in this shop was a real shock I have to say. Children under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult to enter this shop. From snakes to lizards, these are some of the reptiles on show at Pets and Aquatics. The shop itself is small and there is not exactly much room to move about in. Because of this, you are actually quite close to the reptiles on show. Children under the age of say for instance eight could be scared by the reptiles featured in Pets and Aquatics so my advice would be not to take them. However that is just my view and parents still might want to take their children to see the snakes and lizards. There are however fish tanks to see so it's not just about reptiles. Not a bad place in my view and Pets and Aquatics might well be a place where you want to purchase pet food from.

Here there are more display racks and shelves with house plants like yukkas and palms, and vegetable plants such as tomatoes. There's a whole separate section clearly marked 'Bedding Plants' so if you are buying one for a gift then you don't have to look a fool by asking if what you have in your hand is suitable. They have a good line in Asiatic plants including the bizarrely named Mount Duckling. Inside is a modest array of pets including budgies, and some toys and feed for pets too.

I've bought my fair share of lavender plants, marigolds and chrysanthemums from here, and they're still growing steady in my garden. Lots of gardening shops I've been to sell plants that look unhealthy and weak, but Pets & Gardens makes sure that it only sells strong and multi-flowering plants (which is exactly what every gardening shop should do!) The inside of the shop is a little small, and very few people can fit in at one time. There's a few cages at the back which contain small pets. I nearly bought a hamster from here last year, but the staff didn't know which cage was for males, and which was for females, which I found a little worrying. Pets & Gardens is great to buy bird seed from, and costs as little as 60p for £250g. I always buy the seed from here for my outdoor feeders.

However they do have everything you need for basic pet care; from vitamins and minerals to massive cages, so I treated my hamster. They also have a small aquarium and reptile centre but for some reason that isn't always open. I wasn't surprised about the animal care because the staff didn't seem to care much either. I asked for a cage within my budget and the woman just pointed in the direction, not guide me there. Not only that I had to take it from the top shelf because there was no one there to help! Talk about breaking the safety rules. When I got the check out the woman could see I was struggling to fit the large cage in the bag so what did she do? Carried on serving other people whilst I was still at the check out! So I had to bag my purchases on the floor!! It would have been nice if she put a smile on her face, even if it were fake. Even though they have good prices, I won't be coming back here because I felt sorry for the animals and the customer service put me off.

Their prices constantly outstrip those of bigger, chain pet stores, and I've bought a pet carrier (£17.85) and a hutch and run (£109.99) from there. Both are excellent, and still serve me now, and I'd certainly look to them if I needed similar equipment in the future. As well as this kind of product, they sell food, rugs, scratching posts, essentially anything you can name to do with pets. They also, of course, sell the pets themselves, with an impressive range covering everything from rabbits to rodents and birds to bearded dragons. The staff are also extremely helpful, even coming out of the shop to ask if you need help if you're looking at the various hutches at the front.
