For example there is a large amount of different animal feeds in a pay per scoop system, which is quite good as you can bag up as much as you need yourself. There are also pet toys/treats etc that you can't find in pets at home, and there always seems to be new and innovative things for pets in the shop. The shop used to sell live animals (nothing bigger than rabbits though) and now they don't - i'm not sure for the reason for this but it used to be nice to wander in and have a look at them! The staff are knowledgeable about the products and about animals and they are also very friendly and good to chat to while you buy!

Gentleman in there is very rude and talked to me like I was dirt. Always was kind to him complimenting him on the products and how affordable they were. Always purchased items from there over a fiver which judging by how empty it is there all the time made at least a slight difference to him. Never again will I buy something from there.. There are ways to talk to people but he was just plain rude and unprofessional. I've managed a couple of shops and never have I ever talked to my customers in that way.. Without customers you won't be able to make a living..! Simple!

I was really pleased to be able to book in with short notice and was told to bring Alfie in at 10am. When I arrived we were shown the groom parlour and it was ok but I didn't like how many dogs were already there in cages. I asked for Alfie to have a "teddy bear cut" (quite common for shih tzus) but she didn't know what this was. I explained and she said "like a westie?" I said that that would be ok and she said it would be £45 and told me Alfie would be ready at 3 pm I was a little shocked and didn't like the thought of him being in a cage for hours but against my better judgement left him. I was called at two to be told that he wouldn't be ready until 4!!! I turned up at 4 and had to wait for a further 20 minutes. Alfie was very pleased to see me and she told me that I need to train him to hold his head still for his fringe cut!!!! What??!! My other groomer hasn't had an issue with him! But he looked ok so I paid my money and frankly was glad to be out of there. Alfie is uneven but clean. I wouldn't use here again and for small dogs, I don't think the groomer is particularly skilled. My normal groomer makes a particular time slot for Alfie and sticks to it. She has no more than two dogs at a time and that's because she's waiting for pick up when she takes her next client. She's cheaper (£30) and Alfie comes back with an amazing groom and smells beautiful for a week!! Most importantly Alfie is happier with her. In fact she said he's the easiest pup she's ever done!! I would never go back to The Huntsman and wouldn't recommend anyone else to. If you're looking for somewhere for your pooch to have a bath and comb while you have the day out I guess it's ok but NOT a nice experience grooming parlour. Sorry :-(

The pick and mix dog treats and bird food is a good idea as I do not like to buy big packs so prefer choosing my own. They also have livestock in the shop which look healthy and well cared for.
