When my folks, who live in the area, look after our dogs, this is where we get their food. The prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly. There is a fairly wide pavement outside the shop, which means that you can pull on and load up with your supplies. If these spaces are not available then there are a couple of side roads where you can normally get a spot, although this does mean lugging stuff across the sometimes busy Hawthorn Road

The man that runs it is very helpful and gave us loads of advice on a few different animals that we have had, he even told us to pop back any time if we need advice.

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.

Yardley residents have more than their fair share of garden centres. There's the all-singing,…read moreall-dancing Ripe 'n' Ready up the road and then this, too. 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.

The staff are friendly enough, but due to the store's limited size, variety here isn't great and you may have a little trouble finding what you're looking for. The prices here aren't exactly spectacular either, with most branded pet foods priced higher than they are at Erdington Pet Store down the road, or at Bush Pet Supplies a short drive away in Kingstanding. Kevin's Pet Store is a handy place to stop by if you're out shopping in Wilton Market and are short of pet supplies, but if you'd prefer to get a better deal, you'd be better off travelling a little farther afield.

They specialise…read morein reptiles as their title suggests and I think this is great as many pet stores tend to forget about those little critters! 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!

Pype Hayes Veterinary Centre is my preferred choice when it comes to looking after my four legged friend. The staff here is friendly and extremely helpful. The vets themselves are knowledgeable and caring. The centre encourages you to register your pet online and they'll invite you to an Introductory Consultation. The centre regularly runs special offers, at the time of my visit there was 33% off Micro-chipping with a full vaccination course as well as free worming for all kittens and puppies at first vaccination. I signed up for the Pet Health Care Plan, it spreads my care costs over the year with affordable monthly payments rather than huge bills. The plan includes; annual booster vaccinations, full health check twice yearly, year round flea prevention and worming and much more. The cost is £10.00 for a rabbit, £11.00 for a cat, £11.50 for a small dog up to £16.00 for a big fat dog.

The old-fashioned frontage made up of dark wooden-beamed windows and weathered, hand-carved décor gives the store an attractive, oldy-worldy appearance, but it's interior is made up of concrete floors, low ceilings, make-shift shelving and cold, near-empty rooms. Prices of plants, hanging baskets and garden accessories are all pretty average, but the store's selection of pet products is both pricey and very limited. There's plenty available if you keep birds, rabbits or guinea pigs, but if you're a cat or dog person, you'll be gravely disappointed.

For the pet suuplies you can get treats for your furry and feathered friends such as cuttlefish and chews but the shelves looked very bare so more stock could have been put out perhaps pet food or toys?
