I have yet to risk taking my very slobbery chocolate Labrador Toby into any groomers simply because…read morei'm afraid he will lick them to death and never be able to go back. I groom him myself but if I was going to trim him up I would definitely take hime into Molly's. My friend takes her massive labra-doddle there for her pampering treatment and having seen Betty just yesterday I can say they do a fine job. My friend trusts them, she tells me they are reasonably priced and that Betty enjoys her experiences there. I looked in the door the other day and noticed they have hoists for bigger dogs and they use something that looks like a hoover to hoover up the stray hairs. I'm definitely going to take Toby in, just for the sheer comedy of him getting hoisted up onto a table and hoovered!! He HATES our hoover so it should be a genuine comedy moment. One small thing: Molly's may have gone a little overboard with the doggy perfume on Betty - she was smelling like Boots perfume counter!

Having always had Dobermann's that don't need grooming as such from a groomers (I have always…read morewashed Maisy myself), it was with some trepidation that I had to search for a groomer for my newest addition - a 'Cockalier'. Spoke to some doggie friends and then did a rekkie to Molly's. Molly's have now given her two 'puppy' grooming sessions and just yesterday her first real cut. I am so delighted because they did what I wanted (unlike my hairdressers). Her hair is short enough to not tangle but long enough to still be the cutest dog ever (after Maisy that is). I love that she smells of baby powder. Finally Lola is quiet shy outside of the house but she just loves them which is so important to me.

We've only ever taken Ted to Dogalicious and Paws on the Avenue for his wash, cut and blow drys but…read morethis place recently opened on the Antrim road and is in walking distance from my house. I booked the appointment on Facebook messenger which was quick and easy. I was sent a text message to remind me of the appointment and when I arrived I felt right at ease. The man who working (may have been the owner) was polite and friendly. He told me to come back in about 45 mins however I got a text message 20 minutes later to say that Ted was ready to go. When I arrived the guy had Ted on his lap (well I think he was) because he wasn't in a cage or anything - he clearly loves dogs. Ted was groomed so well I almost didn't recognise him, his nails were cut, his coat was trimmed to perfection and he was smelling delightful. I thought Teds previous cuts were either to short or either not short enough but I thought this cut perfect! I will definitely not be going anywhere else from now on.

Pets at Home have absolutely everything your feathered and furry friends could possibly need…read more There's food, toys, beds, blankets, leads, fleeing and worming medication and a vet counter in store. This is a proper, massive pet supermarket and it's delightful to see dogs walking their owners around the store - if only more businesses could be as animal friendly! Plus with their loyalty card scheme they post discount coupons out, addressed to your pet by name, which is cute. Staff are also very knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant. However it drops a couple of stars for the following reasons: ~ A lot of items you buy from Pets at Home you'll find at the same price or cheaper in your local supermarket. So shop around. ~ I believe it unethical to support the breeding, buying and selling of animals as pets especially when sanctuaries and pounds are filled to overflowing with unwanted pets. Stores such as Pets at Home, which sell animals, just exasperate this problem.

A couple of weeks after my lovely pooch died, my almost as lovely other half tipped me into the car…read moreand drove me to Pets At Home. 'You need something small and furry to cuddle,' he opined as he parked, really quite badly, in the massive car park. 'Apart from me, of course.' Well. I'd never thought of getting a rabbit, but when I saw Bailey, lop-eared and twitchy-nosed, in one of the glass enclosures, I became a bit childlike. I bounced on the balls of my feet a bit, tugged at the other half's sleeve and batted my eyelashes in an alluring manner. (Hang on, that last one's just creepy.) The other half went to find a staff member, while I lurked jealously by the bunny's enclosure, shooting filthy looks at anyone who came near. Especially kids. But he was back within a minute with a very impressively knowledgeable sales assistant, who told me everything I needed to know about rabbits and what to get them. (I wasn't listening by this stage because she'd taken the rabbit out for me and I was cuddling her and cooing into her fur [the rabbit, that is, not the sales assistant, because that would also have been creepy]. But a general sense of really-knowing-her-stuff came through the haze of love.) The shop in general is very well equipped with everything you could need for all types of pet, and the prices are really reasonable, with a budget range of essentials like feeding bowls or doggy poop scoopers starting at a quid. So we duly got all the equipment we needed for the new member of the household, which included a special starter deal for the cage, food, feeding bowl, bottles and toys. Then we very gently took that wascally wabbit home. She's well settled in now, leaves little poo balls everywhere and has been the cause of me electrocuting myself three times with a lead she's chewed through. But I loves her. Cheers, Pets At Home.
