Staff are really nice and helpful and there's also a big selection of daft squeaky toys in a variety of mad shapes available.

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 staff are always very pleasant and helpful, they know what they are talking about and have previously recommended vets and grooming services to me before, which is always very handy to know. 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!

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.

Large pet shop situated on York Road in Kings Heath…read more When I lived in Kings Heath I had a cat and a guinea pig and often visited the Pet Centre. 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!

I was actually really impressed when I made my first visit into Barkin' Mad as I was only expecting to see stuff from like dog beds, dog toys, dog chews to large bags of rabbit food. Not to actually see any reptiles in there! The name of the store had deceived me ;) I say that if you live locally, you should most definitely check out what they have as I'm sure that they restock every so often and have in store different reptiles and tarantulas on different dates. At the back of the store as well, the have a huge collection of live cockroaches, grasshoppers, maggots and other insects. Even though I didn't buy anything, I was highly entertained by looking at what they had in store.

This is a tiny little pet store, probably the smallest one I have ever been in to! It is…read morewell-stocked and they even have some caged birds in there, which I was amazed by considering the size of the place. They also have a lot of advice and information displayed, which is handy if you need help with your pet's requirements. The staff are quite friendly in here, if not a little quiet. I found what I needed quite easily when I went in, which was some cat biscuits and so there was no need for me to ask for any assistance. They also had a few bits and bobs stocked outside such as dog treats, which was nice and also sensible as they really are bursting at the seams inside. Overall, it is a great little pet shop!

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.

I've been visiting Noah's Ark since I was a teenager and enjoy supporting local stores where the staff make you feel welcome. As such, I will happily go out of my way to shop here thanks to the exceptionally friendly service you receive from the owner and staff. This is a traditional local store, so don't expect the range and volume of supplies you may in some chain Pet stores, but they usually have what you need and the friendly service always leaves a smile on the face! Well worth a visit!

Noah's Ark Aquatic & Pet Centre is a small local pet shop that specialises not only in a small…read morerange of animals to purchase, but also various fishing equipment, including rods, tackles, and live bait. Quite why Noah would feel the need to go fishing (given that he's got two of every species of animal on the boat with him, you think he'd struggle to find time), but given that he's evidently taken up the pastime, he could do a lot worse than visiting his namesake's store. The prices are extremely reasonable (around £30 for a good quality rod which will last you more than a couple of seasons) and the staff are friendly and helpful in giving advice, both on animals and the fishing equipment, even if you've made it clear that you're not looking to buy there and then. Additionally, make an purchase of over £10 and any local delivery is free.

The bloke that runs it is very helpful and is happy to order in anything for you that he doesn't currently carry in stock. I asked about the Nature Diet brand of wet dog food that our dogs prefer and he was happy to order in and sell me a box. A 15Kg breeders pack of dry dog food, which he did have in stock, was £11, which is very competitive when compared against the expense and hassle of driving out to a retail park and visiting a larger store, where you might get it for a pound or so cheaper. The last time I went in to the shop they were having issues with their phone line, so if you ring the number it might be dead, but the shop is very much alive and well worth a visit if you have dogs, cats or other super furry animals.

The staff are also friendly and very helpful, when I was waiting to be served the chap behind the counter was giving another customer some advice on food and medication for her dog - something about giving it before or after or with food, so they obviously know what they are talking about. The prices are also reasonable although I have been to cheaper pet stores, but it is not as expensive as some of the chains. Overall, I think this is a good store and would recommend it if you live locally and you have a pet!

They have an array of stock for all pets and reptiles, including bedding, cages/homes for the pet, food and general dried goods.

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!
