Bark's Pets is a local pet shop located in County Road. Unlike the larger pet stores which usually…read morecharge at incredibly high prices for simple things such as general pet equipment, Bark's pets is a little more reasonable. This is also the biggest pet shop in County Road and one which has a decent variety of well looked after pets, accessories and food. The staff are always friendly and willing to help although at times you need to be patient before you get seen to, as it does get busy on occasions. If you are a lover of pets, this is a great place to come for a browse and be able to obtain tips and advice from knowledgeable staff. Personally, I have been to places that sell a wider variety of fish but if you're after reptiles or spiders for instance, then this is your Aladdin's cave!

Having felt rather broody lately I have decided to get a pet. I had tried to find Freshfields…read moreAnimal Rescue, as I'd much rather re-home a lonely unloved creature than trade in them, but without the postcode I couldn't find it. So craving something cute and in need of something to do, I set off to Lister Drive. I was surprised at how busy the place was, it is after all just a pet shop, but there was a steady stream of visitors buying and browsing. First stop was the fish pool as my guest had not seen it before. Walking by the old turnstiles into the old baths, It was just like I remember, small tanks surrounding the pool filled with giant koi- they really are huge some estimated to around twenty pounds. This area was quite busy and clearly still a big attraction. Next, on to the aquarium room filled with numerous species of fish: discus, sturgeon, piranha and my favourite, the parrot fish. There's also crabs, terrapins and unusual frogs, they're tiny and a nude flesh colour. Then to the birds! Another huge space with around 8 aviaries:cockatials, canaries, budgies, finches, African grey parrots even hens and I what I thought were quails! All the birds looked really healthy: bright colours, full plumage and chirruping happily despite the rather cold environment. Finally on to the rodents; this section is quite small spatially though the offering is plentiful. There were several rabbits: dwarf, dutch and lop eared, some guinea pigs, hamsters gerbil and mice, a couple of ferrets, some kittens, and even some chipmunks. I could have stayed a lot longer pining for one of those bright eyed bunnies but it was rather claustrophobic and some people younger than myself , though no more demanding, were desperate for a look in. Begrudgingly I acquiesced. There is a dense selection of pet products: food, cages, baskets, aviaries, tanks and toys; the prospect of looking and choosing is almost daunting. It is not as cheap as I remember, though is probably just average. Stood eating sticky ribs and Chinese chicken wings at the till, the staff don't really strike me as professionals I think they just sell the stuff. There is certainly no form of customer evaluation carried out regarding owner competence or the adequacy of home environment (as with Pets at Home and the animal rescue) as a child of a couple of years of age walked out precariously, proudly clutching a bag of goldfish.

I live near this place, and I've visited it often. But, this…read moreplace is not a good or safe place to buy your animals. I got a kitten from here, and literally didn't have to do anything to get her, no forms, no nothing. They haven't checked on her and I could have easily taken her somewhere where she'd be killed. They also gave poor information about fish when I went to get 6 minnows, they told me to get one at a time, which is false information. As well as this, their aquatics are often labeled incorrectly and the tanks are bare, overstocked and just cruel. The four fish I got from there, pearlscale goldfish, were covered in white spot. One of them has neurological problems (But he is doing well). I have had them for five months now, and the one with neurological problems has not recovered. They also housed many male russian dwarfs together that were fighting rather aggressively. A lot of their supplies are dirty, and look old. Actually, a hamster of mine got a new cage from this store and got sick and died shortly after. I don't know if the new cage was to blame though. I'd give this store 1 star, if its larger fish weren't so well cared for. In the fish room where the koi live, they're massive and they thrive. If you're looking for good fish decorations and food, this is your place. I'd be wary about the smaller fish. The staff vary, some are very rude and know next to nothing about the animals they're selling, others are very polite and seem to care about the animals they're selling. They need to make sure their fish are not sick, or disabled, and ensure that their rodents aren't housed together if they are too old to get along. However, the staff did kindly offer to drive my tank home for me, and carry it up. I think it just needs more maintence and they need to educate all their employees about the lives they are meant to be caring for.

I would say this place is a really good pet shop,it has a brilliant selection to choose from which…read moreinclude a good range of fishes to choose from which include goldfish,smaller fishes and larger fishes.

The Pet Centre in Walton Road is a basic shop where you can buy furry animals such as cute budgies,…read morekittens and dogs. It is very simple in style and not the most attractive of pet shops around. Though the shop is small in size, they offer an adequate choice of common pets and accessories to keep you well equipped for your pet(s) welfare. I once bought some dog food for a friend of mine here and the price was cheaper than most other pet shops and stores I had compared with. In terms of the quality of dog food, I wouldn't say it's exactly Pedigree Chump but you can certainly find food that contains similar ingredients. The staff are really friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to assist. Whilst you will find nothing special at this shop, it still operates well as a 'no frills' pet shop which is popular with many locals.

The…read moremembers of staff are really friendly and are always happy to help with anythink you need to ask them. They sell a wide range of animals from bearded dragons to clown fish. They also sell many different pet care products. If you are after specific animals in most cases you can get them ordered in for you, sometimes this requires a small deposit. All in all i personally think that this is one of, if not the best pet shop in Bootle/ Liverpool.

Excellent! Recently purchased a Chameleon and the full kit for a very good price. The owners were…read morereally helpful and full of knowledge. They gave me lots of advice and have been very helpful before and after my purchase. They have many other species such as Geckos, scorpions, spiders, tortoise and their snakes are unreal! The Super dwarf Boa in particular was fantastic. A good part of the experience was that I was able to interact with the Chameleon (now called Carlos) and with the snakes. As an enthusiast I found this a really nice touch as you get a feel for the temperament of the animal. Overall, I can't rate this place highly enough since the new owners have taken over. If you want an exotic species, this is the place to go!

Have you ever walked into a pet shop and immediately felt like there are too many animals in one…read morecage? Well this is one of those pet shops. It's quite a small space with a lot of stuff piled high. The store sells all the food and accessories for pets that you could need, although they are at quite a high price.

Although I've never purchased from here, the staff seem ok, but they've never asked if I need any help - just sort of leave you to it, which isn't really a problem.

As I walked into the shop I was amazed. What a spacious, deceiving and spotless labyrinth! This shop stocks everything you need for any pet.

I would recommend this pet shop to anyone looking for anything for their pet who wants a truly welcoming and professional service.
