A large multi-purpose pet shop, this is situated in the Kingsway shopping precint just a short stroll off the town centre.
It might seem incongruous at first as it is situated in a huge Georgian buolding that once stood in it's own quiet grounds, the essence of graciousness. Now it is redolent with squeaks and chirps and bubbling of water tanks.
Set over several floors, there is a good supply of just about anything you might need for domestic pets - food, bedding, cages, toys, treats.
It is always fascinating to watch the many different small fish swimming in their tanks, and upstairs on the first floor you can see small rodent type pets for sale - hamsters, mice, guinea-pigs. Small children love to watch the little creatures as they await a good new home.
In fact, there is so much packed in that the customer floor space for humans, especially around the main tills, is rather limited and narrow and often involves a bit of a shuffle.
The assistants are always very busy and helpful, but for I sometimes wish they could wear more distinctive 'team tops' as I've almost mistakenly asked customers for advice in the past, believing they worked there!
All-round though an excellent store for all your domestic animal supplies. read more
