One of the worst shops for buying animals and so called knowledge. There's been two occasions I've…read morehad to butt in a correct staff from sharing false information to a naive customer. One staff member though it was ok to sell 3 gold fish and a 5 gallon fish tank, goldfish grow big and a tank that size is plain cruelty and abuse for one, let alone 3! The staff member scowled at me because I interrupted her sale. Reported her to her manager and nothing was done as they are still pushing too small of tanks with goldfish onto customers. Another occasion when they started selling reptiles, yet didn't sell thermostats! I asked why to get "they don't need them" excuse me?! Any serious keeper would 100% tell you otherwise. Heat mats can and will severely overheat and cook your reptile and kill it. After a while they stopped selling reptiles (wonder why that is?!) They are ok for food and supplies, but when it comes to animals then stay well alone as it's not just the bad advice, it's also quality of the animals as they buy animals in large bulk which increases the chance of unwell individuals. I had a crested gecko from them once and died within 24 hours even though ones I have from good quality breeders are thriving wonderfully!

The shop has everything you would need for your pets. They have a very good range of things from…read morefood to toys and a selection of pets for sale such as fish and rabbits. The staff are always friendly and helpful and will show you where things are if need them to. When we were thinking of buying a rabbit the staff gave us lots of information such as everything we would need to care for it and some advice on how to look after it which is good as they aren't just selling them to anyone.

I went in to see if I could get my little dog and cat a little present and came out with a bag of stuff. It is great value for treats and chew toys. If you have just bought a pet do not go to Pet Smart or anything like that. This store has beds and bedding for all types of animal and collars etc. It really is a great shop.

He makes you feel very welcome when you enter the shop and usually Holly is there to greet you too with a wag of her tail. Mary who grooms the dogs is a very gentle and kind lady and my dogs always come home stress free after being groomed by her. I for one will keep going back to this shop. thank you Andrew and Mary for all your care and attention for myself and my pets. Diane O'Hara Eastburn

Really nice independent pet shop. It's small, but sell everything you need (probably!). They even…read morehave some live animals available to buy, like rabbits and guinea pigs. I once went in and they were being treated to nice bits of veg and salad which I thought was nice. They obviously care well for the animals. The staff are friendly.

I pop in regularly to pick up stuff for the family pets, and have always received great service. They stock a full range of food, treats, bedding and have a great range of fish. Great advice too.

It's stupid to visit pet stores without an actual pet, I know, but I feel that being an animal…read morelover and coveting domestic cats is enough to warrant going in for a look. Tailwaggers is a very cute pet store. They sell all the usual things that you would want from a pet store, various animal feeds, flea treatments, specialist pet items and so on. They also do a range of dog and cat baskets, cushions and toys - and loads of really cutesy items that in a lot of ways pleases us more than the animals themselves! The door way also has a number of advertisments, almost like a community board, with all kinds of useful information and numbers. I think when I finally can afford to have my own pet cat I will almost certainly be visiting here to set myself up for pet ownership! Certainly the staff are friendly and helpful enough to answer any queries you might have if you too are thinking of getting an animal of your own.

I love pet shops....that don't have pets for sale in- those always make me feel sad…read more Anyway. this shop is great. Merlot and I quite often come in as a treat (for him, i'm not too bothered about chewy sticks and squeaky toys). He walks around having a good old sniff of every chewy and knuckle bone and picks out what he shall be having a chomp on later in the day. he also likes to have a deep sniff of the hamster bedding for some reason, but that is by the by. Angela runs the shop and has quite a dry sense of humour, but so clearly loves all animals and always has a cuddle with Moo. Her blind Irish setter is always about somewhere too and is a real sweetie! As an aside, If anyone is wanting puppy/dog training lessons...Angela is the person to talk to as she does evening classes in Headingley, Alwoodley, Otley, Harrogate and at the dogs trust (I've just looked that up, I didn't know it!)
