Why on earth would you want to take your cats in the car in this heat?

Needless to say, we will now shop elsewhere.

I love this pet store, I think it is really different and rather interesting too! They specialise…read morein reptiles as their title suggests and I think this is great as many pet stores tend to forget about those little critters! They have an array of stock for all pets and reptiles, including bedding, cages/homes for the pet, food and general dried goods. One of the really great things about this store is that the staff genuinely know what they are talking about, they are full of advice and information to suit all pet owners. 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!

A member of staff refused to sell them to us as they apparently only allow people to buy a maximum of 4 fish at once. This is despite the fact that the Neon Tetra (a small, easy to keep fish) is a shoaling species that needs to be kept in groups of at least 6! Extremely poor customer service and further training of their staff is obviously needed.

The Aquatic, Pet and Garden Warehouse is just on the outskirts of Swadlincote town centre, near the…read morebus station. To say this place has a comprehensive selection of products would be an understatement. The first half of the store is dominated by all things aquatic - plants, fish, food, aquarium tanks, outdoor ponds and large water tanks at the back, housing a wide variety of fish. As you move through the shop, there are hamster cages, pet food, bedding, books, magazines and of course animals to buy, like hamsters etc. It is such a large place, with such an impressive variety, if you can't get the item you need here, I would be surprised. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and on the whole the prices are competitive, apart from the niche products stocked in smaller quantities like hamster cages, that could double for 'Tracey Island' - they seem a little on the expensive side. The laws of supply and demand I suppose.

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.

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!

"Oooh, sourced from fields within five miles," goes my vaguely dad-like thinking, whereas previously I may have checked my watch and saw only the building blocks for chips. If , like me, you've made that leap, and didn't see it coming, you should be right at home here in this airy barn. While it specialises, as the name prompts, in horse feed and equipment (as befits the country location), there really is an appeal beyond the niche, with fresh produce for humans, along with plenty of equipment and food for animals which don't need a stable. With the range then diversifying into everyday items such as cans of pop and chocolate, right through to greetings cards, the whole effect becomes one of a country store, rather than a streamlined specialist enterprise. Well worth a look, especially if you want your potatoes from not just a field, but the Coldfield.

I popped into this store not too long ago and was astounded by the amount of stuff pets might need. That stuff has been produced and all of it is here. This is a huge double fronted shop that stocks anything and everything your pet pooch, and every other domesticated animal under the sun, would need. The prices seem reasonable and there were some very helpful staff knocking around assisting customers ad hoc. I picked up some dog treats for a great price. If you are into pets then this is the place for you!

I want to start by saying that this is a very hard review for me to write as I was…read moreso blown away by the amazing day I had I am struggling to put it into words. Yesterday I went for a venomous snake handling course after visiting the shop previously and learning about the service. The Unconventional Menagerie is an awesome place that rescues animals out of nothing but love in their hearts. They also aim to educate people about these incredible animals. Some of the animals they rescue were due to be destroyed or given up on, some were even considered 'impossible' to deal with but the UM took them in and not only have given them a new chance in life but an amazing quality of life in perfect setups. These animals are now lucky enough to be under the care of Christian and the UM staff who have more knowledge and experience about these species than anyone else I have ever known or seen (I have met a lot of rep keepers, shows, documentaries, books etc). They are truly passionate and dedicated to every individual under their care. ANYWAY THE SNAKE EXPERIENCE I arrived and met with Christian who explained to me the different safety procedures of keeping venomous reptiles from setups, the venom room and safety protocol. I own snakes but the feistiest thing I own is a hognose who is no comparison for who I would be meeting today. I have never used a snake hook before and it is safe to say I was a little nervous and excited. Christian very patiently taught me hook techniques and we practised on non-venomous snakes, I am not the quickest learner and my dexterity isn't great but I felt calm and learned very quickly under Christian's care. He is a fantastic teacher and I soon felt confident with my techniques whilst still having massive respect and caution around these snakes. I lost count of the snakes I met, they were all beautiful and amazing animals, I was told each one's history and what to expect, I was shown the ropes before handling each one. I met and interacted and held several rattlesnakes, spitting cobras, forest cobras, copperheads, sawscale vipers, true cobras, monocled, spectacled you name it. I met a gaboon viper and on some snakes, I was taught how to tube and pin them carefully. My dad and my partner were allowed to watch, take pictures (we even waited for a moment for a few to hood up so we good grab a good picture). I felt VERY safe and went from not having a clue to handling some feisty cobras within the course and with Christian's explanations and demonstrations I felt like I knew exactly what to do each step of the way. I also met a Caiman which I got to hold and saw a green mamba! The course is supposed to be 3 hours but Christian and the staff never made me feel rushed and we actually went over the time by at least an hour (It is hard to keep track of time when being surrounded by all these amazing animals). They even got out a few specific things I wanted to see that wasn't on the list and allowed me to go into the venom room and marvel at the animals before leaving (this was way past the course time I realised after I left). Yesterday beyond a doubt was one of THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE and the staff were so knowledgeable, friendly and patient I felt very safe and very happy. I am 100% going back and doing another course, the value for money is just insane when you think of all the time, money and knowledge not to mention the safety put in place for these sessions. Saying Christian and the staff went above and beyond is a true understatement and I can honestly not recommend this place enough. In a nutshell, if you want to do an experience, buy an animal or do anything with the UM don't think twice, Christian has been working with these animals since a kid as he was taught by family at a very young age and has been working with these animals since a very young age. The wealth of knowledge and experience Christian and the staff have can not be ignored, each animal and customer truly get the best care.
