Bullring Pet Centre have several stalls on the Rag Market. Being a city dweller and rabbit owner,…read moreI've found it's hard to get supplies anywhere in town and that I have to travel out to the larger supermarkets to buy things like hay and rabbit food. These stalls are really handy if I happen to be in town when the markets are on and save me a trip to the big Tesco. As well as food for most pets they stock a large range of bird feeders, padded dog and cat beds from £6, collars, leads, flea drops, shampoos, dog chews from 40p, cat toys which can be used for rabbits too and, if you have a big dog, you can get a ginormous bone for just £2 called a 'postman's leg'; that's value for money right there!

Because the centre of Birmingham is a capital wasteland and people don't like to be reminded about real life, like picking up dog shit when walking around there is a lack of pet shops. This one hidden in the rag market (well not hidden its massive) has got everything you need to keep your non-human loved ones alive. And if your low on money the dog food is cheap and tastes pretty good.

When my folks, who live in the area, look after our dogs, this is where we get their food. The prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly. There is a fairly wide pavement outside the shop, which means that you can pull on and load up with your supplies. If these spaces are not available then there are a couple of side roads where you can normally get a spot, although this does mean lugging stuff across the sometimes busy Hawthorn Road

Great service and advice and Susie is very knowledgeable. Will definitely be going back.read more

My wife adores our cats, but the love comes at a price - endless, and perhaps slightly irrational concerns over their wellbeing. It's a sympathetic surgery, then, that is able to walk that fine line between getting vets' jobs done and accommodating a pet owner's protective streak. Lydon was absolutely perfect when it came to having our female kittens spayed, talking us though the process and even patiently permitting us to rearrange the appointment when owners' cold feet sowed needless doubts over whether the cats had finished their season (potentially complicating the spay procedure). The truth is, Lydon takes as much care over humans as it does its furrier customer base.
