They have a variety of livestock in the shop, either for sale (guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, hamsters, birds, fish etc.) or to "help" customers (a beautiful cat and several lovely dogs).

Kitten to Cat is an excellent cat-only veterinary surgery located in Kew Gardens. The surgery is…read moredesigned to make the whole experience less stressful for cats and everything has been extremely well thought out, from the feliway sprayed throughout the surgery to the sofas in the waiting room designed so that your cat carrier can be placed off the ground, as cats feel safer higher up. Both my cats are patients at Kitten to Cat and my Burmese loves visiting due to all the attention that the staff lavish on her. You can tell that all the vets are cat-lovers and that makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable. My Maine Coon has stayed in the cattery on a few occasions and for a cat that can't abide being brushed, she always comes back looking extremely well groomed with her nails perfectly trimmed. Little touches, like the Christmas cards, health club and handmade reminders to book your cats in for a booster make this vets a touch above all the rest and after using them I could never ever go back to all animals vet!

I'm sure that because they are cat only, it makes a visit to a vet less stressful as your cat wouldn't see or sense dogs around. They diagnosed my cat Bolli of a urinary problem very quickly and gave him great follow up care after his operation. Fantastic little touches like Xmas cards, texting of reminders of worming visits and brilliant free talks on animal behaviour & dealing with senior cat, in the hall across the road, also make Kitten to Cat worth registering with. The vets & nurses are all cat owners too and have a very calming influence on the cats. I can't say that Bolli loves going there, but once he's out of his carrier, he wanders around the consultation room quite happily, so I wonder what all the fuss is about. I'm sure if he could speak he'd also give Kitten to Cat a great rating!

Squires are a very popular garden centre, which is busy all year round…read more The high number of visitors means most of the stock is very fresh and not root bound. This makes a big difference as the quality is so much better and there plants tend to get off to a much better start once planted in the garden. They also have properly trained staff on hand to give plant advise - which probably accounts for why they are so popular. The downside is it's not the cheapest of garden centres - some of the bedding plants are almost double what you would pay in a DIY centre. Also the range of shrubs is a bit limited. If it was a restaurant it would have 3 Michelin stars - worth a long journey just to visit.

There are other Squires outlets, but for me the Twickenham branch, is a haven. When I was working…read moreon a project , there were three places I would go to check on their stock, and this was my first preference, though I would always save it as the last visit. Many garden centres have gone downhill and don't really take pride in their establishment , or worse are not knowledgeable on what they are selling. The plants they sell look as if they have met the patched and over frazzled soft shell crab from my other review. Not so here, and it is no surprise that this particular place has won various awards for its design layout. This for me is important since they have created an atmosphere that for me just leaves you to feel content and think freely. Yes there is the usual eating section which I never go to and pets corner , though I did find a use for bundles of straw and bugs bunny had long since taken a vacation. There is a good selection of gardening implements, fertilisers and growers, I am sure Percy Thrower would have been in his element. Once you have managed to pass the piles of soil , only you don't because there are so many different kinds , your uncertain which one to choose and then you notice.....oooh 3 for the price of 2 ...where's the trolly out of my way and you ignore the caution not to lift heavy objects on your own because you just want that bargain..and then oh dear you are already over loaded and you have not yet got to the plant section...and then you wield and guide and grunt and push....no don't worry this is still the same review...and you gaze in amazement at the symphony of colour. I need more time.. So back you go with the soil and you return at a later date...20 mins later you just dashed at ..the pace of a snail ;) For me the time to visit this branch is early Spring , March, for they have a collection of Rhododendrons ,Camellias , Magnolias, Azaleas and Acers that is second to none. I can't say if they will this year but last year they went that little bit extra and created a Japanese theme to complement it, It was then easy to get engrossed or yes I confess drool at a particular plant, and then imagining where I was going to plant it and how it would blend in with the rest of the garden, ..I would often get carried away and wonder what it would be like once it had fully matured. However, there will be no admissions of talking to plants or passing complements of beauty on its fauna. In the excitement of finding the right specimen and having giving it a thorough examination i might frequently get drawn to another...no honestly my feelings for you have not wained ..let me introduce you to...well okay it passes the time. I should point out that they don't just do Japanese plants, that is my particular choice, they have a wide variety and it is a large outlet. There are also two areas where you can obtain information. ..and when you completed your purchase they will if need be load your car up.

We had our first appointment four weeks ago when my dog needed her boosters. Roland, who's surgery it is, had booked extra time for our appointment so he could get to know Ponyo and me, which I thought was a fabulous idea. It made me feel very welcomed. We went through all the options regarding Ponyo's booster shots, what's was available and necessary. The surgery itself is a very clean, well designed space, with a few retail bits such as beds and crates and food. There's a separate waiting area for dogs and cats as well. Overall very happy that I chose this vet. Now let's hope I only need to come here once a year for routine check ups!!

I booked an appointment and was then charged the full consultation fee of £42 along with the other charges. The male receptionist was very patronising and told me no one would have told me this as there is no such thing. Received a call from Roland the following day who also stated that there must have been a misunderstanding as he would not say that and did not remember speaking to me over the phone. He did offer me the £42 off on my cats vaccinations bill next time i come in as a good gesture will which was not good enough for me as i didn't appreciate the way the receptionist spoke to me or the fact that Roland had said when people hear the word free they tend to concentrate on that and not hear anything else that comes after that! When i said i'd rather have the money refunded to me i was told this was not something he could do. Which i find very strange considering he's the owner of the practice. I guess it's a way of conning people into booking an appointment. Very disappointed
