From the outside it is plain to see this is the only place in north Bristol to come for all your pet supplies. When I stepped inside there was that brilliant oh so familiar pet shop smell. You know, that kind of dog food chew mixed with dry hay smell. It makes you want to leave the shop with a big sack of bird seed even though you only have a goldfish!

Not so Roxfords though and this is a testament to the beauty of Gloucester Road and the inhabitants of Bishopston. Yes they don't do as many deals on cat food and litter as the big supermarkets and chains but they do stock a wide range of food, bedding, treatments and toys at competitive prices. And there are cute little bunnies and rodents to gawk at as well as a good range of items for tropical and freshwater fish tanks.

The prices seem more reasonable than most other independent pet shops I've visited, and there's a far better selection of goods in stock than you might expect. Everything I've bought from Olly's Polly's to date - mainly dog-related bits and bobs including a collar and several squeaky toys - have been of good quality. They sell Burns dog food, too, which isn't always easy to come by. Check the opening hours before you make a special trip here, because they're closed all day Sunday and Monday, and Wednesday afternoons - and then on the other weekdays when they're open, they close for an hour at lunchtime! Oh, and be sure to introduce yourself to the resident parrot (unless you're ornithophobic, of course).

From long lasting fish food sticks to cat litter trays you can help your pet feel more a part of your family (and sometimes treat them better than you treat alot of your family!) The staff always have a big beaming smile and it puts to shame the often cold approach that many main stream pet stores seem to adopt.

It's great that The Pet Shop provides an alternative from chain store pet shops, the staff are clearly animal lovers and will happily stand and chat with you about the price of fish... not literally, they don't sell fish!

No, I wasn't treated to a bag of hay or a chew toy, my present was the furry kind, a hamster to be precise. I was really nervous (the last hamster incident I was involved in ended in blood and being mentally scarred for life) but the owner was absolutely lovely. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, giving us a full history of his current stock of hamsters and stressing that he only uses particular breeders. As this goes for all the small animals he sells, this means that customers can rely on healthy, happy and docile animals. As well as the hamster in question, we also bought all the necessary paraphernalia that one needs to take care of it. Once again the owner gave us expert knowledge on what kind of cage we needed and once we got the hamster home I rang this shop up practically every other day for advice and he was nothing but patient. Definitely recommend this place for all your pet needs, particularly if you are looking to buy a healthy, friendly pet.

It sits sandwiched between some ropey-looking shops, usually with teenagers congregating outside, but if you can get past that, the pet shop itself is smart and clean enough. When I took my greyhound into the shop, the owner struck up conversation with me because he too owns a greyhound, who's usually with him at the shop on weekdays (but this was a Saturday). I'll have to pop back sometime to introduce the two dogs! The range of stock is good - including lots of packets of dog and cat food, bird food, rabbit food, hamster cages, dog beds, and most pet accessories you'd expect to find in a small, independent pet shop. It's handy if I need to pick something up urgently without going out of my way, and I'd rather support a small independent shop like this when I can rather than automatically falling back on Pets at Home every time, which is also far further out of my way.
