Perfect 'superstore' to pick up all the essentials for your pet. Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs and all other household pets can be kitted out from top to tail in one visit with a huge selection of beds, hutches, pens, food, toys, collars, leads, shampoos... well, you get the idea. They have an in-store vet which seemed very popular the day we visited. The staff were super-friendly and helpful, the store was well stocked with a great selection and everything was totally affordable. They even sell smaller pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and LOADS of degus which are so cute (although my other half didn't seem as keen). All in all a great, affordable pet store. And, in case you were wondering, our new puppy is called Peggy and we are totally smitten! read more

Open on sundays but staff quite unhelpful. I went there on Sunday to purchase a couple of rabbits, to keep as pets in my garden. It took me about 15 minutes just to get to speak to someone of the staff. I wanted a male and a female bunnies, but I have been told they only sell either ones or the others. Really don't get the point of that policy, as if I am determined in having a mixed couple, I will then go to another shop and get the missing one there. It only results in unpleased customers and loss of sales. However, the staff member asked me where I was going to keep the bunny, and I said I think in my garden. He said I'll have to get a cage first, because of foxes, and I agreed. I have been shown several cages they had in the shop, but when I've asked if I can get home delivery, they had no clue of how much would that cost, or when that could be done. They have suggested to purchase and get delivery on-line, but they also have said that pets cannot be delivered and would have to get back to the shop and pick up one myself. I have asked if I could get the rabbit and keep it inhouse, until the cage gets delivered, and the answer was a no-no: they can eat cables and furniture. Strange, I thought that was not exactly of their business, and I should feel free to decide if I want get my furniture eaten, but again they have their policy, which is probably "we don't want to sell rabbits". Fine, that just means that I have to get home (after wasting half a day to get there), make an order online (again, why them? there are so many websites, even cheaper, therefore loss of sales), wait for the delivery, and then come back to the shop to let them ask me the same questions (would it be enough if I tell I have purchased a cage or will I have to show a proof of that?), and MAYBE finally purchase the rabbit I wanted. Of course that is not going to happen, as I'm afraid they've done enough to loose me as a customer. read more

I applied for a job at pets at home and got asked to attend their assessment evening which I enjoyed a lot. They said they loved me and I got asked to come back for a work trial and and interview on the 14th May. I asked to reschedule because at the time I was very ill and I was in the middle of my A-Level exams, and the assistant manager emailed back asking which dates I could do. I told her and I haven't heard anything back since despite sending 7 emails. I went into store and was told by another manager that I had to send an email, I told him that I had sent many and he told me that he couldn't help me, he didn't even look me in the eye while I was asking him for help. My mum then talked to the manager who said she would call me the next morning. it has been 2-3 weeks and she has not called me. I also overheard some staff members saying that they had just started and jobs were still available, they were at the same assessment as me! I was very upset about the way I had been treated so I sent an email to the head office, it has been 8 days and I haven't heard anything back from them either.I have heard stories similar to mine from friends and I think it is unacceptable to ignore potential staff members, especially ones who have a real passion for animals and want to work with them. I have wanted to work in Pets At Home since I started looking for jobs and this experience has put me off even buying from the store. I am only 17 and this is the first part time job I have applied for and it's been very upsetting. I would not encourage anyone to work in a Pets At Home store if they are rude enough to ignore people in this way. read more
