It's no secret that I'm a sucker for pet shops - so with that fact in mind I'll try to be as unbiased as possible. It's not just a shop- it's a superstore! It is to your local pet shop what B&Q is to the tiny hardare shop around the corner. They stock bedding and pet food in bulk - perfect for kenels I imagine, and have a vast aquarium section. It's pretty tempting too when little electric coloured fishys are priced at a mere 99p - but don't get carried away; the start up costs for fish are huge - even more so than any other animals. Plus, fish are so delicate that my friend and I managed to make a game out of spotting the casualties floating at the top of the tank!
You can literally get EVERYTHING for pets here; toys, treats,cages, leashes, collars, pet guides, dog clothes, cages, beds... the list goes on. There's even a comprehensive selection of "Beware of" signs for every breed of dog - even the ridiculous chihuahua!
There's a small animal section, and a touching adoption area where the animals automatically become more cute by association with abandonment. Disappointingly, there were no larger animals like cats and dogs to coo over, and the bird section has disappeared. So don't go looking for that budgie for Granny here. read more
