Only come here if you want to rescue their pets! I came here looking for a cage for my hamster and…read morefound that the animals have barely any room to move around and it's hard to believe they stay like that most of the day if not all the day. However they do have everything you need for basic pet care; from vitamins and minerals to massive cages, so I treated my hamster. They also have a small aquarium and reptile centre but for some reason that isn't always open. I wasn't surprised about the animal care because the staff didn't seem to care much either. I asked for a cage within my budget and the woman just pointed in the direction, not guide me there. Not only that I had to take it from the top shelf because there was no one there to help! Talk about breaking the safety rules. When I got the check out the woman could see I was struggling to fit the large cage in the bag so what did she do? Carried on serving other people whilst I was still at the check out! So I had to bag my purchases on the floor!! It would have been nice if she put a smile on her face, even if it were fake. Even though they have good prices, I won't be coming back here because I felt sorry for the animals and the customer service put me off.

As anyone who owns a pet will know, feeding and caring for them is an expensive business, which is…read morewhy I've always found myself pleasantly surprised by the prices at The Pet Centre. Their prices constantly outstrip those of bigger, chain pet stores, and I've bought a pet carrier (£17.85) and a hutch and run (£109.99) from there. Both are excellent, and still serve me now, and I'd certainly look to them if I needed similar equipment in the future. As well as this kind of product, they sell food, rugs, scratching posts, essentially anything you can name to do with pets. They also, of course, sell the pets themselves, with an impressive range covering everything from rabbits to rodents and birds to bearded dragons. The staff are also extremely helpful, even coming out of the shop to ask if you need help if you're looking at the various hutches at the front.

I freaked out and ran down to the pet centre to ask for help on this unpleasant issue. The staff were friendly and did not try to oversell products in an attempt to increase their profit margins. I was sold a spray, a flea comb and a solution to rub into my kitten's skin and fur. Two days later and my kitten is flea free. Thank You Kings Heath Pet Centre. They also have goods for all types of pets and animals, ranging from dogs to your more exotic pets. It is also a great place to bring the kids if you have any. The Cockatoo is one of my main reasons for coming here on un-cat related issues. He/She will quite happily mimic your words if you don't mind looking a little bit silly in front of the other customers. Kings Heath Pet Centre also sells your regular supplies such as litter and food pouches. Their prices are competitive with the larger supermarkets that have the pleasure in buying in vast stock quantities. If you own a pet and live in the vicinity, then Kings Heath Pet Centre is the place for you.

There is a wide range of products for each type of pet, all of my cat and guinea pig needs were well catered for. The staff are friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable. My main reason for visiting the pet centre was always to see the cute animals, especially the furry little bunny rabbits! *Awww* So cute! There is always a large parrot who occasionally gives people a fright but suddenly squawking or flapping his wings as you go past. Any excuse to go in and I'm there!

The prices seem reasonable and there were some very helpful staff knocking around assisting customers ad hoc. I picked up some dog treats for a great price. If you are into pets then this is the place for you!

If you are after some good garden ideas it is worth a visit just to help you with inspiration for your own backyard.

In addition there is plenty of other shopping to be done with outdoor footwear and clothing, local farm produce and gifts. Really you should just go ahead and make a day of it - this would include enjoying coffee or lunch in their ample restaurant that serves lunch, cakes, jacket potatoes, soup, sandwiches.

Around xmas, this is a bit of a wonderland and totally worth taking your kids to, as alongside the decorations for sale, the whole place transforms into a glittering fake-snow dream-like grotto. Perfect!

I happened upon this friendly shop a few years ago and on my first visit I mentioned to the lady…read morethat my dog was fussy with the food she would eat, so rather than advise me on which food to buy she gave me a load of samples and told me to see which one she liked and go from there. My dog took to one, which she still eats to this day. When returning to buy the food she also offered me to join the mailing list for the brand and said I would get offers through the post, which I did. I also tried to groomers recently and have now gone to them a few times. My dogs coat is extremely difficult to maintain and if I don't get to do it daily it gets matted very easily. The groomer there also said the dog has a very difficult coat so would be best to keep is as short as possible. I prefer her head a little longer and the groomer has always done her best to keep it longer than the body. A great personal service, they remember me when I go in store and are friendly and helpful.

They also have a lot of advice and information displayed, which is handy if you need help with your pet's requirements. The staff are quite friendly in here, if not a little quiet. I found what I needed quite easily when I went in, which was some cat biscuits and so there was no need for me to ask for any assistance. They also had a few bits and bobs stocked outside such as dog treats, which was nice and also sensible as they really are bursting at the seams inside. Overall, it is a great little pet shop!

Received my order yesterday (07-02-23)which was sent on (06-02-23) which consisted of 1kg of frozen river shrimp 2 x 500g whitebait and 3 bags of large bloodworm and when i opened the package the frozen river shrimp had defrosted, the whitebait had defrosted and the live bloodworm were dead , i emailed yesterday explaining what has happened and then was asked the send proof which i did , then got a phone call today from a lovely lady who was trying to resolve this issue and her manager basically said the food is gamma radiated and therefore can be refrozen . But im not risking re freezing food that i would be feeding to very expensive and long lived fish which im sure a lot of other people would feel the same about and although they agreed to refund the dead bloodworm , they refused to refund or replace the so called "frozen" food which wasnt very frozen at all , its safe to say i will never be ordering from them again!!!

AqShirley aquatics As a kid this was amazing and with all…read moretheir exotic and normal aquatic creatures it still fascinates me! There's no fish store in Shirley quiet like 'Shirley Aquatics.' My family and I have a tropical fish tank at home and this is the 'go to' place to purchase new fishes, fish food and just about anything you need for aquariums. They even sell turtles and ponds and water features, pretty cool eh? You have to have a license to take one of them home because their care needs special training. They conveniently sell fish care products such as food and tank cleaning products as well as tank accessories. My tank has some plants and a mini 'Bikini Bottom' with all the main characters from the kids cartoon 'Spongebob square pants' (yes, I am big kid) I've recently graduated and as cool as this place is, it's a little too expensive for people like me so my advice is to save up enough money for fish care and a decent sized tank (or pond) so the fish have plenty of room. This takes me onto the next note. You know how sometimes you go to a place and the staff just don't care, or act as if they do? Well here they actually do care. This is obvious through the shops high standards of animal care and the staff like to know what type of environment you'll be taking the fish(s) home to (if you purchase them). Interestingly they can tell you loads' about the fishes; from where they came from to their care. For example when we got our first tropical fish they asked us to bring in a water sample from the tank to check it was the right environment for the pretty fish we wanted. At first it wasn't and they instructed us on how to fix this. Once that was out the way they advised us about feeding the fish and as our small filter doesn't clean our large tank the staff gave helpful cleaning advice. In my opinion this is the kind of care and customer service most pet stores need.
