I always find these pet superstores slightly daunting as there are so many different brands and options but the staff really could not be more helpful. Importantly they are helpful in a nice genuine way and are not pushy or like they are trying to hit a sales target. They have a really good range of pet supplies and seem fairly average on price - they have good monthly deals that they publish in a little magazine. I love that they have a "try before you buy" day where they pick a different food every Saturday and you can get your dog to taste it and see is it to their liking ! Although that sounds really precious and ridiculous healthy pet food is super expensive and there is nothing worse then when you fork out for a big bag only to have the dog turn his nose up at it. So this way you can get a little sample and make sure they will eat it before you buy. They have lots of other in store events like vet talks and advice. Another great service they have is the dog weighing scales - as I have a fat little sausage dog that is trying to loose weight it's great to be able to weigh him without going to the vet You can also make donations in store to animal charities by buying a little extra food or some treats and popping them in the donations bucket for less fortunate creature. On certain days they have rescue pets in the shop that are looking for new homes - I can't visit the shop on those days or I would end up with a menagerie ! All in all this is a great shop with great staff and i certainly won't be going anywhere else

Thanks to Yelp I finally discoverd this little gem just outside Dublin (going down the N4 it's just…read moredown the R403 towards Celbridge). I went there due to the Grill Academy presented by Weber Grills which are new in the range of things The Orchard offers. These grill presentations take place now every Saturday 12-2pm until end of July and are well worth it I think if you want to learn more about how to get the most out of your grill and to get ideas what else you can use it for other than the usual steak or sausage. And if you'd like to use your grill even during the week for a quickly prepared meal. The presenter we had, Jamie, was very knowledgeable, passionate and interesting to listen to. Before the event I had a proper look at the whole shop and I very much liked what they sell. Yes, it's pricey, but also very good quality. And they have a room full of reduced items that a very much worth looking at. I loved especially their huge range of plants for both indoors and outdoors. But also their little interior items with a twist and the kids games looked unusual and fun. At the event I got to talk to the owner and you could just feel his love and passion for the place which I thought transferred to every member of staff I came across. So I hope to be back soon and treat myself to something from the Orchard and to try their cafe which I heard has a very good reputation and I loved the setting in a greenhouse style building.

The pet shop is a great place to bring kids, they can see rabbits and fish! The furniture is expensive but is very nice and there are some one off pieces here. There is often a sale on too. The books are expensive in fairness as are a lot of the local type foods on sale but if it is for a treat after seeing the pets, it's perfect! The cafe is hit and miss. The cakes can be delicious and the salads and lunches seem to be very popular. The coffee is just from a machine but for the number of tables they have here (seats about 100) they are always full so nobody much minds! It's good for kids but their queing system is terrible and there's very few frills but it is a lovely setting which is why I'm presuming people come back. I think if they improved their cafe to be much more of an experience this venue would be five star all day long and would probably be even busier!

Strange set up for a pet shop. They don't actually stock…read morepets? It's mainly a pet supply store but it misleads you into believing they have a lot more than they do. Their prices are a little higher than your average pet shop, but you get top quality items for your buck. The staff are friendly but need to be approached, they rarely approach you. Reptile food only comes in Thursday and is usually gone by Sunday. Move fast or your cold blooded little babies will be hungry. Worth a visit though :)

Fircroft Kennels really are as good as it gets…read more I've been bringing my dog here for about five years now and she LOVES IT! (and her sister for about 4 years) When I ring to book her in, they know her straight away and they love her (shes a sweetheart). I've tried other kennels in the past and my dog came home with a stomach infection, fleas, bordetella, you name it she got it. But fircroft is in a league of its own. Wonderful people and wonderful facilities. I would highly recommend it if you are living in the County Kildare region. It is pricey, but honestly I think it is worth it, knowing that your dog is in the best hands and knowing that you have nothing to worry about. There is nothing worse than worrying about your pup when you aren't 100% sure about kennels. Go for it, I know you won't be disappointed
