I'm definitely a fan of this local, husband and wife run pet shop. The couple who run this…read moreestablishment are really nice to do business with, they always ask after my dog and are open for a friendly chat about all things animal (or anything really that comes up!) I buy my dog his special food from this shop as very few places stock it and they order it in specially for me. The lady who works here is not just an assistant but a dog owner herself. She keeps her tiny little dog and her big massive dog together behind the counter and many a day I've lingered on after purchasing just to give them a wee stroke. I've purchased a lot of stuff from this shop including food, toys and Toby's grand apartment (his kennel) Toby is a great big beast and so is his home, the man who works here gladly nearly put his back out helping me carry the swanky new dog house into my van - and all this was going on while the parrot they keep by the door was screeching and whistling at us! I definitely recommend this shop - much more personal and friendly than those big faceless pet stores.

I've been buying our dogs food here for the past year or so and have to say, have always had a warm welcome & any queries I've had have been answered by people who take a genuine interest and actually have pets themselves!!! I have previously fallen victim to the big faceless corporations (much to my hubbies horror) but this little petshop has everything you need to continue returning and its great building up a rapport with the owners... nothing is too much trouble, large items are even taken out to my car for me. What service & prices are very reasonable too!!!! :)

This pet shop ranges over two storeys. Downstairs there is bright collection of tropical fish along…read morewith the standard animal food, accessories and some of the biggest chewy bones you can get which are no doubt much favoured by burly Rottweilers, Alsatians, Bull Terriers and Boxers around and about. Upstairs there are a few snakes, tropical spiders and lizards. Birds such as perroquets and budgerigars were also on view, alongside furry rodents of the guinea pig, rabbit and chipmunk fraternity. Greater curiosity value came from the chinchillas which are interesting creatures to see though they tend to be inactive and sleepy during the day. If disturbed they make a strange purring chirruping sound and are capable of jumping up a great height so, if you're interested, you'd need a very big cage were you to consider doing business with the proprietor who was helpful and willing to sell, for instance, the chipmunks for £50 instead of £70.

This is a proper, old school community pet shop that hasn't jumped on the band wagon of all the…read morehuge pet warehouses, stocking everything from pet kennels to parrots. The range is fairly typical of the small stores you rarely see these days - small animals like mice, hamsters and a selection of fish as well as lots of tools for preening, walking, cleaning and feeding your pooch or kitty. We've had cats for many many years and we're now onto cats seven and eight shockingly (my family home is outside a busy main road - the rest is fairly self-explanatory) Well worth a punt. You're more than likely going to find something of interest, a pet product that snaps your attention. Prices are fair as well as it's a good bit out of the city centre and on the periphery.

It's a special brand made out of corn cobs - no chemicals. That tells you a little bit about the kind of selection you can find in this small store squeezed on the Woodstock avenue.

They even stayed open a little later for us one night while we were inside and browsing.

The staff are incredibly friendly and polite and will go out of thier way to give you help and advice on food, toys, training and any other need you might have with regard to your pet. Not just dogs, but all sorts of pets, large and small. They are reasonably priced too, compared to some larger pet stores and I bought Darcy a pack of colourful tennis ball type toys for her to play with - guilt be gone.

Pets at Home have absolutely everything your feathered and furry friends could possibly need…read more There's food, toys, beds, blankets, leads, fleeing and worming medication and a vet counter in store. This is a proper, massive pet supermarket and it's delightful to see dogs walking their owners around the store - if only more businesses could be as animal friendly! Plus with their loyalty card scheme they post discount coupons out, addressed to your pet by name, which is cute. Staff are also very knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant. However it drops a couple of stars for the following reasons: ~ A lot of items you buy from Pets at Home you'll find at the same price or cheaper in your local supermarket. So shop around. ~ I believe it unethical to support the breeding, buying and selling of animals as pets especially when sanctuaries and pounds are filled to overflowing with unwanted pets. Stores such as Pets at Home, which sell animals, just exasperate this problem.

A couple of weeks after my lovely pooch died, my almost as lovely other half tipped me into the car…read moreand drove me to Pets At Home. 'You need something small and furry to cuddle,' he opined as he parked, really quite badly, in the massive car park. 'Apart from me, of course.' Well. I'd never thought of getting a rabbit, but when I saw Bailey, lop-eared and twitchy-nosed, in one of the glass enclosures, I became a bit childlike. I bounced on the balls of my feet a bit, tugged at the other half's sleeve and batted my eyelashes in an alluring manner. (Hang on, that last one's just creepy.) The other half went to find a staff member, while I lurked jealously by the bunny's enclosure, shooting filthy looks at anyone who came near. Especially kids. But he was back within a minute with a very impressively knowledgeable sales assistant, who told me everything I needed to know about rabbits and what to get them. (I wasn't listening by this stage because she'd taken the rabbit out for me and I was cuddling her and cooing into her fur [the rabbit, that is, not the sales assistant, because that would also have been creepy]. But a general sense of really-knowing-her-stuff came through the haze of love.) The shop in general is very well equipped with everything you could need for all types of pet, and the prices are really reasonable, with a budget range of essentials like feeding bowls or doggy poop scoopers starting at a quid. So we duly got all the equipment we needed for the new member of the household, which included a special starter deal for the cage, food, feeding bowl, bottles and toys. Then we very gently took that wascally wabbit home. She's well settled in now, leaves little poo balls everywhere and has been the cause of me electrocuting myself three times with a lead she's chewed through. But I loves her. Cheers, Pets At Home.

Having searched high and low for a collar for our cat (see Ards Pet Supplies review), my sister and…read moreI decided to check out Pets 'N' Gardens (not too sure where the gardens bit comes in, but hey) to see what we could find... As we scanned the store for cat collars, one of the shop assistants appeared with a pair of scissors and walked over behind us as I asked him if they had any collars. Just as I was doing this, Mr Pet Shop Man (not to be confused with the techno group Pet Shop Boys) held his scissors up and pretended to cut my sister's hair. Mmm. He did stop moments later when he realised I wasn't amused, and referred us to a beam, with plenty of cat collars to look at. My sister chose a pretty pink leather one (for only £2.49!), whilst as I watched Mr Pet Shop Man and his scissors. Some banter was had about said incident, and I'm not completely lacking in humour, but I was fearful for my hair, it must be said. 24 hours later, my sister's hair is still intact, mine has been cut (by a hairdresser, thank heavens), and our puss is looking pretty in pink. I guess that deserves an extra wee star, plus he did have a sense of humour (whether it was good or not is debatable...). Ok, 4 it is then.

Jolleys isn't just a pet accessory shop, it's a shop that sells pets - think small though, hamsters, fish and birds were on show yesterday. Price wise I think Jolleys is a little bit cheaper than chain stores like Pets at Home. Yesterday I was able to pick up a huge bag of puppy food for £3.99, having paid a few quid more a few weeks back in Pets at Home. As other reviewers have said it's a great lay out - the warehouse set up makes it easy to navigate and the isles are well labelled. There are bigger items on the second floor! All in all a great shop - shopping local at it's best!

This huge shop has pretty much everything you need, and we got everything in one visit, after Brat #1 and Brat #2 had spent a good half hour arguing over what bed, toys etc to get. Brat #2 declared that she wanted one of the mice that were on display in cages. I had to explain that although the mouse might be popular with the new cat, it definitely wouldn't with be with her mum, and she's the boss of the house. We managed to leave without it. I found the staff to be friendly and assisted us with our needs. I'd probably advise you to leave the hyperactive children at home though.
