Pets at Home

Where to start on a company that dominated the market and pushed small run businesses down the drain? I have a love/hate relationship with this place. It is the one stop shop for all your pets needs. Over the years I have kept every manner of rodent (some of which have been bought from pets at home), then a number dogs, cats and rabbits. I currently live in South East London where small stores are being put out of business by the heavy trade retail park just down the road. I have two cats and a rabbit and am always nipping out to purchase food, litter, hay and like. There is nothing better (especially since I don't drive) than being able to get ...  Read the complete review

Pets At Home seem to be one of the most conscientious and responsible pet shops in the business. There are a couple of garden centres local to me that sell animals and the conditions they are in, while not appalling are not exactly great either. In contrast, pets at home provide a lovely environment for the pets to be in while they are waiting for a new home, the animals have toys, plenty of food and water, and fairly large living quarters as well as tunnels and boxes to hide in. The staff seem fairly knowledgeable, and are always happy to help with queries. I bought a new rabbit from them recently and they checked him over before I ...  Read the complete review

Pets at Home has come a long way in recent years and I am now absolutely confident in the products and advice that can be found in this store. About ten years back, I had an experience of the store that led me to believe that they hired incompetant students for their staff, and couldn't look after their animals properly - I'm talking scores of dead fish, hamsters trapped between the wiring of their cages etc etc. (Also, my three lovely lady russian hamsters turned out to be two lovely pregnant ladies and a horny boy!) Well, what a difference a decade makes! I don't know if I just went to a dodgy store, or if the entire business was taken over, but ...  Read the complete review

Pets at Home Description: Large chain of stores selling pet products. www.petsathome.com I am a huge fan of Pets at Home. There is one less that 10 minutes from my house, and it is pretty big, which means that it is really well stocked with a wide range of goods for the pet and pet owner. There are packs, for those who are planning to get a pet, which contain all that you need to get started. There is a huge range of pet foods, treats, toys, equipment and bedding. There are also books with loads of helpful information, along with little gifts (such as magnets, calenders etc) for the pet lover. All the goods ...  Read the complete review

This summer, my husband and I took the next big step after kids and marriage.....we bought a puppy! Obviously, we wanted to be well prepared for when the time came to bring the little fella home. Over the last few months or so, I hadnt heard very many positive reviews for Pets At Home, and even though there was a store 5 minutes from home,I decided to go elsewhere for everything we needed for his homecoming. I ended up spending almost as much on supplies as we paid for the puppy!! The next time we needed supplies, I decided to judge for myself, and headed for Pets At Home. My local store is in Newmarket, so thats where my review is at! I was ...  Read the complete review
