Advantages: Has everything you could need for your pet

Disadvantages: None really but do miss the birds

Reading through a few of the reviews on pets at home I have decided that I must be lucky. My nearest store is just 15 minutes from me. I have been using it for so long that most of the assistants know me.

I have found the staff to be very knowledgeable about the various kinds of animals they sale. I have 5 guinea pigs, a few gerbils a rat and a chinchilla from there and felt they gave good advise

Whatever animal they sell you will find a start up pack for it which is often very good value.

They cater for pretty much everything now and their newest residents are sea dragons and iguanas...WANT ONE!

The last thing we bought from there was a few fish and the guy that was dealing with that asked quite a few questions about the tank we had, the fish in it which I was impressed about.

They have recently got in a new line of chicken products which I was most happy about.

I'm always asked if I found everything that I'm looking for and the answer to that is yes because they very rarely move anything around which for me when I sometimes don't have time to brush my hair yet alone run around trying to find food for 4 different animals at least is a good thing.

The store is big, clean and looks neat and tide. You are never watched as you stand around for hours chatting to the new additions; baby guinea pigs are so darn cute!

I had suggested a loyalty type card but not sure they were that interested, perhaps that suggestion needs to go further up the chain.

The one thing I was sad about with our particular store is that they used to have birds, but now in their place is doggie fashion, which seems very overpriced. I preferred the birds.

I usually have a ton of stuff at the checkout and every time I have been asked if I would like a hand getting it to the car.

I will continue to use Pets at Home and recommend it.

Summary: On the whole a great pet store
