I bought 2 angel fish from you and one week later they both died of fun rot, fun rot can only occur from birth and guessing they were born there, I will not be buying fish from you again.

Refused to let me return kitten food they sold me at reduced price It left my adult cats with diarrhoea and vomiting They told me the food would be fine and if not they would refund me The coleraine store were very ignorant in their dealings with me and to refuse to refund the three boxes out of four when they have signs all over the store telling you if your animals are not satisfied they will refund you Its all nonsense and very disappointing

Went to the aintree store yesterday and asked about purchasing some Malawi cichlids they had in a small tank labelled mixed malawis.I was asked by a member of staff what size tank I had, which I accept is a reasonable and responsible question to ask.I answered that it was a reasonable size( 4FTX2FTX2FT),I and that I was restocking it with african cichlids after re vamping it .I informed the member of staff it currently housed 1 bristle nosed plecostamus ,that had shared the set up previously with Mbuna,haps,peacocks etc with no issues.The staff member went away and came back to inform me that they would not sell me any cichlids as it was their policy not to sell them to be housed in an aquarium that housed other species other than african cichlids! The lack of knowledge of someone employed in her position astounded me.I cant claim to be an expert but have kept fish for the last 46 years,including African cichlids for the last 12.I told the employee that her companies policy was flawed,to be told to go somewhere else to buy fish.In the past I have used both Maidenhead Aquatics and Merseyside aquatic warehouse to purchase fish.I have always found their employees to be very knowledgeable and very helpful,and prepared to listen to a customer. My mistake obviously was to expect a company such as Pets at Home to employ people with a modicum of common sense and knowledge.In future I will stick to buying fish from the aformentioned alternatives.

Called in this morning Monday, Accrington branch my wife when up stairs to the vet to seek advice on a issue with our pet dog,,, only to be rebuffed by the grumpy reception,and told no one will give advise or take a quick look with out making an appointment and having to come back later in the week, as my wife turned to walk away she caught the receptionist pulling her face at her, when confronted she denied it ,but believe me she did,totally unacceptable, this store was once a friendly place but not any more,this is not the first time,,,,,,,, we will now be cancelling my pet’s health plan of £18 pm and joining Another vets that have been recommended,,

I went to the Pitsea branch to buy a single goldfish for a tank that was set up for my elderly ill farther, four weeks previously. I was told buy a very young and surly manager that they will not sell me the fish as my journey home to the tank was more than 20 mins. The manager was called after a long discussion on their headsets, and when I asked why , the only response I got was " its the company policy" to which I challenged how this policy was developed and through what expertise this was based. The response was "its the company policy" over and over. I have kept fish for over 45 years and am truly fed up with the total lack of any expertise and experience in ALL pets at home stores. Never going back to any store and will go out of my way to tell everyone to do the same.

Was going to rehome 4 adult rats which had been returned. They were hugely overweight and a year old. Rats only live two years. The reason I wanted to take them home is they were squashed into a small cage. The store wanted me to pay full price for four adult rats that they had already sold once. I explained I didn’t know how well they had been cared for and pointed out that they had been over fed and possibly had health problems. No luck. Rather than lose £6 per rat, they would keep them in a tiny cage until they die and are euthanized for not being profitable. Pets at Home are clearly more concerned with profit than animal welfare. Shocking. The staff wouldn’t even make a phone call to their manager to enquire. Folkestone store. AVOID.

Awful , rude, incompetent manager mainly ( clacton on sea ). Apart from that there were numerous order issues and now the £5 off voucher only comes after £100 not £50... this is the last straw! Pet drugs online is where my and my families money will go, even if it's more expensive at some point! I will actively encourage people I know or meet on my walks to stay away from the " rip off " pets at home! I so regret the hundreds of pounds I've spent there since it opened! I'd actually drive 30 miles to Colchester instead of using the clacton on sea store!

Went to collect a dog bed at after ordering through click and collect and not a single member of staff were available. We stood waiting for over 20 minutes and then finally found an unhelpful member of staff who said she would fetch someone who deals with click and collect. Another 15 minutes later another miserable member of staff gave us the dog bed. No apology either.

Our new cat loo's swing door broke within a month. Went back to Inverness to see if they had any other makes. This is a fault as they were trying to sell ones without a door for £10. Anyone else had this problem.

My daughter went to pets at home today to buy a hamster for her son she had already bought a cage from somewhere else which she had with her she was told she couldn’t have a hamster unless she bought. Another cage which was 45 pound She had trialled along way on buses to. Get a hamster and was upset. When was told she couldn’t buy a hamster I would like an explanation why they told her this. The cage she had already got was. For a hamster. And nothing wrong with it I’m very angry that she wasn’t allowed to buy a hamster I have bought many animals in my time and have never come across this situation before

I have been a loyal customer at pets at home for years. Have bought pets, accessories and food and always found the customer service great. What has gone wrong! Bought a fabric travel crate from them last week for a journey. It turned out to be faulty with a cheap dodgy zip that came open - leading to our dog escaping and jumping around my car while I was on the motorway. Took it back to the store to ask for a replacement with a metal crate. Because I didn’t have the receipt they just hid behind policy and refused to do anything to help. Rude, belligerent ‘computer says no’ staff. No appreciation for my years of custom, for the danger their faulty product put me or my dog in. Raising a complaint with head office and will be speaking to trading standards. Won’t be shopping here again. AVOID THIS COMPANY.

Ive had numerous orders that i have never received although i paid for monthly subscriptions and never received numerous replacement orders or a refund. Customer service kept on stating orders were being reordered. Total lies. Avoid this company. Very unprofessional!!!!!!!!!

The lack of assistance, professionalism or any sort of customer service offered by an individual who was supposed to be the Kilmarnock store Manager was hard to believe, The obvious lack of training in customer engagement, never Management was on full display, This individual certainly has done nothing to enhance the Company they represent, or employs them,

I was treated with disrespect when i tried to buy a cold-water fish, apparently it was policy not to sell a single fish but for me to buy a couple as they were shoal fish. When i tried to explain to the Manager in Market Harborough that i already had fish at home i was told it was their policy, when i asked if i could see the policy she just replied with a straight no! I left and i wont be back, not even to buy bulk dog food.
