shocking lack of knowledge 2 people in same stor give polar opposite advice on same fish. apparently you cant keep 2 angel fish together, has to be singl or trio. how many did they have in their tank ? yes you guessed it 2. so they refused to sell me both. also you apparently cant keep angel with neons. despit me doing that for the past 30 years with no problems i challenge any of you so called experts to go on you tube and find a discus/ angel set up that HASNT also got a shoal of neons in it. i certainly wont be going back

We received amazing service when purchasing a Hamster for my daughters Christmas present. Pets at Home, Trowbridge gave us a full brief of do’s and dont’s, recommended certain equipment and even built the cage for us for free. I wholeheartedly recommend this store.

Would usually rate this place however just had the worst experience. When myself and my partner go to pets at home we see the poor state that the animals live in. We felt so bad we went to buy 2 Guinea pigs. We were refused. We have other Guinea pigs at home and they asked for pictures of our setup etc. We happily obliged knowing we follow all recent guidance out animals are all well looked after with top quality food and hay and a varied diet. Yet we were refused because they don't think we can have them out FIVE HOURS A DAY. Do they have their Guinea pigs out 5 hours a day? I don't think so. Do their pigs get a varied diet? No. Do they have top quality Hay? Absolutely not. Don't tell me I can't look after my animals. Those poor piggies are left in those horrible enclosures with barely any enrichment, bad hay and sawdust on the floor. Sawdust can make them poorly and hurt their feet. Don't even get me started on their hamster setups with no wheels and HAY(Which can cause impaction) Don't tell me I can't look after my animals when you clearly can't look after your own and all my products were bought from YOU.

Pets at Home Malvern. After waiting several minutes for service I had to seek some one to serve me. I asked for 4 male guppies. Young lady then walked off and several minutes later returned with a tablet (not a net in site) and preceded to ask me questions that I felt were very patronising. Size of tank? Post code. etc As an experienced fish keeper of over 50 years I replied my aquarium is bigger than yours. I get really irritated at these marketing questions on purchase. When I refuse to give my details (name, address, post code) they refused to sell items. For the second time this year I walked out feeling angry, patronised and that shopping there is a waste of my time. When I ask for 4 Guppies id prefer "Certainly Sir" followed by "Which ones would you like" and "Thankyou for shopping with us". That is it. Surely that isn't too difficult! Never again.

Called today , buying a stack of Butchers for my rescue cats. There was one till open, and a long quew. The bell was rang, and an assistant jumped on the till behind. The woman in front of me eventually got to the till of the quew, so I proceeded to the till that was just opened. The girl assistant of the other till turned round to me, and in front of the shoppers , in an abrupt manner, I was jumping the quew, and continued to stare at me like i had killed someone. I told her, don't look at me like that, I have been queing and it would have been my turn at the till behind her anyway. She continued to ' tell me off' as if I was a child. I am 62, and spend a hefty amount at pets at home, but no more .

Tracy at Warrington Store, Best of the Best! Had a problem with my little wee cat, Bonnie. Tried several hypoallergenic foods from Pets at Home. Called and spoke to Tracy. BRILLIANT! Helpful, knowledgeable, courteous and nothing too much of a problem. Called into the store, she took me to the product, explained what it did and Bonnie is very excited (as well as her dad). Thank you Tracy- if there's an award for Best Service, will one of you CEOs get it sorted! Thank You Tracy and Merry Christmas

Was ready to buy my new fish and all the accessories from a local pet shop, but when I went into the Cheltenham Pets at Home Lou spent loads of time going through everything with me; how to set the tank up, which fish would be appropriate for that size tank, and how to care for the fish on an ongoing basis. This made my decision and I bought the Panorama fish tank, all the gubbins and two goldfish, which I’ve now had for over a month and they are beautiful. A great addition to our home and we get lots of pleasure from them. I would completely disregard some of the bad comments I have seen and would highly recommend Pet’s at home for their products and customer service. Keep it up guys!

We had just acquired our new puppy and needed advise on all needed stuff. Our visit took us to lakeside branch ,wow the staff member we had was fantastic she was like a friend helping us .I even joked and said are you free to come round and check on us next week. I know she was genuine as I work in sales and work with people . Brilliant person and a lovely character.

Avoid Pets at Home in Byker!!The staff are very rude, including the manager, and not just today but in the last couple of times!! I used to be a regular costumer there, but I will never go back again! Looks like they do not need costumers. Pets at home in North Shields is much better, the staff is much more polite and knowledgeable,and the shop is much better equipped anyway.

Subscribed to the Flea Treatment monthly by post, after 2 weeks I still hadn't received anything at all, for 3 animals. Entered a live chat with PaH and they couldn't tell me why. They took the money from my account though. Have now cancelled the subscription. Rubbish service PaH. Avoid them and spend your money elsewhere, somewhere reliable for a start.

Pets at home vets Beware they do not care about animals just money in the accounts they ripped me of on tick and flea medication sold to me for £46.00 and the same Brevecto can be purchased on line for £16.00 and Medacam oral Suspension £20.82 and the second vet charged me £3.15 as the Rixexine antibiotics that was subscribed for £80 did not work and they wanted to charge me another £235.00 to sedate him and flush it I spoke to another vet who advised me no need to flush and prescribed Matacam again £3.15 The young greek vet Pavious Lerokipidis didn't even touch my puppy he was so not interested and stand offish all he was more interested in was checking if he was micro chipped and saying if this does not work it will cost you about £150 - £300 no euphony how can you be a vet when you don't even want to touch and care for an animal

I ordered goods on the 11th of November, it is now the 1st of December and still nothing. Several emails, a different order number and still nothing. Their tracking system does not work and dont make me laugh about deliveries in 4 days. A complete waste of time

A huge thank you Cindy and team in the Exeter store who today have gone above and beyond to help me with my little pre-loved Jack russell x Yorkshire Terrier who is 13 years old. Being a Sunday they managed to squeeze (she's not big 😉) her in for a Vet consultation very last minute. What fantastic service.

Very disappointed! It said on your website item was in stock and could be click and collect at chosen store! Maybe you should review why your website confirms this action before you take me to payment! This whole experience with Pets at Home has been very frustrating even trying to get through to few stores to check if item was available in store.

I have a cockapoo they have completely shaved all his beautiful fur off, he looks terrible , I almost cried, he looks awful, everyone cannot believe that a groomers could do such a terrible job, I have had to buy him a coat because he looks so bad. There is one star. Because it would not let me write how terrible this place is in Exeter. He has bits of hair all over the place . You have completely ruined my beautiful dogs coat. You should be shut down. Please don’t take your pet to this terrible groomers. I think my grandchildren would have done a much better job. This cost us £45 . I would like my money refunded.A.S.A.P.

I phoned the Horwich store to ask if they are selling hampsters and was told yes. My son and 9 yr old twins stood in the queue for 30 mins to be told only 2 can be allowed entry. He had 1 hr before been to the Leigh store who did not have a problem with this. I have just spoken to the manager who said we are not supposed to be selling pets anyway. Just makes you think, they are all show sticking to their company protocol at the front of the store but will break government rules when it comes to making money. Shame on your Pets at Home. By the way, the little boy you turned away has just gone into remission from Leukemia. You tried to tell me on the phone that 2 only in the store was government rule.I spend a minimum of £60 per month in these stores, guess what, not any more.
