“All the staff at Pet Care are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. … Recently they went above and beyond to help me find a female rabbit to pair with my male, who had recently lost his mate. They managed to find me the perfect companion for Arlo.”
“Just been in to buy a Syrian hamster for my son who is autistic the lady in there was very helpful, very understanding, we wasn't rushed at all. Incredible shop to get a pet from they care a lot for their animals and customers.”
“I popped in to buy a fish tank and I was warmly greeted, advised expertly and they checked the tank over thoroughly (unpacking then repacking it) before I purchased, and even carried the tank out to my car. They have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in their field of work.”
