Pets at Home

I just purchased the Pets at Home Christmas All Kinds of Treats Advent Calendar for Dogs. It was between the £120 Fortnum option or this alternative at £30.

Pets at Home was started by Anthony Preston and opened their first store in Chester, UK, 1991 and what a British success story it has been.

They offer a one stop shop for everything pets from Veterinary services to grooming to bedding, to food and play needs.

I have used the store in Leicester for a few years now and when you can find a member of staff (never anyone around) they are always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

I bought a rabbit hutch a couple of years ago for the animal sanctuary and instead of making me build it, they allowed me to have one on display, a massive help.

As an animal welfare activist and volunteer at a sanctuary I don’t like to see the rabbits and guinea pigs in the pens for sale behind the Perspex, can’t be much of a life but I try not to look at them too closely. I would prefer something more organic for the animals before they go to their new homes.

All the food, treats, toys, I have purchased so far I have had no complaints.

I did just order the extra special animal doggie advent calendar at £30 for my pouch and three treats in we are a bit disappointed, so far the surprises have been a bit cheesy “made in china” so hoping the presents get a bit better as we go.

I struggled to find it and had to order online to be delivered to the store so probably struggle to buy one anyway, it’s OK more packaging than presents.
