What we do

Six things we do properly.

We are small, so we stock less than the big places. What we do stock, we have used, and we can tell you why.

All six

01

Pet food

Dry food in three bag sizes, tins and pouches, and raw from the freezer. We stock what we would feed our own, and tell you what a bag costs by the week.

Dry dog food from £7.50 for 2 kg.

02

Small animals

Hay by the bale or the bag, bedding, hutches to order, and plain advice before you buy. We keep a few rabbits and guinea pigs from local breeders, for homes that are ready.

Meadow hay from £4 a bag.

03

Fish and aquatics

Twelve planted freshwater tanks, coldwater and tropical, kept by Dylan. Bring a water sample in a clean jar and he will test it for free, while you wait.

Water tests are free.

04

Treats and toys

Natural chews from wooden bins, sold by weight. Rope toys, balls and tug toys we have tested on Rhian’s collie, who has destroyed a good many of the alternatives.

Chews from 50p each.

05

Flea and worming

Flea and worm treatments are dosed by weight, so we weigh your animal, ask a few questions and give you the right one. Rhian is the shop’s qualified adviser; your vet handles prescription-only products.

Spot-on flea treatment from £6.50 a dose.

06

Local delivery

Dylan does two rounds a week in the van. Free within three miles of the shop on orders over £25, and he will carry it up the steps and put it where you want.

Free within 3 miles over £25.
