Absolutely impossible to pay for an order online. Quite hopeless. The chat line was no help at all .

PET SAFETY PRODUCTS ARE UNSAFE! NO RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN BY PETS AT HOME WHEN WEARING A PETS AT HOME DOG SEATBELT, MY DOG NEARLY WENT THROUGH THE WINDSCREEN AND FRACTURED HIS TAIL. THE SEAT BELT WOULDN’T HAVE CONSTRAINED A BUG! WAS PURCHASED IN GOOD FAITH TO KEEP MY DOG SAFE AND SECURE ON CAR JOURNEYS AND IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I THOUGHT THATS WHAT SEAT BELTS WERE FOR?

Online order badly packed arrived in a battered box. 24 cans of dog food randomly thrown into a very insubstantial cardboard box. 16 tins damaged. Tried online chatting. Sent me to examine contents then closed chat. Appalled is understating how I feel. Would be so unfair to blame carrier.

Swindon store still selling sick Bearded dragons from filthy vivariums even after they had been advised of a highly contagious parasite infection. The store manager is still ignoring the advice that was given in relation to cleaning out their vivarium.

We were hoping to buy tropical fish to re stock my wife's tank 24x12 x15 inch as its presently down to 2 x 3" swordtails and one x 2" platty, I asked for 6 x neons & 1 x cory catfish. She asked me for the litre capacity of the tank, I didn't know off the top of my head but gave her the tank size. She advised bluntly that without the litre capacity she could not serve me with any fish. I would have thought that anyone working in that area would be able to determine the volume from the size I gave, in fact I did it straight away on the Internet when I arrived home (its 70 litres).

Went into the parkhead retail park store and was denied a hamster by a very cheeky young male working there because I did not have a picture of the hamster cage that was at my property. Even tho me and my partner had explained that the kids hamster who we bought off them had died. No customer service skills at all and had no interest in helping only to get away from the conversation.

I visit pet at home Chingford regularly, mostly on Saturday, I found one of staff at check out is racist. On one occasion, he overcharged me £6ish, when I went back to get refund, he made me waited for long time and asked another staff to deal with me. Today, about 11ish am when I was waiting to pay, he called a lady behind me to the till and deal with her before me. When I got to the till, I showed NHS card to get discount 10%, he said pet at home stop giving discount to NHS staff 2 weeks ago. IS IT TRUE PET AT HOME STOP GIVING DISCOUNT TO NHS STAFF???? I will never ever go back to pet at home chingford and as soon as my pet plan finish, I will also change a vet. Since I met this racist staff a few months ago, I went to shop on line and found one of German website a lot cheaper than pet at home.

I visit Pets at Home on a regular bases and the staff at The Morpeth branch and the Gateshead branch are fantastic, very helpful! So I have had to address the terrible service from a member of staff at the Silverlink Wallsend branch. Just recently I visited this branch and a member of staff (Beth was her name) was so off hand ! She was on her phone when I arrived , she had a terrible manner / attitude like I was interrupting her day ! Very unhelpful she really had no customer care training at all and made my visit to that store the last one!!

This has to be the worst website in the country. Always have problems placing an order. This time it had taken nearly a week and I still can’t place an order. I have tried using my account, signing in as a guest, using different search engines (Google Chrome, Google, Safari, Bing) - nothing!!! Absolutely ridiculous! With the money this company makes you would think they would invest in a decent website!!!!

The price fluctuations on dog food at pets at home I find is an absolute rip off . James well beloved food up by £10 and beta puppy which was 31 pounds on offer has gone up to £43 and you can get it online for £25 and free delivery . Running costs of the store is not worth paying their prices . Offers on pet food are not really offers and over the years I have found pets at home go more and more expensive to shop in and the coupons on the app are not worth even the journey Will shop online

I ordered and paid for a 2 day delivery date. Ordered on Wednesday and was told my items would arrive on Friday This was then pushed back another 3 days to Monday which then meant I had to go to the shop and buy extra dog food! I will not use again!

Extortionate prices for a very average service. My not so great experience entailed a store visit with my dog for a grooming. Besides it being an eye watering £42, the sleep around his rues was left on which is quite unacceptable. Emails were traded and lip service paid by PAH so not surprisingly, that’s led me here. Customer Service doesn’t really offer any resolutions other than mealy mouthed apologies. Be careful if you are using for the two reasons I’ve listed above

Pets at home are the worst pets company in the UK. They are overpriced and spread a lot of incorrect information. Rabbits in particular. We have a massive issue in the UK with overbreeding and too many rabbits in shelters. Stop selling them!! Rabbits do not belong in hutches or cages. They require as much space as any cat or dog - anything less is cruelty. Never buy your hay, pellets, forage or treats from these corporate detached businesses. Pets at home - do the right thing and put welfare before the £££. I’m taking this to your COO too as the list just gets longer and impacts most animals that you stock for. I welcome anyone else to do the same - coodirect@petsathome.co.uk

Worst customer service ever!!!!! I ordered an item and paid for expedited delivery as I urgently needed it before I went away. They failed to deliver as per my payment and even though I warned them that I would no longer be in the country to refuse delivery, they completely ignored me. Now there is a parcel sitting outside my door with the risk of being stolen and I am also going to lose my 14 days return policy as I won’t be back to the country for 4 weeks. I will never use them again. They are the most unhelpful people ever!

Went to Blackpool PAH to buy a little coldwater fish for my grandaughter. I politely asked an assistant to catch one in particular which was about 1" but grows to about 2" I was told. Anyway before she would get it she asked ... quite officious now .. how big is your tank. I tried to demonstrate with my hands a rough size and she shot me down sayibg that won't do as she wanted the litre size. I said I have no idea. She said unless I had at least a 60 litre per fish size tank then they could not sell me the little fish. Rudely and aggresively I was told she needed proof of the tanks size. She went to get the most arrogant rude 'manager' who told me the same thing. He tried to belittle me in front of other customers. I said to my wife lets go elsewhere and forget this. I said to the upstart this is nonsense and he turned to me aggresively and said ' did you just tell me to F..k off ?" In front of other customers with little children. I said "no I said forget this its nonsense and would not have sworn " He just turned away after trying to stare me out. Disgusted is an understatement never ever again would I ever recomend this awful place. Please be warned.

I don't usually write reviews because, well, I have a busy life and let a lot of things go really. I feel this time, I'll make an exception. I returned a box of 'Johnson' Flea treatment to Beaumont Leys Branch of 'Pets at Home'. I had bought it on the advice of the sales assistant in store Two weeks earlier and used it as directed on my Three month old Pup. It didn't work at all, she still has Fleas. I had bought the product, as my Pup is under Three Kilos and I therefore could not use 'Frontline' which is what I use on my Cats, and thought I could use on my Jack Russell Pup. But no, on the advice of the sales assistant, I should buy the Johnson's product. On returning the product, I was initially told I could exchange it for something else, great, I thought, I need quite a few things today. I'm really pleased to have a 'Pets at Home' store a couple of miles down the road from me as I buy a lot of stuff for my cats and will also need lots for the Pup as she grows. They have a great selection of products. However, another member of staff came over and said they no, would not give a refund, or an exchange. I argued the point and he was very insistent, bordering on rude. I eventually said OK, fine. At no point was there an apology, an admission that they are selling a product that doesn't work, or any good will at all really. So, I won't be back there anytime soon, for sure and all over an £8 or £9 product (I can't quite remember how much it was , as I bought a few other things). But, in my opinion, which I might add, the member of staff vigorously argued against, it is basically selling a product that is not fit for purpose. I believe that to be against the Trades description Act. But no, I was clearly mistaken in this view. May I suggest some further customer service training for the staff might be helpful to keep customers like myself on board during these difficult times both for retail and their customers.
