(1) Told to stand and wait for over 1 hour whilst badly injured cat was taken away for injuries to be assessed. (2) Told cat needed general anaesthetic, and urgent treatment for injuries, and would cost £500+. I agreed to pay. (3) Then told to take it home and bring back following day for that treatment, because they were about to close (3.30pm!) and there would be insufficient time for cat to recover from treatment. (4) Told that if cat became worse overnight, to phone any emergency vet (not them) with an overnight facility. The general impression I got was that the only important thing was my agreement to pay £500+ the bill was £649.95! The cat has survived so far, despite being nursed overnight with gaping wounds before treatment, but I will never use them again

We purchased dwarf cross rabbits for our children from Pets at Home, being told that they would grow to dwarf rabbit size, and bought the recommended hutch size from them. However, they both grew so large that neither of my children were able to handle either of them and the hitch sold was totally unsuitable. I used to breed dwarf rabbits and would say these were twice the size of an average dwarf. I wrote to Pets at Home on more than one occasion, and they were not in the least bit interested. I think once they've made their money, there is very little care there. If I could give no stars, I would!

I purchased two sucking loach fish from Coventry Gallagher pets at home - did the acclimatising correctly as you do ... my tank had been set up with 4 fish in before hand completely fine for a few years ... after adding the fish correctly for an hour or two they were okay darting round the tank swimming eating etc . My brother came round and noticed they were acting a little strange ... swimming up but floating back down like they were lifeless ... we decided to examine the fish to see they actually had white spots over their bodies ... now we would have got them checked but this was after stores were closed. However they didn’t make it 4 hour after purchasing these fish they had died ... cleaned my tank removed them and added all fresh water ornaments and gravel along with my 4 fish I had to start with years ago... all well and good until I woke up this morning popped to the shop and one of my black moors had passed! What the hell had pets at home fish got wrong with them to kill them selfs along with my beautiful fish

Me and my partner adopted to male rats from these! We hate seeing animals housed in pets at homes as they are highly inappropriate for the animals, so the lady came over to sort them out for us and to do a medical check on them, she was frightened of them as she kept saying they bite, so clearly she couldn't be botherd, but she said they where over weight but no medical problems, she also told us the two boys had come in with other rats but where not aloud for adoption, that was a big red flag but we took them home still, journey to our home they where sneezing like crazy, so they where housed in a different room to our other rats in our care just in case, all the rats already in our care had no medical problems and fit and healthy, day after the boys had bin in care all our 9 rats had sneezing and wheezing issues and two where really lethargic, we took 4 to the vets, cost us emergency vet bill prices as it was urgent, day after that our two lethargic rats one passed away aged 7 months and the other was fighting so hard to stay with us, we then decided to take the two adopted boys back as we struggled to look at them (heart breaking for us!) Pets at home yet again didn't check just took them in, so then we decided to challenge pets at home and find out what was going on and why they had allowed 2 seriously ill animals go out for adoption, they quickly went very defensive and tried blaming us, refusing to let us see the boys medical records, they are refusing to reinbursed our nearlly £400 vet bills they cost us and we can clearly tell they are hiding somthing! DO NOT SHOP, ADOPT OR VISIT THIS EVIL COMPANY!

We took our schnorkie to the Groom Room in Dunfermline for a cut and shampoo, but will definitely not return! While her fur was lovely and soft, the cut is terrible. Loads of bits missed on her head, paws and all over really. She looks really scruffy with such an uneven cut. I could have done a better job myself blindfolded.

Absolutely disgusted with abingdon pets at home, came in to have a peaceful shop and end up hearing a tall colleague proper shouting nasty at another colleague. There is a time and place where you do this not when people are trying to shop. Feel sorry for the girl

Visited Chingford store today to get some cat litter as usual. Noticed no security on door and no anti bacterial gel to hand. While inside Noticed a Senior staff member walking around shop floor amongst customers with**No face mask spurting out orders to her staff. Also noticed a middle-aged woman customer wearing no face mask being allowed to walk around shop floor when wearing a face mask is still mandatory nothing has changed. **MUST DO BETTER**This gives a bad impression to customers during a pandemic lockdown expecially with what's happening in Covid Europe and in India at the moment.

Don’t buy pets from pets at home I was there for 10 years and know a lot about the over breeding program they have . If you have a problem about the breeder you have to stay quiet about it 95% of them have bad issues. The guinea pigs are to young and to small always coming into store with ring worm. The rats have bad breathing problems and the rabbits arrive in tiny cages stuffed into them

Bought a puppy toy and seam split in less than 24 hours. Poor quality considering it is a 10 week old and small breed

The dark haired short girl in great Yarmouth store has no customer service skills what so ever Think pets at home manager should send her either on a course or to the job centre before she gives the store a bad name but the young mixed race girl now she is outstanding at her job sorry don't know her name

This is a brilliant shop, very very wonderful. I can’t get over how wonderful this shop is. This isn’t a dare, no way. It’s a super shop.

RIP OFF and Disgusted at the price for a rabbit to have his teeth cut! £70... This was your Hastings St Leonard’s-on-Sea.. They told us £40 for consult and £30 for the actual teeth to be trimmed. After having this done I’m absolutely disgusted to find that my local vets only charge £17 that’s for consult and teeth cut.. So as a family we will never step foot into a pets at home vets side of things ever again.. When usually the local vets are a lot higher in prices I’m very disappointed.. Next time I will definitely shop with my local vets!!

Delivery day late. Items arrived out of packaging and damaged eg badly dented dog food tins. Very disappointing. Worried may affect pets health

They sell hamster cages and wheels that are far too small 😥 Have had to replace everything at considerable expense. Pets at home did not care about the well being of my hamster, only about taking my money. Horrible company.

I asked to purchase 2 tropical fish and they asked me a questionare. i was told due to the numbers i already had in my tank they would not sell me any. I told them i was setting up a new tank but they said no. I told them that there tanks had 3 times more fish than mine so they were breaking there own rules and there were dead fish in them and they still said no and could not care less. The gay camp blond manager was so rude and said we are not selling you any fish. No sorry or anything! Just very cold and didnt care a bit. Im a grown nan and was spoken diwn to like a child! Last time I go there! terrible place! I went to a family run pet shop near me and they were so helpful and i got what i wanted.

Don't waste your time on their "pet guarantee" or "promise" they'd just refuse to cover the vet fee. I'd never trust this company and would never shop there again.

Been shopping here for years but today me and my daughter got to the doors and were REFUSED entry because we were together W.T.F!😮 quote they said "its like this everywhere you go now", NO it is not like this everywhere you go now as we had spent the morning in various shops like Wilko/B&Q and Morrisons, because you have refused us entry we have taken our business elsewhere! a quick google search showed a local smaller business and we went there and it was so LOVELY to be WELCOMED by FRIENDLY STAFF who are not pushing idiotic NONESENSE set by their head office, if i was that way inclined me and my daughter could go back to your s**t business and go in separately then meet up once in side! YOU ARE SO DUMB 👎
