Terrible customer service following the non-delivery of my urgent online order. My cat was left with none of his specialist food for over 3 days. I emailed Pets at Home who responded telling me to use the chat bot, when I tried that, it didn't understand what I was saying and said no live operators were available. Next time I will use another more reliable supplier for my cat food order. I only used Pets at Home this time because they promised next day delivery. Absolute con!!!!

Poor service, both in store, and online! Went to pick up my monthly repeat order at the Kinnaird Park Edinburgh Pets At Home branch today, where normally the staff are great, helpful, and always have my 3 or 4 large bags of dog food ready on a trolley, which they kindly take to the car for me. Been doing this for a number of months now and there’s never been any issues but as I hadn’t received the usual email saying they were ready to collect, so I called them 4 days ago and spoke to a girl who said the order was a bag short but it should arrive in a couple of days, then gave me an excuse about road works at their distribution warehouse causing issues. Today I had the unfortunate luck to meet Duncan the manager, who appeared with my bags of Beta dog food in his hands at the checkout, then preceded to give me a load of bull regarding why my repeat order was one bag short. After questioning the situation he suggested I contact them using the online chat on the Pets At Home website (Which when I tried once at the car, just gave me a failed message!) I asked him if he could just provide a bag off the shelf in the store to make up the order, I was told no, that wasn’t possible, and that I’d be refunded for the missing one. The store car park was extremely busy this morning so I had to park at the rear of the store, which is a long way from the main entrance. When I asked Duncan why the bags weren’t already on a trolley as normal, he replied oh I can get you a trolley if you want? This guy possibly thinks he’s too high up the pecking order to provide the quality of service the staff under him do, or maybe he missed some training courses? Anyway, monthly repeat order now cancelled, and I’ll take my business to a competitor from now on and I won’t be back in the store again. My advice to anyone looking for pet supplies or services would be, avoid the grief, and do the same.

Pets at home chuck wet and dry food together in order, guaranteeing wet food arrives pierced, seeping, leaking and inedible. Zero customer service. Phone line directs to Facebook. Chatbots request emails with photographic evidence. Emails not answered. Total disgrace.

it has been over 2 weeks since i ordered the flea and worm for three dogs. They dont respond to emails and the live chat is pointless as you talk to a bot.

pets at home is a very popular place for people to buy small pets and supplies, however it gives out all the wrong info and is hypocritical and the reason for many animals have a bad life. There hamster cages are extremely small a way under the minimum however a lot of them are labelled "large hamster enclosure" when there far from it, their rabbit/Guinea pig enclosures are the correct sizes for hamsters and the minimum depth witch shows they can build cages the correct sizes and just make the bars smaller but do not. I have seen multiple people buying pets from there being given all the wrong info, people put their trust into this business but end up with stressed out animals living a bad life. yes, some of the products are good for eg SOME of their pet food such as the selective brand are good whereas updated vet studies have showed food such as the "friends farm harry hamster" food are not nutritional, another eg is on multiply YouTube videos say how rabbits need 2meters x 3meters and 1 meter tall to properly run around and do zoomies and binkies but in stores they say that they only need to be able to take 3 hops forward in their enclosures, very hypocritical. I believe that pets at home has a lot of potential too help many people educate them selves and give their animals a good life it would be so easy for them to sell the rabbit cages with smaller bars as hamster cages and get rid of the abusive cages they currently sell for hamsters and sell proper sized pens such as xpens for rabbits and Guiana pigs.

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).
