Awful. Too busy upselling to listen. Wouldn't help with a fish purchase after I'd bought all of their useless water treatments because they would let me buy any fish before, oh and dead "live" plants then because they only had 2 staff in for the 6 customers in store wouldn't serve us. So just poor. Really really poor

6 staff in bangor co down having a team meeting in a circle - no masks - no social distancing. Madness. All customers were wearing masks, staff guy on the till was wearing a mask and behind a screen. Nearly intervened but could not get out quick enough

Found the chap at the Newton Mearns branch to be very arrogant and condescending. Continually talked over me whilst I was trying to explain what I was looking for. I ended up going to the Auldhouse branch instead where the staff were fantastic. However, that guy needs to seriously sort out whatever issues he has!

I started shopping at the Croydon store in Spring 2016 when my cat's vet put him on a ROYAL CANIN Vet Diet Feline which as you can imagine every month has been very costly, but well worth it for him. That plus a 25 litre bag of cat litter each month really adds up. I've always requested home delivery and from the first order, that has always been organised efficiently by the Croydon store and delivered by DPD. Sadly, the last four orders from 2019 to the current time have ALL been 'misrouted' to the store address. I have been patient and even apologised to customer services when I rang them on each occasion to inform them of the error. In every instance I have had to ring them more than once to discuss the same order. In each case the goods had to be reordered. Each time I spoke to an operator the store was blamed. When I spoke to the store, the store said that it was not their error. Yesterday the store assistant even showed me that my home address was submitted as the delivery address. He also said that other customers had complained about similar problems. In other words, Pets at Home were fully aware of the issues from the start. I had to speak to customer services, or head office as I was told, at 9.30am today when I was promised a ring back and at 2.30pm it still had not happened. I telephoned and cancelled my order. 10 minutes later someone rang. I told him that it was probably because I had cancelled my order. Most people would have stopped using your ordering service after the 2nd error considering that it has ben allowed to go on for such a very very very long tome, over 6 months. I am so disappointed with the ordering service and the slow response of customer service, but not the Croydon store.

Very disappointing visit today to your sore on Bride of don Aberdeen We waited in que for 15 minutes to get served as only one guy serving, once served he rang though our goods, he then asked if he could get our VIP card, to which my partner said we do not have one, he then asked for out post code, again my partner answered no its okay we don’t have one a VIP card, We then said we also have some dog food that we ordered to pick up, so he went off and got this for us, when he came back he then asked for the postcode again, this time I said we don’t have a VIP card, can we just pay for these good please, he then got aggressive with me saying aggression will not be tolerated, clearly he mixed up my frustration with aggression, he then made us stand for 3-4 minutes saying apologise or I will not serve you, I replied I am not apologising for something I have not done, he then threated me with police, at that point I asked if possible to speak to the manager this he refused, again saying he would get police to take me away in a global pandemic, not really sure what he was on about at this stage, so it was a bit off a standoff, big que behind me, checkout guy demanding I apologise, he then suggested that he would serve my partner and not me, so fine, I gave her my card to pay, and off we went. Communication issue? Over reaction? Not understanding what was said with face masks on? Under staffed, only one checkout operator on? Pick one from above, or maybe he just had a bad day and vented his anger at me His name was JP(on his name badge), he goaded me to complain, so hear it is. I guess most likely this will go unanswered, the internet is a great place for others to see...

I ordered four bags of cat litter from Pets at home Twenty days ago, two arrived very quickly with no problems the other two have entirely vanished in transit. Phoned DPD who advised I contact Pets at Home, guess what they are uncontactable, phone and email services are suspended and the wait for live chat had 293 people ahead of me. Parcel and money lost. Orders from them previously have been so badly packed the contents of cat food were squashed and dented with small items missing. I will never use this company again.

Pets At Home (Biggleswade) too often confuse being asked for something with being asked for advice. Most people are good pet owners who love and know their animals well from many years of responsible ownership. In your grooming sections, please do as is asked and do not think that your position qualifies you to give unsolicited opinions on your preferences of cut based on the breed of dog. I received a similar, patronising lecture when buying a small fish for our son. One too many for me; never again.

Bought two guinea pigs (sows) both 3 months old, with in three weeks of having them I find out both are pregnant. One gave birth 2 days ago, the other is due soon. Highly irresponsible and unethical. The animals are lucky I'm a responsible human and will take care of them. Obviously the staff are not trained enough to sex animals properly. Will never shop here ever again. Having never bought pets from a pet store before I will never do so again as I've now have the responsibility of not just the two cavies that I wanted I will now have 6 to look after and rehome the pups when they are of an appropriate age. If this happened to someone in a less fortunate position these poor creatures could fare being dumped on the side of the road or worse. Shame on you for not doing your do diligence.

terrible been given the run around for three days, I purchased a reptile incubator from them just over a year ago and considering there phone lines are down, and we are in lockdown I thought as a good will gesture because the incubator was just over a month out of warranty they would replace it, and the fact that it has only been switched on for three months, but no not pets at home in tiverton devon.

My order did not arrive as expected. Left a few extra days as everyone is busy under current circumstances. Tried to trace order online but order number was not valid. Contacted customer service who said they had lost my order and would refund me in 5-7 days leaving me with no food for my 2 dogs and no money to buy any with! Thanks for nothing!

Pets At Home Lying to costumers about not accepting Cash. Pets At Home claims World Health Organisation recommended Card payments only as Cash transfers Corona Virus. (An Outrageous Lie) World Health Organisation NEVER said that and Cash Money does not transfer Corona (Check for yourselves) Pets At Home stated that it stopped taking cash "To protect its staff" Another outrageous Lie, because none of the staff was issued with any Masks or "Glass Guards by the till" or any other protective measure. Pets At Home, taking advantage of the Corona Pandemic to pass the NO CASH policy in all its stores to serve its own agenda and nothing else, while doubling their prices. Avoid buying from this company as it is taking advantage of you during these difficult times.

Very poor advice from staff regarding care of hamsters. Cages sold are far too small and only useful as an emergency cage. Russian dwarves are being sold in pairs with no guidance that they sometimes need to be separated due to fighting..which is more likely to occur in small cages. They only care about profit!

As a disabled customer with my husband as my carer , I was not allowed to enter the Durham Arniston store because they have a strict one person per family rule. This is despite the fact that I explained I could not shop on my own as I couldn’t carry purchases because I was using elbow crutches . I had to sit outside in the disabled space with the blue badge displayed while my husband went in, which was very upsetting and frustrating. There were only 3 customers in the store so plenty of space . All disabled customers need to be aware they will not be allowed to enter a store with one other person - that is their policy . This is despite their website claiming they do everything they can to help vulnerable customers - as long as they don’t try to shop there!

Manager "Lewis" Hates Animals At Pets At Home Hemel Hempstead branch. Hates animals. He refused to accept cash £5 only in exact change. (Cards only) Company Head office closed its telephone lines to save money. Health world Org. did not state "Do Not take cash" this is not true. Our 19 year Old rescue cat who is a fussy eater (Only likes Lilly Kitchen) will sleep Hungry tonight. Pets At homes likes the profits from Pets, but in reality Hates them. See many reviews complaining about branch managers rude attitude. The store manager's behaviour is a reflection of Company Directors " A Fish always rots from the head down"
