Bought bags of Seed Feed for the first time. Avoid! Majority of the bags contain an elongated seed that the birds will not touch. They end up in the dustbin. Waste of money.

Has anyone else had the problem when purchasing the multi pack of 24 Step up to Natural tinned dog food. The tins are always battered & damaged through out the pack!? On numerous deliveries now I've sent photographs of tins that have gone mouldy due to the damage. Today I sent more photos from a pack in my latest order. One tin was battered & leaking with the other battered tins in the pack all around it & another had mould seeping out the edge of its lid. Pet at Homes response has been they will not refund me this time whilst they carry out an investigation. I have been reporting this problem of damaged tins to them for the past year or so but & am taken back that they are now making me as the customer wait whilst they investigate their problem!? I've requested to cancel my orders & subscriptions & will be looking to do my big pet shops else where. I also buy the large tinned packs of Butchers lean & Tasty for my other dogs from here & have never had any issue with the tins been damaged in those packs only & always the Step up to Natural tinned dog food! I am really disgusted at being treated this way having been a regular loyal, online customer after all this time! The pictures included are just from one pack in this order but I have previously sent a lot worse pictures in from previous orders if you choose to look back through my records or if I go through my emails to you from last time showing the mouldy tins!

Disappointing Reliability for Pet Essentials This is the second time I've run into significant issues trying to purchase from Pets at Home, and it's becoming incredibly frustrating. The first instance involved an order that eventually had to be cancelled, forcing me to scramble and buy essential supplies locally at the last minute. Now, it's happened again: a delivery that was promised for Friday has simply not arrived. For pet owners, reliable access to food, litter, and other vital supplies isn't just a convenience – it's a necessity. It's genuinely difficult to manage our pets' needs when deliveries are this unreliable. Honestly, this kind of inconsistency makes it very hard to rely on Pets at Home for future purchases, which is a real shame given they're meant to be a go-to for pet care.

21 June service predictably poor. Chiny from Fort Kinnaird Edinburgh really unhelpful at tills and when I asked for help she said I was on the tills..She appears to work in a siloe and does not realise that she should help the customer particularly when she is serving the said customer. Think there is a need for staff training on courtesy and their role and reminded who pays their salary ..

I set up a repeat order subscription for dog food to come every 6 weeks. I checked on my account today as food nearly out. It should have come this week but the next order shows for August 2nd. I did a live chat to find out the June one was skipped because they didn't have any!! No one notified me!!!! They suggested i order some of the 1.5kg bags instead £££££££££ subscription cancelled

Pets at home customer service is terrible. The items they delivered were poorly packaged so not a surprise the items came damage. They split my order and used 2 different couriers. While using their online chat to complain about the damage ( within 10 mins of my order arriving ) I got disconnected while waiting for the customer service representative to reply near the end of our conversation because they took so long to respond. Because of that my complaint got sent to the online investigation team and because my order came in multiple packages with different couriers they couldn’t work out which order came in which parcel so they said they can’t help me and I have to go my card company for a charge back. They are one of the more expensive pet shops you would think they have better customer service. Absolutely useless

Poor service, orders never arrive when they should. Staff just don't seem to care anymore. Business for profits and not pets

Having spent over £90 in the last week at pets for homes I decided to purchase a retractable lead (pets for homes own make). The lead is labelled for puppy training,how ever the spring is far to strong for our chihuahua. We returned it to the store and was told by the manager that he wouldn't take it back as our little puppy had left a few teeth marks in a plastic collar that covers the sewing up on the tape.. He was not friendly at all and wasn't interested that the lead is far to strong and was pulling to much for our puppy.. I left the lead there and will not be returning to this chain of pet stores.. I will spread the good word (NOT) to my fellow veteran's..

Bought 5 tubs of LIVE mealworms. Cost £11 with discount for 5. Got them home and tipped them all into large aerated large tub. At least two thirds of them were black and dead. Phoned store to complain. Was told I should have checked each individual box before buying and there was nothing they could do. Fair point, but when I go to buy LIVE mealworms I expect them to be alive. I wouldn't go in to buy a rabbit or guinea pig only to be handed a dead one.

Title: Poor Service and No Response – Very Disappointed I took my dog to Pets at Home Groomers at St James Retail Park, Northampton on 2nd April 2025. The grooming was not done as requested, and I raised my concerns by email on 7th and again on 12th April. Both were completely ignored. It’s extremely disappointing to be met with total silence when trying to resolve an issue. I expected at least a basic level of customer service, but instead I’ve been left feeling ignored and undervalued. If you care about how your pet is treated — and expect any kind of follow-up when something goes wrong — I’d recommend going elsewhere. This experience has been nothing but frustrating from start to finish, and I will be taking it further.

Placed a repeat order for pet food, 1st order dumped in garden, 2nd and 3rd orders cancelled by Pets at Home, the order today (4th order) was out for delivery, then failed to deliver with zero attempt made, then Pets at Homes only option? Cancel the order of food for living creatures, zero care for the animals.

My little doggy had a £30 tidy up. This was told to me that she was washed and cut and brushed. She came back after 30 mins, not smelling very nice ,lots of matted hair and had just been snipped around the eyes,I took before pics and after pics and there was only the eyes that was different, I did email them but they more or less said I was fibbing even after showing them the pics. I would never go back and never recommend

Awful awful customer service. Been chasing for 3 weeks when a store tried to scam their customers and am being completely ignored. Never ever shop here it is the worst.

Bought a rabbit hutch from them. Within a few months it was falling apart. I came downstairs today and my rabbit had a fall and has passed away. Don't trust their cages. It was the "Ferplast Guinea Pig & Rabbit Home 240 Indoor Cage Grey 2 Storey"

Ordered on line and paid for next day delivery, got a email dispatched but just spent a hour on the phone and it hasn’t been dispatched. 4 to 5 working days for a refund. Disgusting service , will never use pets at home again Don’t bother paying for next day delivery.
