Pet Supply Shop

Random Q's:

For the animal lovers what would you want a pet shop (store front not online) to supply? From basic must have's to quirky one offs?

I have a Pets at Home literally around the corner from where I live and it's very handy if I am short of something, I can just nip round. I get all Jill's stuff from Asda or Sainsbury's. She eats a lot of fresh chicken and an occasional tin of Lilley's Kitchen dog food. I also buy dry food (chicken and rice) and mix it with the chicken every now and again. She has chicken flavoured treats and as a very special treat she has some cheese at weekends only ! Never buy anything online.

I generally buy a natural range from Viovet, since I've had to put my dog on a raw diet, which he loves.
It's already improved his digestion tenfold.
Their own brand of chews and food are far cheaper, especially bought in bulk - the bags are large and very good value. If I had to buy the same in, say, Pedigree brand, I dread to think of the cost.
I'm not using Pedigree treats any more, since they seem to make my dog thirsty - ie: too much salt?

burlyshirley, I had to look up my nearest pets at home recently and checked their prices for items that I buy regularly and I nearly choked at the expense!
I can assure you, that buying online isn't as bad as you'd expect.
Viovet and VetUK are trusted places to buy from.
I do an awful lot of research into companies before I spend my money with them!

Like I said I only use Pets at Home if I run out of something, I get stuff for the wild birds there too, but I am aware of how dear they are. I don't want to shop online genuine, prefer doing it the way I do.
