Ethical and beautiful. The hike trail is amazing but if you take the bus tour a giraffe can come…read moreright up to the bus! The bus has no windows so it could probably reach its head through! If you're not up for that the hike is better. The only thing is there are a couple animals where you can't get your hopes up about seeing them... the tapirs are always hiding and so are most of the smaller cats. But that doesn't take off a star! It can actually be more fun for kids to stop for a minute and look for them! You can make it a game!!! It's a wonderful place to visit!

Port Lympne reserve is a amazing place to see animals in vast open spaces and I do highly recommend…read moreto anyone that particularly wants to see a rhino in a large open area or deer type animals but if you are expecting to see penguins, elephants, lemurs etc then this is the zoo for you. Also the zoo is so vast you cant really walk it as some areas are just for the safari truck tours. However you can easily walk to the gorilla viewing area and pass the rhino area by foot and some wild cats. You can also get to the dinosaur park easily on foot and the dinosaur park is a must to do. Ok you say its just plastic dinosaurs but they are so well done and gives you a real scale of how big a dinosaur was and there are so many dinosaurs even some I have never heard of so I highly recommend anyone to go and see these amazing plastic dinosaurs so interesting. The best I have ever seen however it might be a good idea if they could add some dinosaur noise throughout the woods via speakers. So if you want to go on a mini safari, see rhinos or deer type animals or even have a stay with a difference in a tent or tree house then I highly recommend to go along to Port Lympne.

I wouldn't even give these kennels one star…read more.... The kennels blocks are so old and cold and generally look very dirty. I went to look round as I needed to board my two large dogs. The staff seemed to have very little knowledge about dogs and their needs. And appeared to want to rush me out of the place before answering my questions. I saw two kennels blocks - the second block being so small I can't imagine what dogs they put in there!! May I also add that there is no heating in the second block of kennels!! Dogs looked fed up and miserable, they are not walked each day as I later found out, although one of the kennel girls did tell me they were..... I wouldn't use these kennels if they were the last kennels on the planet.

They put up with daily check calls. The service was excellent from the cattery. On collection they looked well and groomed and happy. They were settled back home within minutes. Cleanliness of facilities was superb and no smells. Both cats look as if had a wonderful weeks hols. Bazil and Tilly look forward to their next stay at westcott. We can look forward to using them again and would recommend Westcott cattery to all cat loving owners as a warm friendly and happy catery! Once again many thanks Bazil and Tilly see you again!!(Michelle and Phil).

I came across this place on my travels around various Aquatic shops before christmas. It's a little…read moregem! The prices are excellent most of the products were about internet prices. They have around 100 tanks and are expanding to marine fish in May 2011. They have great selection of most popular fish and some great unusual ones. Only real issue I had was the stock was a little low but I was told this was due to the cold/snowy weather and they didn't like ordering live stock in these conditions. They also have a good range of reptiles which are all captive bread which I find is a nice selling point. Only went for a look at the aquatics came away with a lizard.

Saeed Akhtar was such a godsend. So patient and helpful. My flight was originally cancelled too so…read moreI wasn't supposed to have him again today but he ended up being the driver still. My experience overall was very easy to navigate. Saeed answered all my questions and even provided water for me and my dog when we needed it. His van was very clean and comfortable; I was able to rest on the drive after all the airport travel. Thank you, Saeed and UK & Europe Pet Taxi! Sameen was also a great presence to be around. I had a very nice talk with him and he came in clutch being able to pick me up last minute. I wish them only the best! Katie helped walk me through the booking, cheers!

They sell hamsters, rats, rabbits, chinchillas and guinea pigs, plus canaries and budgies. The staff are able to advise on pet care and there is a Companion Care Veterinary Surgery on the premises.

Kimberly Freeman is a world renowned dog trainer with years of experience and a reputation for…read moreresults. It only took her minutes to assess that my pit bull clearly was the pack leader and not us as we had previously thought. If you think that you can just read Cesar's book or watch "It's me or the Dog" I can tell you that it's not that easy. Having followed that advice for years, we thought we were doing well only to find that opps, we were still making mistakes. And that's the best part about Kim, she doesn't train dogs, she trains owners. Anybody can train a dog to sit or stay (no pun intended) when they are in class, but when they come back home all those teachings can go out the window with the wrong person. I've witnessed how my dog behaves differently with different people in her level of obedience. And that's where Kim really shines, she cuts right through the idea that training is just about the dog and focuses on what the human can do to make their dog their ideal best friend. And those results last a lifetime. Kim's professionalism and dedication to animals is unmatched, and City Sit Stay is definitely the go to place for a dog trainer that you'll be pleased with.

Thanks to Kimberly she is doing amazing and we were able to help her with her fears and get both dogs on track with being better behaved "city dogs". We still have a little ways to go (stubborn terriers) but they both have turned into such great pets and they are enjoying their new life here. Kimberly has such a great positive attitude, great trainging techniques and is a pleasure to be around. We look forward to continuing to work with her.

This lady has the biggest heart and the most intuition of anyone I have ever met: cat/owner cupid. This shelter, granted, doesn't look like much with all the cats being housed in sheds but they are so very loved and well cared for and their personalities are so well developed that I strongly urge anyone looking for a new addition to their family to come here first! I have spent many an hour here meeting all the moggies, large and small, and trying to understand the uncanny ability the shelter owner has of being able to find the cat that fits so well into your family that you wonder if, really, they were there all along.
