It also has a good range of the bigger bags of food to save money. They even have a pick 'n' mix of dog biscuits! Dogs are allowed in if they are well behaved, staff are friendly and helpful.

This is one of Bristol's best independent pet shops: a friendly, family-run business with…read moreknowledgeable staff, offering a far less clinical shopping experience than you get at mega stores such as Pets At Home. The prices seem more reasonable than most other independent pet shops I've visited, and there's a far better selection of goods in stock than you might expect. Everything I've bought from Olly's Polly's to date - mainly dog-related bits and bobs including a collar and several squeaky toys - have been of good quality. They sell Burns dog food, too, which isn't always easy to come by. Check the opening hours before you make a special trip here, because they're closed all day Sunday and Monday, and Wednesday afternoons - and then on the other weekdays when they're open, they close for an hour at lunchtime! Oh, and be sure to introduce yourself to the resident parrot (unless you're ornithophobic, of course).

A chirpy cheerful colourful cool pet shop!…read more Olly's Polly's is actually called just 'Pet Shop' but everyone know it by the more jovial name that is printed on the window. From long lasting fish food sticks to cat litter trays you can help your pet feel more a part of your family (and sometimes treat them better than you treat alot of your family!) The staff always have a big beaming smile and it puts to shame the often cold approach that many main stream pet stores seem to adopt.

I didn't even realise this shop existed until I was bought here to pick out my birthday present a…read morefew years ago. No, I wasn't treated to a bag of hay or a chew toy, my present was the furry kind, a hamster to be precise. I was really nervous (the last hamster incident I was involved in ended in blood and being mentally scarred for life) but the owner was absolutely lovely. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, giving us a full history of his current stock of hamsters and stressing that he only uses particular breeders. As this goes for all the small animals he sells, this means that customers can rely on healthy, happy and docile animals. As well as the hamster in question, we also bought all the necessary paraphernalia that one needs to take care of it. Once again the owner gave us expert knowledge on what kind of cage we needed and once we got the hamster home I rang this shop up practically every other day for advice and he was nothing but patient. Definitely recommend this place for all your pet needs, particularly if you are looking to buy a healthy, friendly pet.

First confusion is the sign says Staple Hill Carpets - that's moved up the road. The sheer amount…read moreof stuff that isn't carpet outside the shop should give you a hint that it is no longer stocking carpets. Second confusion, yes they have moved from one side of the road to the complete opposite side! Third confusion - surely they can't stock EVERYthing? Well yes, yes they can. Lightbulb with a vintage fitting in green? No problem sir. Skirting board tacks hand made by virgins in Argentina? Third aisle at the back.

Although on both occasions I knew I had a DIY problem I needed to fix, I didn't really have a clue what I was going on about and it probably sounded like I was asking for various 'thingies' in broken English. However both times the shopkeepers have been really helpful and pointed be in the right direction straight away, the items purchased were fit for purpose and good value. On the last visit I wasn't to sure which colour thingy to go for and the shopkeeper advised me to take the ones I thought were right and bring them back and exchange for a different colour if need be. Just the sort of friendly service you want from a local hardware store! I'll definitely be returning if I need to purchase any other thingies.

It was always an exciting adventure and I could never pass by without begging my mum to let me go in. Sadly pets at home doesn't quite live up to those standards! It's a chain pet store so not exciting or unique, but the prices are reasonable and they do have a good selection of supplies for all your usual pets. They also have a small selection of pets on display. Mainly rabbits, rodents and fish. I've bought dog toys and leads etc in there before and the prices are good. My trip today was purely to entertain my son as we were at eastgate and had half an hour to kill. For that purpose it worked a treat and he really enjoyed looking at the animals and fish!

They have some animals for sale in here - rabbits, rats, fish and birds. Their dog and cat food sections are pretty good, they hold our regular supply of hide bones but you can find cheaper bulk buys of snacks such as pigs ears and dried sprats online so check you aren't overpaying. The accessories and toys are priced about right though. You can bring your dog into the shop if it is well behaved, so you may turn a corner and bump into a dog, so beware if you are scared of them! The staff will often give your dog a treat at the till if they take a shine to him.

It might seem incongruous at first as it is situated in a huge Georgian buolding that once stood in it's own quiet grounds, the essence of graciousness. Now it is redolent with squeaks and chirps and bubbling of water tanks. Set over several floors, there is a good supply of just about anything you might need for domestic pets - food, bedding, cages, toys, treats. It is always fascinating to watch the many different small fish swimming in their tanks, and upstairs on the first floor you can see small rodent type pets for sale - hamsters, mice, guinea-pigs. Small children love to watch the little creatures as they await a good new home. In fact, there is so much packed in that the customer floor space for humans, especially around the main tills, is rather limited and narrow and often involves a bit of a shuffle. The assistants are always very busy and helpful, but for I sometimes wish they could wear more distinctive 'team tops' as I've almost mistakenly asked customers for advice in the past, believing they worked there! All-round though an excellent store for all your domestic animal supplies.
