Although this seems to be a good pet store I find their range, especially for cats, to be a bit…read morelimited. A very basic range of many items, for examples in bowls there was nothing between very basic plastic and expensive pottery ones. I ended up with the basic kind but really would have spent more money for a nicer plastic one if there had been anything available. They seem to have a good range of things for dogs, particularly a lot of clothes and leads, but the small animal section is also fairly, well, small.

Don't expect to come in here and walk away with a monkey on your shoulder, this pet shop, being fairly small and not in the city, deals sells small pets. They offer goldfish and various rodents as well as stick insects, spiders and snakes. I get the impression this shop is geared more toward children. I don't really approve of the breeding of animals merely for the sake of pets, but I do like a place to pick up animal food and bedding and Linlithgow Pet Shop does just that with all the trimmings.

Must have picked up something or licked something odd. I remembered this shop here after shopping in Waitrose next door. Thought I try my luck to get some help. And the staff was very helpful indeed. Explained my problem and got a good advice and consultation. Got some pills called "Stool Firm" which worked wonders after a day or two only. After that all was well with our Bulldog. Thanks to the team here. Got some snacks and toys as well. A really nice store. Lots of food, snacks, toys, equipment and more.

After moving into a flat with my Adonis at the beginning of the year we both decided that we really…read moremissed having pets around the house like we did when we lived with our parents. As such we thought we would quite like to acquire a cat or two and I started googling. I waded through tonnes of private ads but was never 100% comfortable with idea of going to a strangers house and giving them money for cats I knew nothing about in terms of their medical history, character etc. Eventually I came across the Cats Protection website and discovered that they have a large adoption centre in Kirkintilloch where you can go and see the cats they have available for adoption and speak to trained professionals. The centre is open from 11am to 3pm 7 days a week. We visited on a Saturday and although the centre was busy on this day there were still plenty of staff around to help everyone. My Man of God Like Handsome-ness and I browsed up and down long rows of glass fronted "cabins" which housed the cats which were available for adoption. Above each cabin was some information about each cat, things like age, sex, the date the came into the centre and whether they had been reserved by another prospective adopter or not. It was excruciatingly hard to pick between all the adorable cats but we finally decided that we liked Charlane and Andi. A member of staff told us everything we needed to know about these two girls. Are they indoor or outdoor cats? Are they ok around kids? Are they ok around other cats? Do they have any on-going medical conditions? Are the confident or shy? Affectionate or more independent? Under what circumstances did they come to the centre? The staff can answer all of these questions and more which really put my mind at ease. We reserved Charlane and Andi and the next step in the adoption process is to organise a home visit. Our home visit was booked for a week later than our visit to the centre and the two members of staff who came to our flat were so prompt, friendly and well informed. The home visit wasn't at all daunting and just involved showing the staff around the flat and our garden and they gave me great advise on cat care. Unfortunately the staff decided that we would be suitable to adopt Charlane and Andi as we live beside a busy road and those two girls would need to be kept as outdoor cats as they were born feral. My disappointment didn't last long though as we were approved to adopt indoor cats and the home visit staff recommended two little 6 month old tabby kittens for us called Larry and Maurice. The staff showed me photos and videos on their mobile phones and explained the kittens characters and history to me. I was happy to take them without meeting them as I had every confidence in the information the staff had given me and the looked so adorable in the photos. I arranged a collection date for another week from the home visit. On collection day the staff were fully prepared for our arrival and the whole process only took a few minutes. There were just a few forms to sign and then it was time to take our news kitties home. I really urge you to consider Cats Protection if you're thinking of adding a cat to your family and I haven't even mentioned the best part yet! All the cats (age permitting) come neutered/spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated and with 1 months free insurance!! That's six huge expenses involved in getting a cat already taken care of for you! Furthermore, if you pick a cat which has a long term illness such as diabetes, the centre will cover the cost of the cats medication for the rest of its life! I found that when I was replying to private ads when looking for a cat most people hadn't had their cats vaccinated or neutered/spayed. Unfortunately the expensive medical care that cats need is just as important as the nice cuddles and play time and with the Cats Protection the boring medical side is take care of for you. (Although please remember that your cat would need booster vaccines every year as well as medical treatment if they become ill or have an accident after adoption.) I have posted a few photos of my lovely new kitties for you to see what kind of little darlings are waiting for new owners at this centre.

My fluffy dog is like a member of the family so leaving him here would be like locking my cousin in a cage. That being said, the staff were very good at calming my aunt down in her rather fragile state. The week was long not only for her, but Dougal the little yorkshire terrier too. He was ecstatic to see us again when we picked him up, although a bit thin but thats just a side affect of a broken heart from the little dude who refuses to eat until he has his mum back. Aww.
