Lovely selection of fish even though I don't really like marine. Friendly staff, seem to know a lot. My cousin goes there all the time and convinced me. I'm glad I listened. Lovely shop in Barry. read more

This is a shop inside the historic Cardiff Market. An old Victorian building that remains a good…read moresource of produce from local traders. As you enter the market you will be greeted by the same smell of fresh fish that has filled my childhood memories of this place. Pets World offers a wide range of products for pet owners and prospective pet owners alike. They've got hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits on offer if you fancy getting yourself a furry friend or you just want to gawp at something cute for a few minutes. As well as this they will be able to provide you with all the cages, hutches, food, toys, and supplies you may need for your pet. As with all the traders in the old Cardiff Market, Pets World is an expert in its field, so they will be able to offer expert advice and guidance that you know you can trust.
Ok so I'm not a particularly animally person as in I'm not big on pets. Tthe reason I went to Pet…read moreWorld is because I just happened to be out with my friend who was getting supplies for his Hamster. Overall the stall has large selection of stock including cages, toys, treats, food and of course animals. I had visited once before and if memory serves they had kittens for sale but sadly they weren't there this time. There was however an array of birds which were sat about chirping and my friend was able to get some nutty seedy type things for the Hamster which weren't that bad for value. This shop can be easily located on the balcony in the market so there should be no problem in finding it if you find yourself in need of straw and sawdust.
Pets At Home

This is a very big store with parking outside. The shop basically sells any animal feeds that…read moreyou're after. It also sells things like hamster toys, cages, fish tanks, rabbit hutches and lots more. The prices in there are very reasonable. My daughters love going there as there are animals there that you can look at and buy like: hamsters, rats, guniea pigs and fish. All the cages and fish tanks look really clean and the animals look well looked after. We brought our hamster from there and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Once we had chosen the hamster they got him out the cage. They then explained to us how to look after him and showed us what food he needed etc.They then gave us a little box and a bit of bedding to take him him home in. I would say the shop has great customer service.

They have a lot of stuff you would expect such as leads, bowls, cages and feeders. It is a pet paradise. It is nowhere as big as Pets at home but it has all the essentials you would and could ever need. I believe they sell a few small pets in there as well, such as hamster, mice and rats. If you need supplies for your pet then this should be your first place to come.
Pets at Home
When I left home, my pets all stayed with my mum. It's their home and they're happy there so I…read morewould never dream of uprooting them and bringing them to Cardiff. Still, I miss them all like crazy and none of the places I've lived in here allow pets so there's this huge animal-shaped hole in my life. Pets at Home provides some relief from this. Firstly, and most obviously, I get to go and enjoy the cute animals they have there. My favourites are the guinea pigs and the Roborovski hamsters, and I can quite easily spend a good hour in there debating whether my landlord would notice if I bought one. I am eternally disappointed that there are no mice here, but any cute animals will amuse me well enough. Secondly, since I miss my cats and dog so much, and feel pretty bad for abandoning them, I regularly pop in to buy them treats and toys to take home with me. The range of beds is particularly good, which is handy when you have a dog as destructive as mine. This branch also has a Companion Care Vetinary Centre (02920 232 957).
I'm a sucker for pet shops, and I particularly love this chain of pet supermarkets. Although you…read morecan often pick up bits and bobs at little independent pet shops, when you need several things it's often easier to head straight to Pets at Home. My only complaint is that this branch (perhaps it's the same at all Pets at Home branches?) don't sell the dog food I buy (Harrington's), so I still have to pick that up elsewhere. For pick 'n' mix dog treats, squeaky toys, and accessories such as shampoo, bowls, leads and collars, however, Pets at Home has far more choice than most smaller pet shops. The staff all seem real animal-lovers, and if you take your dog in with you they often ask if they can give it a treat or two. Just be prepared for your dog to get into a right frenzy over all the food smells luring them from aisle to aisle - oh, and watch them if you go near the rabbit and guinea pig enclosures!
Not Just Pets

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.

Olly's Polly's Pet Shop

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).

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.

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.

They have marine, corals, tropical, fancy cold water and oddballs, with livestock imported every week from all over the world. If you're really interested in getting a serious aquarium, these people know far more about all the kit and care than the likes of pet superstores such as Pets At Home, which sell only a limited range of aquariums and marine life. City Aquatics is a one stop shop where you can get everything in one go, along with advice from experts - whether you're shopping for aquariums, marine products, lighting, plants, medications, water treatment, fish food, air pumps or whatever else! Keeping a tropical aquarium can be quite a balancing act, if you want to keep your water clear and your fish healthy, so it's worth talking to an expert if you're a first-timer.

Worse than drunks for forgetting what anyone's just said. Three second memories, see. Perhaps I should have asked David Phillips (The man who puts the DP into DP Aquatics). I didn't though. I don't think he's got a three second memory. He's been selling tropical fish, fish tanks, plants, and a wide range of 'aquatic accessories' that include castles for fish tanks for over thirty years. He knows his stuff, go and stare at the fish and ask him something. Incidentally I used to have tropical fish when I was a kid.

Basically SHUA exists because not every pet owner is responsible enough/ financially able to have their animal neutered which can lead to unwanted kittens and an ever-increasing number of stray cats. Feral colonies can cause overcrowding, inbreeding, and ill health to other strays, and domestic cats in the neighbourhood as well as threatening wild bird populations. SHUA can help. They actively neuter, spay and microchip all adult cats that come through their doors and The Cats' Protection provide SHUA with financial assistance for neutering and spaying. They have a careful selection process for finding each cat or kitten a new home and in several cases they've been successful in reuniting lost owners with missing loved ones. On average, SHUA rehome approximately 250 kittens and cats per year.

I used to attend these stables a lot, the only reason I don't go is because I became frightened of the horses. But that was really of how I was controlling them, it wasn't necessarily because of the horses there or how they are looked after. There was one horse that I ended up riding quite a few times and grew to like and became attached to it. I was told to use another horse after so long though, but they do that either because of availability or because they like to try on you different horses. I did manage to ride him a few times, every now and then, after that change in my registered horse per lesson. The lessons where very well taught; where one person stands with a long whip in full riding gear, training a fair few of us in a group in the main barn they use, sometimes there is more than one lesson in the other areas next door to each other with no real wall separating them so that can get a bit distracting. I haven't been there in years for a lesson or at all really; but a fair while back I did some work experience with them, but Horse stables work really isn't my thing, but I know friends who would love it. So therefore I recommend to all horse lovers and to those interested in starting horse riding.
