Pets at home have taken over rideaway
Hate P@H they make the work of animal rescues twice as hard with their ignorance and stupidity

My experience with having a guinea pig from the adoption centre was very good.
I had to persuade the staff member that I needed a companion for my young boar and that yes, I did know how to introduce them etc. He wasn't convinced until he had been through their care and behaviour etc.
I was really impressed. He also explained that the adoption animals were ones that didn't sell within a time frame due to various reasons.
A friend loves the vet surgery, they were kind, efficent and incredibly cheap when she took her cat in for an operation.
My only complaint is those little outfits they sell for dogs. Seriously yuk.
We went for some gerbils, we have a 4ft fish tank so intended to get 3 or 4 female ones. We were told they fight and should be kept seperate! What tosh, they like company, weve kept them for years. Needless to say we went somewhere else. I am no expert but ive had a selection of hamsters, rats and gerbils since i was 9, i know who likes company and who doesnt! Maybe male ferbils fight i dont know, we have always had female ones.
I bought two rabbits from there after our old one died due to old age. Neither of them lived for more than a month.
A friend at work also had one from the same shop in cannock, staffs. That also died in a very short time.
I love the fact that P@H stopped selling choke chains for 'humane' reasons but still sell rope slip leads and collars, which can have the same, and in some cases, a more severe action (depending on how thin they are - a very thin slip has a much quicker action than a big thick clanky chain), but I guess that's OK because they are made of rope, and not chain.
They also sell anti-bark collars and invisible fencing systems, which also give a pop on the neck. But anyhoo!!!
The adoption centre is where members of the public can give them their unwanted small pets, for whatever reason, and the go up for 'sale' as such to the public but instead of paying full price for one, you give a donation. Almost like RSPCA.
