A big congratulations to eleven-year-old Benji, our Golden Pet of the Month!

Owner Charlotte says that Benji has always acted like a little old man even as a pup. She said, “Benji is literally an old man; he loves to sleep, a slow country walk and a cuddle. He’s my soul dog!”

Benji earned his Golden Pet crown after Charlotte entered our competition via an email we sent at the start of his birthday month. If your cat or dog is over seven and has a birthday coming up, they could win a Pets at Home goody bag and be our next Golden Pet of the Month too! Keep an eye on your inbox for a competition link at the start of their birthday month.

Say hello to little Bear in his big Bertie bear bed from Pets at Home Liverpool Edge Lane. 🐻

Eleven-week-old Bear has only been home a couple of weeks, but owner Jennifer says he’s already taken over their home and their hearts. She said, “As soon as I saw the bed on Pets UK’s Instagram, I knew he needed to have it. I love everything bear themed for him. It’s a lovely bed, so cosy and soft; he loves curling up in a ball inside of it and getting snuggled right in.”

‘Lovable goofball’ Buck needed a little lie down after all the excitement of shopping at Pets at Home Norwich.

Five-month-old Buck visited our pet care centre with owner Libby to pick up a new food bowl. After helping choose some new toys from his favourite spot - dog toy aisle - Buck decided he needed a rest while his owners browsed for rabbit supplies.

Libby said, “Buck is a very loving goofball. Once we’d picked up all of his bits, he lay down whilst we were trying to buy some stuff for our rabbit – clearly not too pleased about leaving his favourite aisle! Buck absolutely loves a trip to Pets at Home. As soon as the doors open, there’s no stopping him from exploring the shop.”

Before joining the team at Vets for Pets Falmouth Vet Trish spent years rescuing marine mammals and sea turtles around the world, but the pull of the Falmouth community was too strong to resist.

Trish spent seven years working in Spain, Mexico, and the Galápagos Islands, caring for sea creatures as a marine mammal vet and rescue diver. Now, she’s swapped wetsuits for wellies and is loving life helping the pets of Cornwall.

Trish said, “Since the age of eight, I’ve wanted to be an advocate for those who don’t have a voice. That’s what led me to train as a marine mammal vet and rescue diver. I always thought I’d be a perpetual traveller, but after a few stints at Vets for Pets Falmouth, I couldn’t stop thinking about Cornwall. It feels so wild and peaceful—and the community is just lovely. It’s really special.”

Mum Katy booked four-year-old Billy into a My Pet Pals workshops at our Cortonwood pet care centre as a free summer activity. These fun workshops explore the five animal welfare needs, helping kids learn how to care for a variety of pets, dive into exciting activities, and meet our store pets.

Owner Mercedes says that it was “love at first bite” for nine-week-old Millie and her new best friend, Bertie Bear.

During last week’s heatwave, Mercedes popped into Pets at Home Hedge to pick up a puppy pool and cooling mat when she spotted the Bertie Bear flattie. Since bringing him home, he has blossomed into Millie’s favourite companion.

Mercedes said, “We just knew that we had to have Bertie! When we brought him home, Millie’s tail was wagging and it was love at first bite. She sinks her teeth into his soft bear face and gets so excited by the little squeak. Then she playfully shakes the crinkly part and proudly runs around the living room with him. She even takes him in the car with her and snuggles her face into him. They’re the best of friends.”

Meanwhile, six-year-old Luna visited our Washington pet care centre with mum Emma, who posted on : “The Pets at Home advisor we had was so lovely, it was a small group but she was so lovely with the kids explained a lot and was really friendly.

Hi, I'm Amigo! 🐹🐾

I am a male syrian hamster. I am about 4-5 months old, and I am looking for my furever home.

I am looking for a family who are experienced with Syrian Hamsters as I am very nervous and will need lots of patience. I am not suitable for children, so a family with experienced teenagers and adult home would be best.

I will need a large cage with a large wheel with plenty of things to climb, dig, and chew.

If you think you have a perfect sized space in your family, then please pop down to meet me!

I look forward to meeting you
Amigo 🐾🐹

🐠 Fish of The Week 🐠

This weeks fih of the week is the stunning Golden Barbs.

😀These colourful little dudes are a great addition to community tanks. They are very peaceful and undeserving of the barb name reputation.

🌏 Originally from China, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. Often known as Chinese barb and have green wild relatives.

🐠 Males are slimmer and more colourful. The females are dull yellow with round bellies.

🐟 Need to be kept in shoals of 6 or more. They can be housed with other similar sized fish, including tetras, danios, and other small barbs.

🍽️ Love flake food, pellets, and the odd bit of bloodworm.

🪴 They look amazing against dark green plants like Anubias. They like open space for swimming but love driftwood & places for hiding spaces.

🐶💛 Today is Dogs in Yellow Day 💛🐶

Yellow dogs are dogs that need space and can be identified by wearing something yellow, such as a harness, coat, lead, or even the handler wearing Yellow, too.

A dog and their owners may be wearing yellow for many different reasons, including if the dog is:

💛 A rescue dog - adjusting to new life 🐾
💛 Anxious or fearful of other dogs/people/traffic 🐶
💛 Reactive to other dogs/people🐾
💛 Elderly, Arthritic or ill 🐶
💛 Recovering from surgery🐾
💛 In training 🐶
💛 A female in season🐾
💛An assistant dog that is in work or training 🦮

If you do see a yellow dog, please do not approach them and give them plenty of space. Not only will this help the dog, but often, the handler, too. 😁🐾💛

These two lovely girls are still looking for their furever family who will spoil them 🥰

Hey, We are Cookie & Shortbread and we are looking for our furever home. Cookie is the one with a lighter face, Shortbread has a darker face.

We are spayed females, and we are roughly 3 years old, and we have always been together. We are looking for a home together where we will have plenty of space and things to do. We need lots of space to exercise, binky, hop, and dig. Ideally, we need a child free home.

We have been put on a bit of a diet since we came to the store, as we are a little overweight for our breed, Shortbread, in particular, needs to lose a little more weight. Our new home will need to continue this and also ensure we keep to a healthy weight.

If you have any questions or would like to know more about us, please pop down to the store as ask one of the team.

We hope to see you soon

🐠 Fish of the Week 🐠

This week's Fish of the Week is the wonderful Pearl Gourami.

😀 also known as lace gourami. They are a type of labyrinth fish - meaning that they can gulp air at the surface and hold it in its labyrinth chamber of the first gill arch - a lung-like organ that enables it to breathe air in addition to using gills.

🌟 They are a labyrinth fish like the others; They can make noise like a growling or croaking sound. Usually heard during breeding or males fighting.

🌏 Originally from Thailand, Malaysia, and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Borneo.

🐠 They can be housed within a community tank but avoid housing with aggressive species. Similar sized and temperament fish are ideal tankmates, they can be housed with small shoaling fish like tetras.

🙊 Can be kept in groups, ideally 1 male to several females. Males can become aggressive if breeding to the same species and other gourami's.

🍽 flake, pellets, and occasional bloodworm. They will also be happy to eat vegetables such as romaine lettuce and peas.

🪴 They are from heavy vegetation areas in rivers, so ideally, they need a planted tank with areas to hide in.

😺 Cat Microchipping 😺

In England, from the 10th June 2024, it will become compulsory to microchip all kittens from the age of 20 weeks. However, there is no minimum age.

Although in Wales, it won't be compulsory, it is recommended that kittens and cats are microchipped.

Microchipped lost pets are able to be reunited to their owners quicker. Collars and tags can easily be lost.

All details can be regularly checked and updated by the owner to make sure it remains effective.

Book your kitten or cat in with your vet for microchipping.
