Two-year-old Riley is all set to take part in the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch for the very first time this year.

Riley comes from a family who are passionate about wild birds, with his dad growing up visiting the Isle of Mull every year with his parents to spot wildlife. Now, Riley's parents are carrying on the tradition by encouraging his growing love of birds. Mum Asia is making sure to keep their garden feeders well stocked with wild bird seed, fat balls, apples and rolled oats for Riley’s feathered friends.

Asia, who picks up her wild bird feed from Pets at Home, said: “We have a window feeder on our patio doors as Riley loves to sit and watch the birds in the garden, so much so his nursery bought him one too. His favourite birds are robins, and we’re really lucky that we get loads of them in our garden. We want to educate him as he gets older to make sure that the birds are well looked after and get the food they need throughout the year.”

Pets at Home customer Steve, who has been bird watching since he was a schoolboy, has shared his top tips on how he attracts wild birds to his garden.

Steve believes two feeders are perfect to get you started. He recommends having a seed feeder and also a fat ball feeder: “You want a really good seed mix with lots of different seeds to give the birds everything they need – I use a high-quality seed mix from Pets at Home. Some birds will feed directly from it, while ground feeders will pick up the dropped seeds. You also want some high-energy fat ball feeders, which are essential at this time of year as the birds need to get lots of energy in the space of eight hours to get them through the night.”

Steve spotted 16 types of birds in his garden during the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch last year, and he can’t wait to see how many he spots this weekend. He said: “I just love sitting in my chair, with a flask of tea, watching the birds dotting in and out. It’s absolutely brilliant.”

“Nothing is safe!” That’s how owner Hoi describes life with four-month-old border terrier Chester, who is teething.

After losing his first teeth last week, Chester has been chewing on anything and everything in sight. Hoi has tried giving him frozen tea towels and frozen carrots to help soothe his discomfort, but she says the real winner has been the milk bone puppy teething toy from Pets at Home.

Hoi, who shops at our Branksome store, said: “It’s been a challenge trying to navigate Chester on to chew toys instead of my chair, but this milk bone toy has been a game changer. It’s milk flavoured and the perfect size for his little mouth.”

Happy Staffie Rescue shared this adorable picture on Facebook of eight-month-old Lola, with toys donated by our generous customers from Pets at Home Kidderminster.

The rescue recently welcomed volunteers, Pets at Home colleagues, Chloe, Abigayle, Josh and Brett, who delivered crates of donations and spent time caring for the dogs. Happy Staffie Rescue is the community partner of Pets at Home Kidderminster, and benefits from the Lifelines scheme. By using your Pets Club card in-store, at Pets Grooming, Vets for Pets or Companion Care vets, you raise Lifelines for your chosen charity, which can be redeemed by the charity for essential items such as food, toys and bedding.

Jonathan, adoption manager at Happy Staffie Rescue, said: “The partnership is enormous to us. From volunteer days to Lifeline Vouchers, it all helps this little rescue massively. The dogs loved seeing the toys and the great thing is that the amount of toys donated means they will be used by lots of dogs that come - like Rory, Levi and Kenny who have all arrived in the last few days.”

Silver labrador Hugo loves to greet owner Nicky with a different toy when she comes home from work each day.

Nicky adopted one-year-old Hugo from The Labrador Rescue Trust last year, and he has grown from a shy, anxious boy into a confident, playful pup over the past eight months. Now, every evening when Nicky returns home from work, Hugo loves to bring her a toy.

Nicky, who shops at our Weston-Super-Mare store, said: “I love my husband and my job, but nothing compares to coming home to Hugo each day. My husband works from home, so Hugo has company all day, but as soon as he hears the door opening, he greets me with a wagging tail. Then he’s straight to his toy box to pick out a toy to bring to me. His current favourite is his new burger toy from Pets at Home.”

Marigold joined the weight loss programme at Vets4Pets York after gaining weight when she became a temporary house cat after a fire at her home.

Three-legged Marigold’s owners were given a tailored plan from vet nurse Ash, and she’s already lost an impressive 1.5kg. Her owner said: “Marigold was so grumpy before, but the difference in her demeanour and playfulness has been lovely to see. Her first kg has made such a difference to her already, and with the support and advice from Ash I am looking forward to seeing her get to her target.”

Ash, who looks after Marigold’s weight loss programme, said “Marigold is a three-legged cat so weight loss for her was crucial. She's really benefiting already and her progress has been great -she's now able to jump onto the sofa again. We want to celebrate a healthy weight and lifestyle whenever possible and are passionate about supporting owners in taking these steps to improve their pet's well-being.”

A big congratulations to Patrick, Annie and recue dog Tic on the arrival of baby Lily!

The proud new parents have been working hard to make sure that Tic and Lily form the perfect bond.

Patrick said: “We really want Lily and Tic to have a great relationship so have been preparing for a while. Before Lily was born, we trained her not to jump on the bed and got her used to her new spot in the car. We gave Lily’s first Babygro to Tic so she could get familiar with the smell.”

Read more about how Patrick and Lily have been helping Tic to adjust to a new addition in the house in our Pets Magazine which is £2.50, or free to Pets Club members.

Customers and colleagues at Pets at Home Chatham were excited to have a surprise visit from Jammy Dodger the Red Tegu.

Jammy Dodger visited our pet care centre with owner Jay from RDJ Reptiles ltd Business Page to pick out a brand-new harness for upcoming events. Jay runs educational reptile welfare sessions at schools and events, helping people to learn how to handle, feed and care for reptiles properly.

Jay said: “Our welfare talks are all about clearing up common misconceptions about reptiles and teaching people how to care for them responsibly. Jammy Dodger needs a harness to wear to our events, so we popped into Pets at Home to pick up a new one. Everyone dropped what they were doing to come and say hello – it was a really lovely moment.”

Matilda and Teddy haven't been able to get out on their usual long walks, so owner Sophie has been relying on puzzle toys from Pets at Home to help keep them entertained.

After an injury to her hand caused a hospital stay, Sophie has relied on friends and family to help with dog walks while she recovers. Using their daily food allowance, she's also turned to her collection of snuffle mats, puzzle toys and Kongs to keep two-year-old Matilda and one-year-old Teddy from becoming bored.

Sophie, who shops at Pets at Home Doncaster, said: “Matilda and Teddy are both working breeds so as well as walks, it’s important they work their brains too. When I came home from hospital, I felt so guilty because I couldn’t take them on their usual long walks or play tug of war with them, so I made sure to give them extra enrichment to keep their brains busy. Matilda’s favourite is a Kong and Teddy loves a snuffle mat, but I make sure to have different ones each day so they don’t get bored.”

Four-month-old Noelle loves snow – as long as it’s on the other side of the window.

Owner Charlie opens the curtains so the kitten can enjoy watching the snow from the comfort of her warm home. Charlie shops at our Milton Keynes pet care centre and makes sure she's picked up plenty of activities to keep Noelle busy indoors.

Charlie said: “Noelle has been outside in the snow once, and she wasn’t impressed. She much prefers to be sleeping in her favourite spot under the radiator. When she’s not sleeping, she’s got plenty of activities to keep her from getting bored inside; like scratch pads, toys and a good old cardboard box.”

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.
