Meet Merve the rescue rat, who’s found his forever home with Pets at Home customer Catherine, a lifelong rat enthusiast.

Catherine adopted Merve after spotting him in the Pets Foundation adoption centre in Pets at Home Dorchester. Catherine, who’s owned rats since she was 13 years old, said, “I’ve always loved rats. They’re a big part of our family. We’ve been rescuing them since our children were little. They are so cute, interactive and really clever - you can teach them tricks, and they can even learn their name. It’s fantastic that Pets at Home has an adoption centre. We’re so happy we’re able to give Merve a loving home.”

The Pets Foundation operates over 450 small pet adoption centres inside Pets at Home stores nationwide. These centres provide shelter to pets that need new homes, and we do everything we can to find them a loving new home.

Meet Nala and Dora, who were saved thanks to an emergency caesarean at Vets4Pets Oxford Cowley when their mum, Stormy, encountered difficulties during labour.

When indoor cat Stormy went into labour earlier this year, her family expected a smooth delivery. But after giving birth to her first kitten, Stormy was exhausted, straining, and clearly in distress. Realising she needed urgent help, owner Millena quickly called her local vet practice, where they performed an emergency caesarean – a procedure that is incredibly rare for cats.

Milena said, “From the moment I rang, I felt supported. The team was quick, calm, and incredibly reassuring. I knew right away I’d made the right decision bringing her in. They didn’t just help Stormy; they supported me through one of the most intense moments I’ve encountered as a pet owner. Trust your gut. If something doesn’t feel right, act on it. You’ll never regret putting your pet’s wellbeing first."

Vet Iva, who is the locally based practice owner of Vets for Pets Oxford Cowley, said, “We understand that pets are part of the family, and our goal is always to provide the highest standard of care with empathy and attention to each patients’ unique needs. Stormy’s case is a beautiful example of why we do what we do.”

Here's the moment Larry the budgie was reunited with her owners at Sutton in Ashfield Vets for Pets, after she escaped and was attacked by a magpie.

While enjoying some free flying time at home, Larry managed to slip outside. Her distraught owners searched everywhere but couldn’t find her. They thought she was lost forever until they saw a Facebook post from the practice about a budgie found after a magpie attack.

Larry’s owner Phoebe said, “Without Vets for Pets and the lady who found Larry, we wouldn't have gotten our little budgie back. It’s amazing how quickly we were reunited and helpful they have been since her attack. It’s a miracle.”

Vet Steph, one of the locally-based owners of Vets for Pets Sutton in Ashfield, said, “Larry had a lucky escape from the magpie, with only the loss of a few feathers. We were so happy to be part of reuniting her with her family."

Owner Kate says that four-month-old Bobby’s coat is gleaming, thanks to his diet of AVA and salmon oil.

Since coming home, cocker spaniel puppy Bobby has been on AVA. Kate, who shops at Pets at Home Southampton Shirley, said, “When choosing a food brand, my priority was that it be vet approved. AVA was something that Bobby immediately got on with. I also like to use salmon oil to keep his fur soft, hydrated and shiny. He’s doing really well, I can’t believe how fast he’s grown already!”

This , we want to tell you about vet nurse Debi from Vets for Pets Washington who, with the help of the local community, saved a kitten from a life-threatening flea infestation and gave him a loving home.

When the kitten was brought into the practice, covered in fleas and almost unresponsive, the veterinary team at Vets for Pets quickly jumped into action. With the community’s support, they secured a blood donor for a critical transfusion. Once nursed back to health, the kitten, nicknamed ‘Flea’, went to a local charity to find his forever home. However, Debi couldn’t stop thinking about him and has since adopted him.

Debi said, “In my 22 years of nursing, I’d never seen such a severe infestation. Especially at this time of year, it’s crucial to give your pets flea treatment. The smaller they are, the more impact a flea can have – it's not just a bite; it can be life threatening. It was amazing how the local community came together to help; from the lady whose cat regularly donates blood to the local charity that cared for him. He’s settled in so well back at home now and is really attached to my daughter.”

Meet sixteen-year-old Scooby, our Golden Pet of the Month for July!

Scooby has been with his owner Glenda since birth, and while he has slowed down with age, Glenda says it hasn’t stopped him from patrolling his garden. She shared, “Scooby used to be quite the hunter in his younger days, and although he can’t do that anymore, he still loves to potter around outside. After checking the perimeter, he usually enjoys a well-deserved nap under his parasol.”

Scooby earned the title of Golden Pet of the Month after Glenda entered a competition through an email we sent at the start of his birthday month. If your cat or dog is over seven years old and has a birthday coming up, they could win a Pets at Home goody bag and be our Golden Pet of the Month too! Keep an eye out for an email from us with a competition link at the start of their birthday month.

Maple and Oakley are all set for their first European road trip, in their matching 3 Peaks sets from Pets at Home.

Owner Jess is planning to take the adventurous duo across Switzerland and other countries along the way in a VW campervan. She’s been busy preparing them by introducing them to new environments and building their confidence.

Jess, who shops at Pets at Home Gloucester, said, “Maple and Oakley love exploring new places - especially if it involves water! They’ve been all over the UK and they are the happiest pups, with their noses always to the ground. We’ve been gradually introducing them to new environments and situations to help build their confidence, using lots of positive reinforcement (reward based training) and treats. I just know they will love it.”
