Very friendly and knowledgeable! Lee who is the owner helped me when I was choosing things for my new puppy. I had no idea what to buy or what to get, he not only helped but he said I could bring my puppy in for a lead/collar fitting which was great so I could buy the right size. Really went above and beyond!! They have so much pet and fishing stuff in store and even a dog grooming parlour at the back! Will be making this my regular pet shop. Thanks Lee 🙂
