Title: Making our pets at home -- Small Animal

From the moment they arrive, to the time they leave with a customer; the small animals in our care are made to feel at home every step of the way.
Watch our video detailing their journey, including how they're 6-step health checked, settled in to their new environment, feeding, sexing, daily care routines, given veterinary care if needed and the training our colleagues go through. We ensure that all pets are cared for in accordance with the 5 welfare needs, and are proud to work with the RSPCA.

[@Harry_Potter959]

Well said 👏

[@LauraAnimalgirl]

To everyone who complained about this video - Actually, that Watchdog episode on pets at home was done 3 YEARS AGO. Pets at homes standards have since greatly improved! Just because you've only been to one store doesn't mean you can judge the whole company. From the sounds of things, the shops mentioned were badly managed. I have been to EXCELLENT pets at home shops and yes, they sell tiny cages and sell lonely gerbils. But Pets at home also sells big cages too - the range of cages is superb. It also has very helpful staff and when I went to buy my hamster and gerbils, they got my hamsters sex correct and when I wasn't happy with the choice of gerbils, they brought a huge, spacious gerbillarium over to me to let me choose from some different gerbils. All my animals I have bought from pets at home have been healthy, lovely little animals. So listen, KZbinrs: PETS AT HOME IS A FRANCHISE. THIS MEANS THAT EACH STORE IS INDIVIDUALLY MANAGED. If you find a terrible pets at home store - try going to another one. Chances are, it will be better managed and the animals will be in better health.

[@LauraAnimalgirl]

***** yeah, that's true.

[@lsturgeonify]

Its sh*t they get animals from mills. Keep rabbits and hamsters in tiny cages. They keep syrian hamsters together whoch are solitary and will kill wach other. If an animal is sick they leave it. And have you ever seen the back?

[@obviouslyalesbian4595]

Lisa Ashwood they keep Syrians together because they are babies . Do you research before assuming things please . This is a pet store we’re talking about so there is obviously going to be some problems but it’s a lot better than some of America’s pets stores .

And 2 days after that happened we went to the shop and complained and just took them of us... DX

[@iHeartBratayley]

oh god, just watching this hurts, anyone watching this that’s getting a rabbit, never house in a cage and NEVER hold on its back like shown in the video! this causes so much stress and fear to bunnies and should only be done by a qualified exotic vet if it is extremely absolutely necessary

Pebsay Paine lmao ur so thick they are so many animals that live in pet shops and in the back off the store the cages are small because they are on display for people to see them they can’t have the exact cage they need as they would take up to much room in a pet shop there job is to sell them and educate people on the RIGHT size cages

[@ellahuxtable5959]

@@sophiemay8707 Yeah but no pet store I know of has ever educated people on the actual right size.

[@sophiemay8707]

Ella Huxtable firstly if u are wanting to get a certain animal then it’s YOU’RE job to do all off the re-search and find out all off that so u can’t blame the staff due to ur lack off research they do tell u that If u do buy a cage for them then it’s only TEMPORARY as they will be babies then u should get a bigger enclosure for the rest off the animals life not every pet store can simply sit down with u and go threw step by step off what to do for this animal and how to care for it most people who do want a animal do tones off research off this certain animals and all they go to pets at home for is the pet as they will already be an enclosure set up at there home

[@cringefest7841]

I just got two albino guineapigs from pets at home yesterday and one of them is drastically underweight, had crust around her eyes and her nose, she’s doing well now and is ravenous for food so I have been feeding her loads of greens and some peppers aswell as her pellets, she seems happier with me than when she was in the store, also I saw a hamster in a tiny glass tank cage, like the one on this video, it was stuck right inbetween two pieces of metal and gnawing at the key hole to get out. :/ if your pets really come first get them bigger enclosures, and my last guinea pig and rabbit I got from there were underweight and they died too

[@reddiespaghetti8187]

I got a hamster from paws for thought and I had that hamster for 3 years! I got a hamster for pets at home it lived for 2 months and not only this but I also got another hamster from pets at home and it lasted just over 1 month...

The cages they keep them in are tiny. They dont get enough toys and they often have wire wheels which are too small for the hamsters

[@buzzywuzzy5256]

The pets will only spend a small amount of their life there since a lot of people do buy from stores. It's nothing to really worry about too much. Of course, it could be better but still works as it is.

That's really cruel the rabbits cant even jump in the cage and these are qualified people ....

[@buzzywuzzy5256]

They aren't qualified, it's not their job to inform you with correct information. They just need to sell products and we cant do anything about that. The pets there may be kept in small cages, but will only spend a small amount of their life there since most people do buy pets from stores.

[@rainbowhamsters643]

Pets at home are better then other pet shops because of the adoption animals they have there. The only bad things about them is that they sell cages that are WAYYY too small and there staff don't know a thing about animals :-(

Me too I have a rabbit and I've had her for two years and she's perfectly fine the only thing as that she had an operation on her tooth because it was big but that wan't anyones fault it could have happened to any pet but pets at home is a good shop in my opinion

[@JessPritch]

Well you should adopt because if you buy from pets at home you are supporting pet mills where they mass produce the animals without caring about their health and genetics, because of this they are prone to health issues and aggression. So when you buy pets form pets at home, you are supporting that cause which means more animals need to be bred.

Love PetsatHome. Dream job 😍 Since I’ve owned many animals in my lifetime, I’ve learnt that a lot of the things PetsatHome employees say are kinda bs and so I’d like to work their and actually give people the proper information especially to small animal owners! Nearly ALL of their cages are way to small too! And they’re pricey sometimes 🙃🙃 But apart from that, I’ve owned many hamsters from them.. Only one of them had a health problem which I managed to fix.. Apart from that, never had a problem.

[@Vewk]

Do you guys sell ferrets

[@laurajames7682]

Funny how stores which go through such rigorous training still don't know how to sex their animals properly. We have to return a rat we have grown to love because she was wrongly sold to us alongside a male. We cannot have litters and we don't know if they are even related. So unfair on us and the animals, to be uprooted again over a simple mistake.

[@KEL.OMORI.8007]

You have budgies?

[@aperson5311]

9 months training my ass, all this company does is send false knowledge into the minds of young children that don’t know any better and their parents just don’t know anything about the animal they’re getting. People saying pet stores like this are ethical when it the animal isn’t sold it gets its neck snapped in the back. Someone I know at a young age got 2 rabbits from pets at home turns out one had ringworm and the other was extremely sick. And roomy cages? Rabbits and guinea pigs don’t belong in cages like that. I’ve recently adopted 5 rats from my local animal shelter that holds small animals not only mammals. I’ve named them names that suit them pretty well Norman, Dobby, Piggy, squishy and Wilbur. Wilbur is extremely skittish and is aggressive to me and his brothers so I thought it would be for the best to put him in the hands of someone that can handle him. I couldn’t find anyone so I thought long and hard about if pets at home would take him. Then I thought I would rather put him out on a field than get his head smashed on a desk. I’ve been putting in work end he is now getting better. Don’t buy from this store it’s extremely horrible what they do to these small animals. I’ve seen many dead fish floating in a fish tank before and thought I would come back tomorrow and see if they would do anything. Surprise they didn’t I asked about it and they said they would look into cleaning it in a couple hours or so. That isn’t looking after animals that’s just plain laziness.

[@aperson5311]

@QueenBitch-bj9ds That’s a lot of animals “knowledgeable staff” are adopting. I will not be keeping my “lies” and hate to myself when they still promote terrible cages which are death traps as well as promote food and toys which can cause blockages as well as other problems for the animal. These animals are kept in extremely small not enriching cages. They are stressed out as they have no privacy and I refuse to support them. Not to mention their insane prices I haven’t seen one good enclosure for an animal they were marketing it towards and that includes fish.

[@ellaramsden3666]

How can I trust any pet store when you have no idea what's going on behind closed doors it makes me feel sick

[@laurendeacon3940]

As a long term work experience I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that all animals at the pets at home I'm at are very well looked after, iv seen the store operative coming in on his day off the check up on the animals in Isolation!

Rachel Wilde sometimes hamsters just die it's not always the shops fault and 6 months is also a normal hamster lifetime

[@hamstergaming1931]

I agree, I got a hamster from another shop. he died when he was one. he was my first hamster, I was so sad. And I still go to the pet shop that sold me my hamster and they are a good pet shop. I know it's hard but it's no ones fault.

[@JessPritch]

@@ionahynes4407 six months is not a normal hamsters life time!!! They live on average 2-3 years they reach senior years when they are 1.5 years old. Also I wouldn’t buy an animal at pets at home because you are supporting rodent mills which is where they mass breed rodents without caring about the hamsters health and genetics which is why they are prone to illnesses and during this time they are kept in horrible conditions and tiny cages overflowing with waste and it is disgusting

[@chrisbrownrigg1]

My friend got her rabbit from pets@home it had a nasal issue constantly sneezing and watery nose was vet checked by them and they couldn't find a problem (clearly there was not normal to sneeze and have a watery nose) my friend became pregnant so could no longer care for the rabbit so I took it I immediately took away the saw shavings and his nose cleared up Not rocket science really but pets@home have basic knowledge incl their vets but they do try. After bunny I had to get him a friend bambi also from pets@home and after him two guinea pigs. In a nut shell no1 is perfect and pet knowledge is down to comon sense and experience all my boys are fine and are still here after two years I still shop there but its down to the buyer to know what your buying and what to look out for when you first see the animals and their living conditions

[@cameron31399]

[@roseb3387]

All three of the hamsters I've had from different stores have had full lives and have been very healthy until very old (say from 20 months onwards). However "suitable place to live".... Yeah you can't claim that one given the ridiculously small/borderline cruel cages they sell to uneducated and unsuspecting owners. Who, let's be honest, are usually parents of young children who don't research small pet care and don't want a lot of bother or have the pet take up much space. There needs to be a better range of cages on offer and the small ones just simply shouldn't be available

I like mine, but some of the fish has ammonia, swim bladder and some were you know. dead... HOWEVER!!! I do mini self health checks and overall I would rate pets at home 9.89/10 because the fish need a tiny but more care. mostly the fancy goldfish. I have three which are very healthy and I've raised them as babies!!! they're still alive and bubbly.

Why don't they mention anything about pet rats? We bought a pair of pet rats from them and it took the guy that worked there like 30 mins to get them out of the cage so I highly doubt they gave them any health checks or real care and socialisation. Also recently I just read up that they get they're rats from rodent farms where the mothers are forced to breed and the babies get no socialisation and I wouldn't be surprised if they pick them up by their tails which is what the guy at the store said that we can do that to get them out of the cage and asked us to try and get them out. It was so unprofessional but we did buy them and I must say, I'm starting to regret it because we have treated them so well but they don't want anything to with us. Our Hands and anything in them is food to them and I've been bitten a few times now for no reason. I'm starting to develop a fear of these animals living in our house now and its horrible because we bought them to help me with my anxiety and depression I suffer with. We had a Pet Rat previous to these two, He died at 2 years old (we adopted him from a friend who didn't have time to take care of him due to work and kids which is fair enough) and it breaks my heart every time they don't accept me because all I think about is how I've lost the best pet we ever had :(

[@SaffronDallimore]

Syli Ai-Chan Give your pet rats some time. They need to get used to you and they need to learn to trust you. Don’t take it to heart. Give them treats each time they come over to you. Be patient and they will warm up to you in no time. I know you have written this a few months ago now, so I hope they have gotten used to you. Though, still do what I have said, you’ll bond well. Also, don’t be afraid of them, they can sense that. Be calm, relaxed and just talk to them. They will get used to you.

[@SaffronDallimore]

Also, sometimes rats can think your hands are food, because they smell of food if you have been handling food. Might be worth a try to wash you hands before interacting with them.

At 1:42 is wear I bought my pet rat Smokey. He was in excellent condition. The store is in Plymouth we here I live I recognise it. There rabbits have really big cages as well, and the gerbils are no longer kept alone. They sell decent sized cage now apart from the odd 3 tiny ones.

The pets at home near me has not even an inch of bedding for hamsters if you know hamsters are borrowing rodents and 1 inch is not enough a am only speaking for my local one tho

[@veganisobel582]

You clean out the cages EVERY DAY?!?!

[@Aspen_Husky]

+Robyn Kennington-Jones to make sure the cages look respectable for customers :(

[@cameron31399]

Also it is a smaller space than their forever home so it needs to be hygenic

[@desolatehusk3555]

To all the people saying pets at home are bad... There not, I've been going there for several years now and I've seen nothing but healthy animals that have the right environment and the correct space. I've also bought 2 guinea pigs, a hamster, a leopard gecko and 2 corn snakes from pets at home, who are all still living wonderful lives. They are not a bad shop and care for all the animals in there care correctly, I don't know what other branches are like, but the several I've been to have always been amazing

[@JessPritch]

They get their animals from pet mills and sell bad cages and give out bad information. All the pets are from rodent/pet mills where they are mass produced so they have really bad genetics which makes them prone to health issues.

[@teamrodent619]

@Pets at Home Where do you source your pets from?

[@JessPritch]

I think rodent mills 🥺

[@teamrodent619]

@@JessPritch That's what I thought... Just so u know, thee is a pet shop called pets corner and they are ethical breeders, they don't kill the mother or do any of that bad stuff

[@JessPritch]

@@teamrodent619 ooh ok thank you I’ll look into it!!!

I've bought many hamsters from pets at home. My recent hamster is now 3 years old. He's still going strong and he's now living a quite life. When I first saw him I just fell in love. The lovely lady who was working said no one wants him as he's very nerves and doesn't like being touched. She said if he's still here at the end of the week she was going to take him home. I wasn't just going to be another person that said no just because he's a little harder to handle than the others. I bought him then and there. He has been the best hamster I've had and I've had over 10. He knows his name (Biscuit) and will come when I call him. He will follow me everywhere. And he likes to sleep in my hands. I go to pets at home for all my hamsters and everything I need.

[@ellaramsden3666]

I'm not taking any of this bull crap my hamster died from here a week ago A year ago I also got a rabbit from here and she was infected with a disease she died two weeks later

[@zoegreen4147]

Ella Ramsden all pets at home stores are individually owned, my one is extremely good, and so are many others, it's again those few that spoil it for others
