The impressive Feed Barn, which was built just a few years ago stocks a huge range of foods for dogs, horses, poultry etc. and can even cater for animals as diverse as Alpacas and Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs.

Pets Pad have also developed their own brand of dog foods to help cater for everything from working dogs to those you carry in your handbag.

Away from the animals, the store carries a massive treasure trove of treats for pets ranging from designer fish tanks and vivariums for reptiles to beds, toys, dog coats, bird cages and healthcare items – you can even pick up a tennis ball catapult to really exercise your animals.

Graham, Esther and all the staff have extensive knowledge of all their animals and stock and can help you make the right decision when choosing a pet.

The personal service also ensures you get exactly what you want. Pets Pad can provide specific pets to order, can source any specialist foods and offer a bespoke service when it comes to fish tanks, vivariums, cages and pet clothing.

Graham said: “We have a passion for animals and help people to provide the perfect environment for their pets. Unlike many major chains you can be guaranteed of a personal and friendly service at Pets Pad as we work to make sure both the pet and their new owner are happy, healthy and satisfied.

“This is a family business and we have a large number of loyal customers who rely on us to provide top quality goods at the right price.
