0:48 “very well looked after” in a tiny cage 😂

Omg this is my local pets at home!!

I Really want that rabbit he/ she was adorable

pets at home are genuinely very good in this area but i have seen few problems with pets in the past

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, KZfaqrs: 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.

This is my dream job haha

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

Wow 👏 what amazing large and definitely not inappropriate cages 😑 Wish pets at home actually cared

Those guinea pigs are beautiful 😍

Im soo happy cause i might get a pet soon!!!!!

Me an my cousin both got our Syrians from here mine is 5 months old now and is such a cutie

the way she handheld it at 1:48

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... I’m not lying about this and pets at home caused me loads of tears and sadness

At my local pets at home the cage are huge and always clean! And the animals are always looking happy :)

1:47 yes very well looked after 😢

Cages at back of store way to small

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.

I give my animals great care and we have spent £400 pounds the first month and one died I was devastated very poor care they give at pets at home Stockport x

the pets at home near me is amazing, i live in london, and the pets at home there is great

I love pets at home it is my favourite pet store I hope to get a hamster from the adoption section at the end of the month

i got 2 rabbits from pets at home called snow and white and the lady we got them from diddnt even now there genders! couldnt tell who was who and gave us a gunie pig cage for them! said they only eat pelets no veg and they were 1! they dont know anything about rabbits (my rabbits now are happy and they have their own room where they can actualy have fun!!!!!!!)

You didn’t check the sex for my hamster 😂 the shop worker said my hamster was a girl but ends up he’s a boy lol 😂

The way she picked up that gerbil at 1:46 bruh

Wow that cage is the size of our litter box

Funny idea of a roomy cage....

I go to this pets at home, could recognise it straight away 😀

I can't wait for the summer holidays because I am getting two Guinea pigs

This is the exact same pets at home I go to

This is my local pet shop where I recently got my hamster from. I think you guys should upgrade the cages.. and get bigger cages.

They talk about the need for a suitable environment, despite selling so many cages and tanks that are way too small for the animals they sell them for.

i agree with Luca So Much I Think Its Cruelty where i Am The cages are small and ive seen what goes on behind the scenes when theres customers they act all nice i always see dead stuff in tanks (fish ect)

I went there today and the same lady have me advice for my hamster

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

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

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 :-(

My local pets at home is the Merry Hill one :)

Well done pets at home!👏

I’m 500th like

Pets at home are better than many other chain pet shops but certainly not all the independent ones! I got my hamster from Birnies in Elgin where she had her own cage, aspen shavings, an 8 inch wheel, plastic hut, tube and plenty chews toys and food all to herself. Often many of the hamsters are dead before they even get to P@H. You dont know where they come from either. However, hamsters arent nescecarily pets for children and usually the complaints are from families with a bitey or aggressive hamster. Hamsters must be tamed and looked after properly with a nice big cage in order to be friendly towards you.

I live in the UK and when ever we go out I make mum bring me to pets at home

I love pet

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

I don't know where this pets at home is but the ones near me are quite good, clean and tidy and the animals look healthy. But the problem is most likely when you get a animal for here they become poorly and eventually die way to early. My friend got a hamster that lasted for a month and I got 2 guinea pigs one lasted a month with us and the other lasted 11 months at least. So possibly there health checks ain't the best but please don't let this stop you buying them. Also their pet items and food are all well and good. This is just my opinion :)

1:48 holds mouse umm Interesting

I once adopted a baby Guinea pig from here and she died 6 days later. It absolutely broke my heart, she was only 9 weeks old. When I went back and told them they offered another Guinea pig (free of charge), a refund for the one that died and a free vet check up for the other Guinea pig I had caged the baby with. It doesn't make up for the heartbreak or the short lived life of that poor little girl. It's absolutely appalling, as this has happened to my friends rabbit and another friends fish. The breeders they get the animals from are horrific as well.

Guys here are some channels if you want to learn about animals pets at home barely give any proper advice Lennon the bunny - to learn about rabbits Little adventures - guinea pigs Victoria raechel - hamsters They are all amazingggg

Great store. It is the only pet store I have in my small town and is amazing!

NEVER hold a rabbit on its back. It’s slows their heart rate putting them into a trance... which can kill them

Pets at home are really good they don't abuse the animals people who say they do are wrong. I hate when people say adopt don't shop but in the end of the day they are all animals who need great homes

my hamster died today because he had a fit so yea I think they passed on his health check because he shouldn't have been sold now my heart is broken he only lived for 6months so yea great shop !

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

Thank god they dont have those cruel rodent mills... I am now satisfied with the quality and cant wait till i get my ratties in a few weeks!!

I got my dwarf hamster from here, In great condition, healthy, happy and very very easy to tame! :D

My friend got a hamster from there they got all blue stuff thinking they where getting a boy but once the bought it the man told them that was a girl lol!!!

I honestly love pets at home favourite Uk place 😊😍

YES!!! THE PETS AT HOME IN THIS EPISODE IS FROM THE ONE I GO TO!!! (I know the surroundings very well, were they sell the Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Reptiles, Fish. 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. I've seen many bad reports but it depends where like. my local one is smaller but better than the other one that's 1-2 hours away. I could jabber away more but people might get annoyed of how long this is😂💜 xJennyx

I got my two guinea pigs from a pets at home shop they are healthy and in shape but unfortunately the person who was assisting us was rushing and was picking them up quite aggressively he barely gave the guinea pigs a quick look over to see if they were healthy and even more disappointing was he was the manager :/

Pets at home are great, that's where I get everything from. All of my pets and supplies, I would recommend Pets at Home.

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.

i am getting my guinea pig soon lol

When I got my rabbit, Storm, from pets at home he was thin you could feel his bones when you stroked him and it looked like someone cut his side and tried sewing it up and failed he also kept sneezing! Defiantly top quality care! NOT

I was wondering if when you bought them were they neutered/spayed?

I have several hamsters from here over the years and they have all been completely happy and healthy

I love pets at home the pets seem to be very healthy and happy they seem so well looked after and the people who worked there are so helpful and nice it's the best pet store in my aria

I went to buy guinea pigs and I bought two of them and I took them to the vet after a couple days of having them because one of them kept sneezes and turns it out that one of them had ringworm and other one had a cold and could possible get ringworm now there on lots of meds I was never told anything was wrong with them when currently buying them :(

I don't know about other peoples experience but when i bought my two guinea pigs at my local pets at home they were exceptionally good. He gave some great advice about cages they had in store that fit the size requirements needed for two adult guinea pigs (thinking ahead) but really recommended getting a CxC cage even though pets at home don't sell them (which i did). He was clearly very passionate about the welfare of the animals, making sure i knew the dietary requirements and gave some great input on whether i should use sawdust or fleece (ended up choosing fleece with trial and error) then he gave both of my boys a health check and double checked sex and booked another free check for two weeks later. i was actually really, really impressed that they were trying to make sure pet owners got the right information, i dont know about the corporate side but the staff clearly were very passionate and wanted the animals to be looked after and live happy lives. 3 months on and i have had no issues with my boys, apart from the wheeking anytime they hear plastic rustle or the fridge open.

0:33 and yet they dont know that bottles for rabbits cause dehydration?

I diddent like pets at home till I bought two rats from there there we're three but the other one was dangerously hungry and wasn't drinking and so skinny I thought they we're gonna put it down but they did sent they treated it back to health and a manager from there brought it home.

the 9 months and 12 exams to qualify to probably will help you get another job after

That cage is really small for a rabbit!

You have budgies?

1 question, most of your hamster cages are too small according to the RSPCA (80cm by 50cm) a lot of the pets at home cages are a lot less than this, can anyone explain this.

How much would I have to spend for a Syrian hamster

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.

I might get a hamster on Monday but I am definitely getting one on Tuesday next Tuesday not today

this looks like the pets at home in cramlington

Some people say don’t buy pet from pets at home because some have tummy worm

9 months training, do u get paid during training?

Hello, you mey not remember me but its julia(the girl who baught lots of hamsters) im not sure if this is a video from the uk. I just wanted to ask, do you have any cool hamster toys or treats? It was my hamsters birthday yesterday and i promised to buy him sonthing for his birthday. If possible can you reply and tell me the best hamster products you have? Also about a year ago i lost my pet rabbit and my naboughs found him and brung him to you, he was black and white with a purple eye, please help me find him :( and if you do help me find him i might think about working at pets at home when im old enough.

i'm going to be getting a bird soon. so im going to probbaly hea dthere today

I recommened pets At home.it is WAYYYYYYY better than petsmart since What i Heard they do At petsmart its just disgusting and horrible so i would say this pet store is probably the best

You say that their needs are met well tell me why the hamsters are in rediculessly tiny cages and syrians are kept together and why last week i whent to pets at home and saw a hamster with wet tail

obviously🤔why does it say then to only rehome a dwarf hamster one per cage and there end up bieng like 4 per mini cage in the pet store?

This is the Tunbridge Wells store! That’s where I got my guinea pigs :)

Hmm yeah I bought 2 guinea pigs from the Stockport store and they died when we go them home and took them out of the box !!

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

Is this the Braintree one??

I have a hamster from pets at home and he's fine but I don't suggest getting fish.... we have always had fish but when we get them at pets at home it's not long until the die so we are not getting fish at pets at home anymore.

omg bunneh

I sware that's Cambridge

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

they got the five needs incorrect. Another is "ability to carry out natural behaviours".

in my local pets at home the cages are too small and the wheels are tiny. I suggest to make them bigger

I used to be afraid of rats but staff let me hold one and now I'm fine with them

I think my local one has trouble with sexing the hamsters, out of 6 boys i bought there 4 were girls. i have never seen any fresh fruit and veg in the tanks there either.

Never full clean small rodents, especially daily 😢😢

Its weird how u show ur rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs but not rats. However there a really good shop, although no one knew how many danios were allowed to be in a certain tank, 2, then 4, then 8

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.

I go here every week for my hammy!

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.
