Pet Goods Direct Superstore

My partner is a vet nurse, so I get to see a fair few pet stores when I’m out and about with her. I suppose you could say that I am somewhat of a pet store connoisseur.
Pet Goods Direct really is a super store. The place is massive! Needless to say there is a massive range of stock. The floor is plain concrete which seems to be a staple of pet stores these days. People tend to take their pets into the stores so that would make sense.
One thing that makes my partner happy is that they don’t sell cats or dogs. She is of the opinion that people should buy pets from breeders. Hey, it’s an opinion, we all have them! What they DO stock are live birds, fish, rats and rabbits. Maybe other small animals if they have them in stock at the time.
There are two big problems I have with this place. The first thing to mention is the pricing. Most items can be purchased cheaper elsewhere, and you don’t even really need to shop around that hard to find the same item at a lower price. The other issue is the staff. If there are 3 people working when you walk in, I guarantee you every single one of them will ask you if you need help. This happens every time we walk in. Once is OK, twice is a bit irritating, three times is just plain annoying and feels pushy. I actually find it quite off putting. It seems like one of those irritating customer service policies businesses put in place that I absolutely hate.
With that being said, the biggest thing I noticed about this place is the large range of cages. If you want a cage for anything you’re sure to find it here. With the prices though, I’d make sure you couldn’t get it elsewhere cheaper first.
