Celebrating Small Animals!

National Pet Month is here! At Not Just Pet we are celebrating small animals this week as part of a month-long promotion of responsible pet ownership and Celebrating our pets!

This week we will be exploring the best ways to care for all your small furry friends!

On Saturday 5th April we will be holding an open day in our Bath store raising awareness of small animals as pets.

We have Wendy Barry from Somershire hamster Rescue who will be on hand to help with all your hamster queries and questions from food to handling.

Michelle from Bath Bunny Rescue will also be on hand for anything bunny related.

We will also be selling yummy small animal themed cakes where all money raised will go towards the animal rescue charities.

If you love all things furry and fuzzy come and join in the fun this Saturday!

Spring time news!

The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and as we head into the last week of March it is starting to feel like Spring has sprung.

Spring is known as a time of year for fresh starts and new beginnings, and here at Not Just Pets we too have some new ideas we would like to share with you.

We are taking the blog updates in a new direction to share news, advice, products and information in a regular newsletter. These will be once a week and include reviews, news, information and stories! We are also hoping that you the reader and pet owner will help contribute to these by sending in pictures and stories of your pets when they have settled into their forever home. These can be old pets, new pets, or borrowed pets! Everyone is encouraged to get involved in illustrating the wonderful world of pets as part of the family. In return we will be offering contests, giveaways, information and advice as well as tutorials and how-to guides and product reviews. We will be reviewing new products available as well as old favourites. We will be demonstrating the benefits of why we recommend and love them.

News from in store this week

We had the Greyhound rescue charity event in store on Saturday 22nd of March. Greyhound rescue West of England volunteers and dogs were in store raising funds for their charity. They work hard to promote rescue of the greyhound and lurcher breeds as well as promoting the benefits of the breeds themselves. They have all the information about rehoming and rescuing on their page. https://www.grwe.com/
