.. of Frome Cheese Show!

         Wow! What a busy day we had at the Frome Cheese Show on Saturday. Our tent was busy all day – and especially so when the rains came down.  All of our animals and exotics were a hit with the visitors – and so many people were fascinated with our snake skins and spider sheds.

A lovely young lady called Rebecca who was completely arachnophobic managed to hold a large tarantula skin – well done, Rebecca!

Did you know that a tarantula sheds its exoskeleton (shell) – and even leaves the fangs behind? Have you seen the eye caps on a snake skin that has been shed? All amazing stuff!

There was lots of handling of rats and hamsters and of course our lovely bunnies and guinea pigs. We also sold lots of dog toys and treats on the day to happy dog and cat customers and gave away plenty of freebies.

Tigger bounced in for a visit and lots of visitors were captivated by our supersoft mini-lop bunnies or had a cuddle with Harley, our Harleqin Bunny – who nearly found himself a new home on the day!

Thanks to all who visited the tent on the day and all our lovely staff who helped prepare for the day and especially to Anny and Beccy who worked really hard – and left the day with very little voice left!

Summer of the Cat Event Saturday 20th August at Bath Pet Centre

So – this Saturday we have our Summer of the Cat Event teaming up with Royal Canin and the Bristol & Wales Cat Rescue organisation. These lovely ladies from the rescue organisation will be having a small tombola and a table of goodies to sell and a few of their more robust kittens with them as people are always happy to see them.  The kittens always love it too as they get so many cuddles!! Julie from B&W Cat Rescue says “As you can imagine, they are extremely well catered for on days out and we always take a big pen with food, water, shelter and toys to keep them safe when they have had enough cuddle time.” They hope to bring 2 or 3 of their kittens with them.  https://www.bristolandwalescatrescue.com/

There will be plenty of offers on the day from Royal Canin plus specialist advice from their nutrition experts. Everything starts from around 10.00 am onwards. Ring 01225 461461 for details or contact us via our website, Facebook page (NotJustPets) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Notjustpets-Pet-Shops-in-Bath-Frome/103981576322758  or our Twitter page (@NotJustPets) https://twitter.com/#!/NotJustPets

..and the winner is…

We are delighted to announce the winner of our pet photo competition which was entitled “they’re not just pets, they’re family” 

This is Riley who lives with @JoJoCoombe who sent this lovely picture to us via Twitter. This was a really tough competition to judge with some lovely pictures and it is great to see our customers really treating their pets as part of their family. Our independent judge thought that this one encapsulated the title of the competition perfectly – and Riley is most definitely part of the Coombe’s family.

Riley is the Coombe’s Bernese Mountain Dog – he’s only 9 months old and Jo says “he is a gentle giant that enjoys cuddles and paddling in the river”. His prize will be winging its way today to him.

Thank you to everyone who entered the competition and for spreading the word that “they’re not just pets, they’re family” which is our Company motto. Here is a gallery of photos for you all to enjoy.
