I was in Pets at Home Straiton Park (Edinburgh) with a friend as we were at Ikea unfortunately as I hate the layout of the store and the fact that people take kids who clearly don't want to be there. My friend was at P@H for cat food so I went over to see the piggies since I can't help myself. One pig clearly had a fungal infection on the side of his nose and another had a weepy, yellow mucus eye. I have reported this to the store in person and also emailed head office. This is unacceptable.

There were also 3 LARGE guinea pigs in a tiny cage waiting to be re-homed as part of the adoption scheme. I worry about this for the obvious reasons but also the fact that people will think that this is an acceptable size to keep three piggies in! It was barely big enough for one :no: There wasn't enough room for them to move properly. I hope something gets done but I have my doubts.
 
That poor Piggie! I'm forever going into P@H as my friend works there and we like to chat about our piggies....

I can't understand how there are different standards regarding people who work there, my local branch clean out the cages regularly, fresh food and water. All the animals are well looked after. But once I went to Lincoln branch and haven't been back because the people there were so miserable and uninterested!

But truthfully if I noticed any of the pigs and other animals not in proper form I would tell the Manager and report it to HO...

The store here is fine but the one I visited yesterday didn't have the vets and there were only two staff members. This is the first time that I have had a problem with P@H
