The 30 Best Pets in Ilkeston

“I love this shop, I have used it for many, many years! A lovely independent pet store that is ran by lovely people. Well stocked too! I have always brought all of my pet food here (I have had a few pets over the years.) Rabbit, snake, chickens, hamsters, gecko, cat, dog and fish...they have all been fed by food from Chambers! My dog loves the hairy cows ears and the puffed pig noses. I get my dog food here too as their own brand is not full of rubbish like the 'main brands' you buy in a supermarket! If you want natural treats for your dogs rather than the ones full of fillers and sugar then this is the place.”

“Very friendly, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend any pet owner to visit, see of it suits them to shop here. There is a nice, varied small amount of accessories and treats, reasonable price, easy to park outside. The owner will lift your purchase into your vehicle.”

“Took both my dogs in for neutering & spay this year. They have been absolutely amazing with my Amber who isn’t the easiest of dogs. The vet was really kind & understanding The nurse Tasha was so lovely and helpful, Thank you so much. Been using them for years now, would definitely recommend.”

“Signed up with Ambivet Ilkeston for my first pet and I’ve been more than happy with everything. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and look after my baby, can’t thank them enough especially for today as my kitten has been spayed”

“Just found this Cafe today while on a walk around Ilkeston. It's open every day from 10am till 3pm in the centre of Victoria Park next to the bowling green pavilion. At the moment during the Covid Virus it is only take away coffee and tea's plus a chocolate bar or chocolate brownie of course. Plenty of seating around the Park or bowling green to sit and catch your breath”

“First visit and couldn't not have received a better service. Thank you, Priory Vets. You were wonderful with my fur babies.”

“Went to jollys groomers today to get my very nervous dogs claws cut I was met by a very nice guy who was very patient and took his time with Willow to gain her confidence he spent time making sure she was comfortable and what would ordinarily have been a very stressful event passed without incident. I am sorry I didn't get his name but he was amazing I will certainly go back....”

“My old dog needed to look tidy and I needed the appointment ASAP. Not a problem. They got me in quickly, and did a nice job.... even her front legs which she normally will fight you for, all in a day's work. Well done and I will visit again.”

He comes back looking and smelling great, so much care and attention is put into his groom, he has always been a little nervous when being groomed but I know he is fully looked after by Marcia who offers a fantastic service, see you in 6 weeks!”

“Didn't even know Petfit was here! Tucked out the way but good parking and a great selection, the ladies were extremely polite and kind enough to carry my purchase to the car! Well priced and a good range”

He has gone way and beyond and my cats have come back home happy and they have adapted pretty soon to being back home as they were with him for 3 weeks. Its the second time that he has taken care of them and they will definately be back. Thank you so much Carl you have been amazing and have put our minds at soo much ease that we were able to have an amazing holiday away.”

“I started my ICMG journey at Sue Olivers dog grooming studio... from my initial study day to completing my track one sue put me completely at ease. Sue is very supportive and understands individuals anxieties and stress associated with exams and her encouraging and positive approach to this really gave me confidence and a “can do attitude” there is also the added bonus of working in a beautiful environment. I Will be returning to Sue’s in August to start my Masters track. Highly recommend.”

“Our family cat, Susie, was looked after for all of her long life by Davison Vets. And so we took her here, finally, when she became ill for the last time. We experienced such care and sensitivity from all of the staff at the practice, and we were never rushed in any way. Both of the Vets we saw were immensely kind and considerate, but also utterly professional and nothing was too much trouble. I can’t thank everyone enough for the time they took to explain everything to us, at what was a very sad time- Thank You all for helping us through it.”

“Amazing staff very friendly helpful 5**”

“Very good, convenient, easy access, parking, pleasant staff, knowledgeable, go here on a regular basis for my repeat prescription. A little expensive for the goods, but other than that, Ok.”

“Very friendly, easy to work with these people who face difficult challenges everyday. Given the type of clientele they have to deal with daily they do a marvellous job. I am very thankful to them for their hard work.”

“Great place. Fast delivery. Excellent service.”

“My boy Vinnie loves being picked up for his walks with Caroline. They have a special bond and I'm confident he is being well looked after by someone who genuinely cares for him. Its evident Caroline is very knowledgable about dogs and super flexible and helpful. I highly recommend her business 'Waggy Tails'. x”

“Fantastic … Liz popped in a couple of times a day to look after my very shy cat. I received updates after every visit which were extremely valuable. The cat and the flat were very well looked after and cared for. I would wholeheartedly recommend Smiling Cats and Dogs.”
