You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a pet from us. The welfare of the pets we sell in stores is our highest priority and we reserve the right to refuse the sale of a pet where our colleagues feel it is not in the pets best interests.
If you are at all concerned about your pet’s health please contact your local veterinary surgery for advice. They will be able to let you know if you pet requires any treatment or an appointment.

Although both species are very social and love company, rabbits and guinea pigs have differing nutritional needs. It is also possible for a rabbit kicking out in play to severely injure a guinea pig. For these reasons we will not sell a rabbit to live with a guinea pig or vice versa.
Tank Setup
Coldwater fish are happiest and thrive when in a coldwater tank and tropical fish need their water to be maintained at a higher temperature than a coldwater tank in order to survive.
We use general guidelines to determine how many fish are suitable for an aquarium. Coldwater fish: 0.5cm of fish per 1 litre of water
Maintaining the water quality is the most important factor in keeping fish healthy. Check the water regularly and every few weeks carry out a partial water change.
Every aquarium needs some sort of filter system. There are several different types available, but they all perform a similar function. Quite simply, fish live in their own toilet and a filter therefore behaves like their life support system, trapping any large waste particles and ensuring the water is kept clean for them to breathe.
The treatment you need for your fish and tank will vary depending on the symptoms of your fish. Please contact your local store who will be able to advise on the best treatment for your fish once you have described the symptoms.
Ideally you need to transfer the fish and their water to another tank as soon as possible. If you do not have another tank immediately available transfer the fish and water to a suitably sized waterproof container and arrange to get them another tank with a filter system as soon as possible. The sooner the fish can be placed back in a filtered tank the better as this will reduce stress and illnesses from occurring.
It is important to wait at least 7 days with all the tank systems running before adding any fish in order for the environment to stabilise and the tank to be at its optimum for supporting aquatic life. When you begin to add fish this must be done gradually over a number of weeks and not all at once so the filter can adjust to the increased ammonia in the tank produced by the fish.
Returns
A refund of your original delivery charge or return postage costs will only be given in the instance of incorrect, damaged or faulty goods when all the items are returned. Your order can also be returned to any Pets at Home store.
You can either: Complete the form on the rear of the delivery note including: order number, item ref and the reason for the return.
We will process a refund as soon as the goods are received back with us in the case of returns or as soon as we have seen photographic evidence in instances where goods are not to be returned. Refunds are normally processed by your Card issuing bank within 2 – 5 working days of us raising the refund but some banks require 30 days to process.
If goods are being returned to us we will action a refund upon receipt of the goods back into our warehouse. If goods are returned to one of our stores they will be able to action a refund at that time.
We are currently unable to replace or exchange online orders. All online returns are therefore refunded upon receipt back into our warehouse. Online orders returned to our stores can be exchanged or refunded provided the store has stock available to complete the exchange.
We will be happy to refund a product, provided (in the case of any non-defective products) it is in fully re-saleable condition. Returns should be made within a reasonable time (usually 28 days) and in original, undamaged packaging. If any non defective product returned is not in fully re-saleable condition or the packaging is damaged, we reserve the right to refuse a refund on the item, or deduct up to 20% of the original selling price from the refund amount. This does not affect your statutory rights.
We will refund your original delivery charge when a product is faulty or damaged, but not when a product is simply unwanted. |
