We visited Pets at Home in Corstorphine, and this spacious, well-lit shop is certainly a pet lover’s dream! They offer a plethora of products and services to cater to the needs of pets and their owners alike. 

First off, we’re impressed with their diverse product selection – from high-quality pet food and treats to a wide range of pet toys, accessories, and healthcare products. Whether you have a dog, cat, or bird, this place would be for you.

We also appreciate the staff at Pets at Home. They were helpful and approachable, ready to assist with our queries and offer expert advice on pet care and products. 

In addition, we noticed that they have an in-store grooming salon offering professional grooming services. This makes it a convenient one-stop-shop for pet owners seeking pampering sessions for their furry companions.

We were delighted to learn that the store collaborates with local animal shelters, providing pet adoption services to find forever homes for pets in need. This dedication to animal welfare is heartwarming.

Unlike other pet shops, Pets at Home hosts nutrition consultations and seasonal workshops for pet owners, offering valuable guidance on pet behaviour and training. We believe that these resources are very helpful, especially for new pet parents.

While Pets at Home offers quality products, some customers may find their prices slightly higher compared to other pet stores or online retailers.

For owners of exotic pets, the store’s selection of specialised supplies might be limited, so you may need to explore other sources for niche products.

Established in 2006, Just Dogs is a charming pet shop that has earned our praise for its great selection of all-natural products and commitment to canine well-being. 

For us, they stand out for offering all-natural dog treats, including delightful options like Benevo’s Pawtato Mint & Parsley Tubes. This shows that their delicious goodies for pets are not only tasty but also beneficial for their health. 

An additional pro is their commendable free local home delivery service within the Edinburgh area (EH1-EH17). Pet owners can enjoy the convenience of receiving their pet’s essentials right at their doorstep on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

We were delighted with their knowledgeable and passionate staff who we believe are true dog lovers. They offered us valuable advice on pet care, nutrition, and training, and their genuine interest in the well-being of our dogs shines through.

We think the store’s emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly products is also admirable. This makes them ideal to environmentally-conscious dog owners who seek eco-friendly choices for their furry friends.

Just Dogs, as their name suggests, specialises in catering exclusively to dog owners, making it a niche store that does not offer supplies for cats, birds, or small animals.

Since we went there during peak hours, we observed that some of the store’s aisles are relatively small. This may lead to customers feeling cramped while navigating through the store.

They’re also closed on Mondays, which may inconvenience some pet owners.

Dofos Pet Centre has left a paw-sitive impression on us with its long-standing legacy as a family-owned business. It has been operating since1973, which is commendable, reflecting their passion and commitment to serving the pet community in Edinburgh.

The store offers an extensive selection of pet products for dogs and cats so that owners can find everything they need under one roof. Products range from premium pet foods and treats to an array of toys, accessories, and grooming essentials. 

The staff at Dofos Pet Centre were also warm and welcoming, with a wealth of knowledge about pet care. They were able to give us specific info on their products, helping us with our pet purchases.

With an in-store grooming salon, Dofos Pet Centre allows pets to receive top-notch pampering. This makes it a convenient destination for pet parents seeking professional grooming services.

For those who prefer shopping online, they offer free shipping on orders over £49. This offering allows pet owners to stock up on their furry friends’ essentials without worrying about additional shipping costs.

Do note that they exclusively cater to dogs and cats. Meaning, pet owners with other types of pets, such as birds, small animals, or reptiles would need to go elsewhere.

Another point to note is that Dofos Pet Centre is closed on Sundays, which may be a drawback for pet owners seeking to shop on weekends.

Patch’s Pet Supplies is a paw-some destination for all pet owners, offering a delightful array of products and services that cater to every furry friend’s needs. 

They also left no tail unturned in curating an extensive product range, from top-notch pet food and treats to trendy accessories and cosy beds. It’s like a pet paradise filled with goodies!

What sets Patch’s Pet Supplies apart is their status as an independent retailer. This unique position allows them to handpick and rigorously test every single item that graces their store shelves. 

Speaking of handpicking, the shop prioritises quality and safety, providing only trusted brands and products, such as Arden Grange and Applaws. As pet parents, we felt confident in choosing products that met the highest standards for our fur babies.

The staff at Patch’s Pet Supplies were quite attentive. We were happy that they offered us tailored recommendations for our pets. 

We were also happy to learn that they’re open all week long! This is a real treat for pet owners who may have unpredictable schedules or find it challenging to visit during typical business hours. 

As of now, Patch’s Pet Supplies has a single physical location unlike other shops that have multiple branches in Edinburgh. This may be a drawback for pet owners residing far from the store.

Due to their focus on premium brands, some customers might find Patch’s Pet Supplies relatively more expensive compared to other pet shops. Budget-conscious pet owners may need to weigh the benefits against their budgetary constraints. 

Upon entering Harry’s Treats, we were immediately greeted by a charming display of dog-themed décor and a warm, inviting ambiance. The store’s dog-friendly atmosphere made us feel welcome and appreciated.

Harry’s Treats lives up to its name with a delectable array of treats that would make any dog’s taste buds dance with joy. From savoury biscuits to mouthwatering chewy delights, they offer a diverse selection of flavours and textures.

The shop also boasts specialty food options – from grain-free selections to treats suitable for sensitive tummies. This is ideal for those whose dogs have specific dietary needs.

What truly impressed us is their commitment to using premium, human-grade ingredients with no artificial colourings or preservatives. Moreover, their treats are lovingly handmade at their base in Edinburgh, which adds an extra layer of care.

We also appreciated their friendly and charming staff. They were more than eager to offer recommendations and insights into their products, taking the time to understand our dog’s preferences and needs. 

One minor drawback was their limited physical space. We thought it was quite tiny compared to the other pet shops we visited.

Another is that they’re closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. This closure may inconvenience some customers who were hoping to visit the store during the start of the week.
