Reviews Summary

Pets at Home Fort Kinnaird displays a mixture of feedback, with customers overall expressing satisfaction with the staff and the store's cleanliness, organization, and product range. However, concerns regarding animal welfare and store policies have notably marred its reputation. A recurring theme in the feedback focuses on the treatment of small animals, particularly rabbits; one review highlighted alleged non-compliance with legal size requirements for animal enclosures, labeling it as animal abuse. This isolated but serious accusation suggests potential gaps in staff knowledge or store policy adherence. While compliments towards staff assistance and store policy add to the positive aspects, frustrations with waiting times, especially in the aquatics department, and insufficient checkout staff on weekends indicate room for improvement in customer service efficiency.

In my review, I would like to make it clear that what I will be talking about is nothing short of animal abuse. I have heard from friends and family that Pets at Home Fort Kinniard have previously housed rabbits in enclosures meant for smaller animals, such as guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, and mice. But now I have seen this with my own eyes, and I was brought to tears. According to the Scottish Government and their Rabbit Welfare Guidance, which is a part of the Animal Health and Welfare Scotland (Act) 2006, 'the minimum total area required for two average-sized rabbits is 10ft (3m) × 6ft (180cm) × 3ft (90cm) high'. This Act also states that rabbits should be able to 'exercise freely'. This poor rabbit, which I met, whose name is Sugar, is/was not being housed in appropriate conditions, and this is appalling. Surely, a shop that sells and cares for animals and animal products should know that it is abusive and neglectful to keep a rabbit in such conditions. And even if they are unaware of the guidelines (which would be unlikely considering they house and care for animals), I think that it takes some common sense and a good heart to look at that rabbit and realise that this is cruel. How are the public supposed to learn to treat rabbits correctly and safely if a large chain of shops such as Pets at Home can't even treat them well? Again, this is shocking and abusive treatment, which should never have happened and should never happen again. Lastly, I have attached some photos of poor Sugar and their housing.
