Happy Birthday to one of our sweetest gentle giants. It's always a good day when Ralphy visits - he likes to make a quick nosedive for his favourite bucket of treats, and then come over for his obligatory head rubbins' 😄🐕

Hours: Approx. 2-3 hours per week, once a week
Available from September (ideally)

We’re looking for a reliable, practical person to unpack our weekly raw food deliveries at The Urban Pet Store.

The job is simple but it does involve lots of physical work. Each week, you’ll bring our raw food delivery into the shop, unpack the boxes and organise the food into the correct freezers.

The role involves:

- Lifting and bringing inside 20+ boxes, each weighing around 12kg
- Unpacking boxes of frozen food
- Putting products neatly into the correct freezers
- Keeping the freezer area organised and tidy

The work only takes approximately 2 hours once a week, making this ideal for someone looking for a small amount of regular work alongside other commitments.

We’re looking for someone who is:

- Reliable
- Comfortable with physical work and lifting boxes
- Able to work independently
- Careful when handling stock

No previous shop experience is necessary - we’ll show you everything you need to know.

If you’re looking for a small, regular weekly job and think this could suit you, please get in touch with a little bit about yourself and your availability. There's no formal interview or CV necessary, and we will update this post once the position has been filled ☺️

Thanks!

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend! ☀️🌡🐾

If this weekend isn't the perfect excuse to eat bucket loads of ice cream, then I'm a goat 😂

We've got a freezer FULL of Scoops doggy ice cream, including our new Puppuccino Pops! 🍦

It's definitely looking too hot for any big adventures with the dogs this weekend, so I think we'll all just have to settle for some iced snackos in the garden instead 🥰🐶

Just a little reminder that we’ll be closed on Monday for the Bank Holiday!

Enjoy the sunshine everyone ☀️

⏰ Opening Hours Update! ⏰

For anyone who hasn’t spotted the signs in store yet, we have a couple of changes to our opening hours this week:

➡️ Today (Thursday): Closing at 4pm instead of 5pm
➡️ Tomorrow (Friday 15th): Closed all day

We always keep our Google opening hours up to date, so if you ever want to double-check that we’re open before making a trip, that’s the best place to look.

It's very rare that our opening hours change, so please don’t let this week put you off. It’s certainly not the norm! 🥹

Thanks so much for your understanding ❤️🐾

📹 I couldn't find a good photo to accompany this post, so here's a video of our doggy bakery instead 😂

This is something I tell people every single day, and it's so hugely important! 🐇

If you already have a rabbit, or have been thinking of adopting one into your family - do better than shoving them in a hutch 🚫

Wild rabbits can cover an area equivalent to 30 football pitches every day while grazing and playing. A study even found one underground warren spanned 517 metres and had over 150 entrances!

Make sure you provide them with sufficient space to roam, explore, binky and exercise their bouncy legs 🐰

A Hutch Is Not Enough.

Rabbits need space to run, stretch up and explore every day, with housing that supports their natural behaviours, not limits them.

A hutch can play a role, but it should always be part of a much larger, enriched living area with rabbits having constant access to at least 3m x 2m of space, 1m high, all in one continuous area. Through this campaign, we’re working with retailers, vets and owners to raise standards and improve rabbit welfare together.

Small changes can make a big difference 🧡

⚠️ Carnilove & True Fresh Announcement ⚠️

If your feed your dog or cat Carnilove or True Fresh, please take a moment to read this 🐕🐈

Carnilove have recently had a big rebrand, and there are some important changes to all of the recipes. This means that the next bag you purchase may look different and the ingredients may have changed! 🐶

All of the ingredient changes are positive, but because the recipes have been reformulated, we do recommend transitioning your dog gradually onto the new bag to avoid any tummy upsets.

It's especially important that you read the blog if you currently feed the Carnilove 'Fresh' Range, as these have been discontinued... 🙅🏼‍♀️ I know! 😭
(Chicken & Rabbit | Carp & Trout | Ostrich & Lamb)

⚠️ Please make sure you have at least 7 days of food remaining before you come to restock, so you have enough time to carry out a proper transition 🐾

We've put together a detailed blog explaining exactly what's changing, which recipes are affected, and how to transition your dog to the new range.

You can read the full blog on our website for everything you need to know 🐾 Just click the link below!

If you have any questions or concerns, please pop us a message or give us a ring ☎️

Thanks everyone! ❤️
