The Pet Experience - Pet Education Centre opened on 1st June 2007. For years we had been shopping at the normal pet shops/pet warehouses you can find in most towns around the country - and for years we were continually surprised at the apparent lack of knowledge and interest present in many of these stores. Yes, we got fed up with it! What's more, we decided to do something about it! That's the seed that launched The Pet Experience - Pet Education Centre. 

In 2009 we started our own brand of pet food called Easterbrook's. It is a premium hypo-allergenic petfood that is the same quality as foods such as Arden Grange, James Wellbeloved and Burns to name a few. However, as we get the food manufactured for us directly there is no 'middle-man' so we can sell the food to you at a much cheaper price than many other premium foods! On a 15kg bag of dog food this can mean a saving of as much as £20 when compared to some other foods as listed above. So if you have an average sized dog it could mean a saving of around £150 a year........and that's per dog for those of you with more than one! All this AND free delivery in the UK (excluding Highlands and Islands). Phone us or call in for more details.

At the centre we sell:

• dry and wet dog and cat food
• prescription dog and cat foods
• small animal/rabbit food
• all types of pet accessories such as leads, collars, beds plus training/behaviour aids like figure-8 leads & dog backpacks etc..
• A huge range of small animal hutches and runs all of which are kept indoors so when you buy it from us it is not weathered/damaged and will be rust free!  All that as well as free delivery in the Weymouth area.

Pet products and accessories, particularly food/nutrition can be a minefield. Many people think that pet food is pet food...it's all the same. Unfortuantely this is not the case. The differences between the various choices available is enormous. The impact of giving your pet the wrong type of food can be very serious. Allergic reactions and food intolerances are common. Often these are caused by foods that use poor quality or mixed ingredients such as the word 'Cereals' or the phrase 'meat and animal derivatives'. These headings cover many different ingredients such as Wheat and Beef to name but two. Both of these ingredients (as well as many others) are generally recognised as not being entirely beneficial to dogs. However with generic headings such as 'Cereals' you have no idea as to the exact ingredient make up of the food and thus cannot avoid these problematic ingredients.

Determining an intolerance is the first step, managing the intolerance is next - but with the right diet this need not be a problem. People often accept a poor, lack lustre coat as 'part of their pet growing old'. The development of eczema or poor dental condition is often dealt with as a symptom instead of effectively dealing with the cause of the problem. We are here to help people make the right decision when it comes to nutrition (or any other pet related matter). A decision based on facts and not on flashy television advertising!

We can talk you through ingredients, explaining the pros and cons of each. After all, what's good for one pet may not necessarily be good for yours. And if you like, bring your pet down....we'd love to meet them!

It's not just dogs and cats that we cater for though, we love our small furries too! We can teach you all you need to know about owning and caring for rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals, you might be surprised at what you may learn!

If it's training or behaviour work that you need then either read on or pop into the Centre to find out how we can help.
