Pet Accessories

Frequently asked questions

• What counts as pet accessories here?

  This range groups together the practical extras that make life with a pet easier: cages for birds, hamsters and small animals, carriers and strollers for travel, and safety gates for the home. Rather than beds or big housing, it's the kit that helps you house, transport and manage your pet day to day, with options for cats, dogs and smaller animals alike.

• What size bird cage do I need?

  It depends on the bird. Budgies, finches and canaries are happy in the smaller and mid-size cages as long as they can stretch and hop between perches, while parrots and parakeets need more room, so go for a larger model. As a rule, bigger is better for a bird's wellbeing. Check the dimensions on each product page, and look for an openable top and pull-out tray to make cleaning easier.

• Who are pet strollers for?

  Strollers suit older dogs who tire on longer walks, pets recovering from injury or surgery, and small or short-legged breeds that struggle to keep pace. They're also handy for nervous cats or taking a dog somewhere crowded. Your pet still gets fresh air and a change of scene without the strain of walking the full distance, and the rain covers mean you can still head out on drizzly days.

• Should I choose a pressure-fit or screw-fit gate?

  Pressure-fit gates wedge into place with no drilling, so they're great for doorways and rented homes and easy to move. Screw-fit gates bolt to the wall for a sturdier hold, which is the safer choice at the top of stairs. Pressure-fit is fine for room dividers and the bottom of stairs. Measure your opening first, as each gate fits within a set width range.

• Are the cages suitable for rabbits and guinea pigs?

  Yes, the small animal cages are designed for rabbits and guinea pigs, doubling as an indoor hutch and playhouse with a deep base for bedding. They give your pet a defined space to rest and feed. If your rabbit or guinea pig will also spend time outdoors, it's worth pairing an indoor cage with a run or an outdoor hutch.

• Do the strollers fold down for the car?

  Yes, the strollers are foldable, and some have a one-click mechanism that collapses the frame quickly, which helps when loading into a car boot. A few also have a detachable carrier you can lift out. If you'll be folding it often, look for one of the quicker-folding models. There's also a folding travel bag if you want something more compact.

• Can I use the gates to make a playpen?

  Some can. Alongside the fixed gates, the range includes freestanding multi-panel barriers and playpens, with some stretching up to 432cm to pen off a larger area or span a wide opening. They're useful for giving a puppy a safe zone or blocking off an open-plan space, and because they're freestanding, you can fold and store them away when they're not needed.

• How much is delivery and what's the returns policy?

  Delivery is free across the UK mainland, with orders dispatched in 3 to 5 working days and no hidden fees, so the total at checkout is what you pay. If you change your mind or order in error, you're welcome to return the item, though the return postage cost would be down to you in those cases. If anything arrives faulty or damaged, get in touch with the team and they'll put it right.
