Lifestyle Review: The PetShop.co.uk

Hello, hello. Today I'm sharing a rather different review. Last week was #NationalCatDay and knowing me to be a crazy cat lazy, PetShop.co.uk asked if I would be interested in receiving some goodies for my cat, Rosie. Having received an excellent box of treats, I thought it would be nice if Rosie shared her review with you all but since she's a cat, I'm posting this instead...

Rosie is 18 years old and is the most beautiful girl in the world (I'm sure every cat owner will say the same about theirs too). As you can imagine, I like to spoil her and nothing is too good for her and so when PetShop.co.uk offered to send her some premium treats, I was more than happy to accept. For those of you new to the service, PetShop.co.uk offer everything from food to grooming treatments and medicines, all available online for pretty much any pet you can think of. 

The box itself was addressed to "Rosie the Cat" which I thought was an adorable touch and I was really impressed with the products inside. Having had Rosie for 18 years, I've gotten to know the brands she does and doesn't like as well as the ones that are value for money. It was a lovely surprise then to see the box her usual food, x12 Felix pouches* and of course, Dreamies* which cat owners will know - is pretty much like crack for cats. They'll kill you for a bag of these.

Now, Rosie has never been a fan of chicken flavoured foods. She will straight up kill you for fresh meats, chips and cheese and onion crisps, but, for some reason she has always turned her nose up at chicken flavoured cat foods/treats. I was a little apprehensive when I noticed the Hills Ideal Balance Chicken & Brown Rice food* but surprisingly, she ate it all up. I had a chat with a fellow cat lover at work and it turns out that Hills is actually recommended by the vets as it provides a healthy yet balance diet (especially for mature animals) with zero additives. I thought that having been on the Go-Cat for years, a less sugary option may put Rosie off but she seems to be getting through that bag pretty fast. And that's a big-ass bag. It seemed to have certainly surpassed Rosie's diva mentality which she's developed in her old age.

The package also contained a toy. Rosie has never been a cat who plays with toys, especially now she's old, and instead finds great joy in the simple things in life such as knocking a full cup off a table , biting your toes or chasing a pen round the floor. She did however seem pretty intrigued by these Cat Tennis Balls*. I think because they are fuzzy, they attracted her and she did play with them, even if it was only for a little while before she took to sitting directly in front of the TV screen. Overall, I was super pleased with the service from PetShop.co.uk and Rosie seemed rather happy with her treats. I think the service is ideal for pet owners who don't always have the time to get to the store and also for those larger items that can be hard to carry home. 

All pet owners will also know that our animals are the most beautiful creatures until we try to take a photo of them and they become the devil and so, you can understand my lack of photos of Rosie. BUT Tell me about your pet! What do they like/dislike? Have you ever tried ordering for them from online? As always, I love hearing from you so please do leave your comments below. Thank you so much to PetShop.co.uk for sending these over,

Until next time animal lovers,
