The beginnings
The Concept
Wildwood Pets, although had many names to start with from Creature HQ to Positive Pets, had one goal - be different. After many years of working in and shopping in pet stores up and down the country they tend to blurr into one of two categories. Big and heavy with cheap products and bulk buys or small and quaint with quailty products but cramped and lacking range. So could you build an independent pet store that is spacious, filled with quality products and have character? Well we are trying to.
The Directors
Thomas & Laura
Like any good story this is love story, between one woman and her dog... the husband is around somewhere too. Thomas & Laura met whilst he was studying Zoology and her Animal Science at Newcastle University. Thomas went onto work with wildlife charities, do educational presentations at a zoo, teach Animal Management at a college and work with many pet shops. Laura worked in vet practises, volunteered at dog charity training centres and is a qualified Clinical Canine Massage Therapist.
More important than all that is they are pet owners. With more animals sharing their home than they care to admit, and almost all not their first home, they are passionate pet people. They are very particular what they give to their own pets, and therefore very selective with the ranges they hold in store. Only products they would be happy to give to their own animals goes onto the shelves.
