ANIMAL lovers have a new shop to treat their furry friends.

Pampurred Pets opened at 227-233 Preston Road last week and there will be a fun day for pet owners later in the month.

Manager Kelly Navas said: “Everyone is very excited about the new store. It’s been a lot of work but we’re getting there.”

The new shop will sell pet care products and a range of small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils and hamsters.

At their Family Fun Day, from 9am to 5.30pm on February 28, there will be face-painting, competitions and 10% of all stock for the day.

The first Pampurred pets store was opened in Dorset in 1981 and now they have more than 40 across southern England and Wales.
