Situated only ten miles south of Scotland, the city of Carlisle is also Cumbria’s county town. The modern Lanes Shopping Centre houses most of the multiple retailers seen in most city centres, with an excellent choice of independent smaller shops located nearby.
Pet owners are blessed with a good choice of shops and businesses that are specifically setup to look after their needs. Becky’s Cattery or Radmores Luxury Kennels are just two examples of Carlisle's popular holiday homes for cats and dogs.
Sick animals usually need quick attention and the Eden Veterinary Clinic in Kingstown Road is one of many vets in the region that offers a walk-in service. Exotic pet owners usually head off to Border Reptiles in Wigton Road where they sell live food, as well as a selection of snakes, spiders and amphibians. Whilst All4Pet is based in Carlisle and can deliver locally, most of their business is based in online sales of a huge selection of pet food and other pet products.
