The former mining town of Barnsley has undergone much redevelopment, but there is still a thriving retail scene both in the main city centre and in out-of-town complexes. Luckily for the residents, several independent Barnsley pet shops remain - and these include Linda’s Pet Supplies in Laithes Lane, The Pet Shop in Darton and Paws & Fins in Elsecar. Numerous veterinary practices are dotted around the town and a whole host of supporting animal services such as grooming, training and catteries are plentiful.
The Waggy Tails Store is located just outside Barnsley. They have a comprehensive website that sells many different pet accessories to customers around the UK, as well as a mobile trade stand that visits local fairs during the summer season. Animal Snap & Tack in Mappelwell specialises in regular pet food as well a good choice of food for wild animals and birds.
