Here at Armitage Pet Care we cater for pets of all shapes and sizes. We know just how important pets are, so we want to spoil them just like we do our own!
Take a Walk in Our World
With over 50 years of experience, Good Boy knows just how important it is for your fur-family to enjoy oodles of playtime, a full tummy and lots of cuddles.
At Meowee! we know how picky our feline friends can be, which is why we've developed a selection of irresistibly good cat treats in a variety of textures and yummy flavours as well as lots of fun toys to keep them (and you!) entertained.
We strive to be the best team in pet, and our core values reflect this.
Flexibility
I will adapt in order to meet the needs of my customer to get the best results.
Integrity
I’ll always do what’s right in my job, respecting others and trusting that they will do the same.
Responsibility
I take ownership and pride in my job because it’s mine and I’m the best person to do it.
Succeeding as a Team
I’m an important part of my colleagues and businesses success.
A strong history, and an exciting future.
