An honest word
An honest word about the drive from Haverhill
About 32 minutes each way is a real commitment, and we'd rather say so. Looking for a pet shop near Haverhill for everyday supplies? Something closer to home may do the job. But if you want a specialist pet shop near Haverhill, where you can see the animals in person and talk a plan through, the drive is worth it.

One trip, many jobs
Make one trip do several jobs
A round trip of about 40 miles deserves a proper list. Pick your jobs, then read the page for each.
Our suggestion: do the specialist jobs first, such as a marine order, a reptile question or a koi query, then finish with the everyday shopping. It's easier to carry shopping to the car than to remember a question you forgot to ask.
Before you set off
Make the longer drive count
Ring 01284 703418 before you leave. Stock changes, and a 40-mile round trip is plenty of reason for a call. If you're after marine fish, we can order in from TMC's range, so tell us what you have in mind.
Check the hours too: 9:30am to 5:30pm Monday to Saturday, 10:00am to 4:00pm on Sunday. For bank holidays, check our Facebook or call.
Planning a tank, pond or vivarium? Bring the measurements and a note of what already lives there. Guesses make for wrong answers.
A long drive and a live animal make a poor mix with a rushed decision. Read up at home, write your questions down, and be ready to walk away if it isn't right. We'd rather you got it right than bought on impulse.

Is it worth driving from Haverhill for one item?
If it's one specific animal or product, ring 01284 703418 first and we'll tell you what's in. Stock changes, and we'd hate you to drive 20 miles for nothing. A two-minute call can save a 40-mile round trip.
