Animal lovers have been relieved to discover that the Pet Shop in Wheelock Street is staying open. Nothing has changed because we provide an essential service, said Genna Bennett, who has been serving customers for more than 20 years. The shop has been here for 40 years and the current owners Mr and Mrs Owen took over the business seven years ago. We provide specialist dog and cat food that you can t get in supermarkets. People want to give their animals the best food which is what we try and do. We have a lot of loyal customers. The shop has served generations of families.
