Coletta & Tyson's relaunched pet shop sets high standards



Coletta & Tyson Garden Centre in East Yorkshire has relaunched its pet shop, 4pets, with state-of-the-art repitle and aquatics sections plus a small animal island.

“We have worked so hard to make sure our new pet department is efficient, innovative and a great place for customers to come and spend their time," said marketing manager Lauren Cocks. "The feedback so far from the customers has been great."

Alongside the animals and fish, 4pets has an extensive range of feed and care items for pets new and old. There is a large range of branded food and treats as well as everything a customer may need to train and keep their pets happy. .

From the Oasis Café, customers can see into the aquatics section and view the selection of marine, tropical and goldfish. The aquatics specialist can assist customers with their new or current tanks, and can provide a home water-testing service to check the tank has the right conditions for the fish. 

Within the reptile section, customers can find snakes, lizards, tortoises, frogs and toads, salamanders, tarantulas and spiders, stick insects and even various species of invertebrates. They can also ask questions of a specialist staff member, who is passionate about the creatures he cares for.

Since 4pets opened the garden centres has worked with the local college to provide work experience and apprenticeships for students on their Animal Management course. The students add to the team of seven staff who are all experts in their areas.
