The business has been established for 10 years and trades as a high street retailer and online supplier of pet related products, with a particular specialisation in aquatics.

It operates from retail premises in Hailsham, East Sussex and the turnover for the year ending December 2019 was approximately £1,600,000.
There is an experience team of three staff who are responsible for the majority of the day-to-day operations and the business.
