Perfect Aquatics is one for our more exotic-loving visitors. They specalise in reptiles, invertebrates and avian species, with the majority of the shop floor dedicated to, not shockingly at all, aquatic pets. However, 'Animaltastic' is located within Perfect Aquatics, and has a nice selection of dog treats, outerwear and toys. It's worth noting that dogs are not allowed in some of the shop, so make sure to confirm when you get there!

The Paw Store, Baldock
Perfect Aquatic / Animaltastic, Henlow
The Paw Store, Baldock
'The Paw Store' is a relatively new arrival to the area, but the locals highly rate the independent shop. Inside, there are treats-a-plenty, toys, and accessories to deck out the doggos. They also have their own grooming salon! This shop also stays in the 'natural treat' lane, a healthy and safe alternative to many mainstream treats offered by some stores (*cough* rawhide *cough*). The owners are pet lovers just like you and me, and might even sneak out some extra treats in the event of emergency puppydog eyes!
