  Excellent and friendly service. I have never been disappointed and every time I went I found what I needed, whether it is for my hamster or more lately dog. The owner always has good advice and is clearly passionate about animals. Prices are very, very reasonable for a small pet shop and sometimes cheaper than major pet supermarkets. I don't understand how people would be disappointed by the place, unless you don't understand the meaning of local shops or you expect Disneyland.

  I really don't want to be mean, but I can't understand how this shop has so many stars? Maybe it's because there are not a lot of pet related shops in Edinburgh so the locals like it? Me and my boyfriend were very disappointed. It's small, I would call it a kiosk really. The products were nothing out of the ordinary, I had seen similar stuff in food stores, like Sainsbury. The lighting was horrible too, made the store look unclean which is was not. We learned our lessson, never to take online reviews to heart. As a tourist, we want to warn other tourists not to bother with this store. It contains no fun or unique items, but the main stream stuff you can find in food stores.

  Capital Pets provides a fantastic service. If they don't have it in stock, they will order it. If you need some advice, they can provide it. Donald is passionate and knowledgeable, friendly and obliging. I got my first dog five years ago and have been a loyal customer ever since. Now I have two and they love going to visit the shop. Considering the size of the shop, there is a pretty big range (as I say above, they can order just about anything that they don't have on the shelf and have it delivered in a few days), and things are extremely reasonably priced. If I shop elsewhere, I inevitably feel a little bit guilty now, but more importantly, I invariably find out I get a worse deal.

  I really like this wee shop. Considering it is so small, it stocks a large variety of goods, and the owner is knowledgable and passionate about pets, particularly cats. I spent a while asking his advice on feeding my kitten, he was happy to discuss the pros and cons of the food I currently use (which he doesn't stock) and to suggest others which he might be better with in the future. He has a good range of toys, bowls, accessories (brushes etc) all at really reasonable prices, and is one of the few places I've found that stocks natural cat litter and hypoallergenic food - perfect if you have a pet with delicate health. The only thing I'd say is that - like the other reviewer says - it's a shame he doesn't do a late night opening one evening to pop in on the way home from work.
