We would like to take the time to thank all of our customers who have supported us throughout 2020. The changes we had to implement as part of Government restrictions and safety measures was made easier by your support and understanding.
We ask those who are looking to visit our stores to be considerate of the lockdown measures and make their visits brief, avoid browsing and that they are visiting for the essentials only and that they adhere to the following safety measures.
Thank you from all of us at Scotsdales.

– Our staff toilets will be opened for customer use if demand requires us to.
– We are happy for your to bring your dogs into any of our three stores as long as they are kept on leads and under strict supervision. We ask that you are conscious of others around you and the required social distancing measures.
– Please note that some queuing systems have changed since our stores re-opened earlier this year. This is due to our continual monitoring of the best safety practises. We ask that you keep an eye out for informative signage and changes in store even if you have visited the store since our re-opening.
