About Us

Surrey Pet Supplies first opened it doors to the public in July 2003.   It has been a phenomenal success since day one and continues to grow at an amazing rate.

 

Since the business was first opened we have moved several times, now with us being located in a 16,000 sq. ft. warehouse style building. The advantages of this is we are able to hold vast array of products as well as being able to offer free customer car parking and carry to car service.

 

The business is owned and run by Tracey Skelton and Mark Sherren who themselves have been animal lovers for many years

 

At the present time we have 4 dogs called Bella a Miniature Poodle (aged 2), Sky a German Shepherd   (aged 3), Twix a Border Terrier (aged 5) and Spike also a Border Terrier (aged 7).

Tracey is a fully qualified E-SQP so she is able to advise customers on all their flea and worming programmes for both dogs and cats as well advise on dietary matters. She is also an A.C.A.I. (Agility Club Approved Instructor) and regularly runs indoor agility classes at our venue. Most weekends during the summer she can be seen competing her dogs at Agility Shows all round the country.

 

Mark has been over the years the contract Dog Warden for Elmbridge Borough Council where he dealt with all breeds of dogs in different circumstances.

 

For many years he volunteered to play a “criminal” for police dog handlers while they were training their dogs which gave him a real understanding of how loyal a dog can really be.

 

He was also a member of Staines and Laleham Dog Training Club and during the summer months they attended school fairs and fetes and put on dog displays.

Mark for many years ran the Molesey and Thames Ditton Dog Training Club with Peter Carloss and also instructed at many more clubs in the borough.

 

Some people will know Mark best for K9 pet care which he ran for over 10 years which dealt with taking care of over 50 dogs per day as well as working for social services and many vets.

 

We are now very pleased to be working very closely with our vet Darren Partridge (Molesey Veterinary Centre) who looks after both our dogs and our animals that we have at our store (see Our Animals page).

 

A few years ago some people will remember our 200+ animals we had and the way that the local people nicknamed it “Hersham Zoo” which was an Education Centre and also took part in the animal badge for all the local brownie groups as well as taking some of the animals to local schools on fete days.   We had everything from a leopard gecko right up to a giant 7 foot Argus monitor as well as over 16 parrots and lots of fluffies as well.
