Jollyes recently launched our Community Pet Clinic across 8 stores Northern Ireland. Helping the pet parents of Northern Ireland get incredible pet care, which is affordable too. Recent changes to laws made Cat Microchipping mandatory in England but have not been followed in Northern Ireland and today we are appealing to the Northern Irish government to adopt the same law. We will be hosting an event in Newry Jollyes on Monday 12th June supported by Almost Home Animal Rescue to raise awareness of the issue and help and support our customers and their pet
On Wednesday Jollyes were proud to throw a right royal paw-ty for the dogs of Southport. We were raising money for local dog rehoming charity Little Legs and were joined by dogs and their owners as we walked from the store to Southport market via King Street where the dogs were treated to a royal banquet as well as live music, games and their very own coronation chair! A brilliant day with lots of dogs involved.

A huge thank you all the team for all of their hard work in getting the store open and of course to our fantastic supplier partners.
With Coronation of the new King a few weeks away, we are pleased to release images of our own royal visit of which took place at Jollyes in Scunthorpe.

At Jollyes we believe in responsible pet ownership, with Easter in “hopping distance” we will stop the sale of rabbits between 6th and 11th April to prevent the risk of unwanted bunnies after Easter. This will apply to all stores across Jollyes.
