A little bit about us
We began supplying to the pet community as wholesalers in Maiden Newton in 1989. A move to Dorchester town centre three years later triggered a change into selling directly to pet lovers. The new central location enabled people to reach us easily and also increased the speed of our delivery to all points within the county.
We are proud to continue as a family business with a team who care about the animals and support we offer. Our desire to provide top quality products, share our industry knowledge and provide the very best possible service is of paramount importance to us
Meet the team!
Nick
Nick comes from a long line of farmers on both sides of his family. This upbringing instilled a deep rooted love for all kinds of animals. With his dogs Gus & Willow which our apart of our Jack Russell Team here at Parkhouse
Nick enjoyed competing in triathlons (that meant a ridiculous amount of effort for an activity which is then multiplied three times to the point of collapse!), with one of his biggest achievements finishing Iron Man Lanzarote.
Jane
Farming runs through Jane’s veins. Working on a farm for years was a mere extension of being raised in that environment. She has been 'Mother Parkhouse Pets’ for over 32 years and loves every minute of her time working with customers and their pets.
Naturally, she loves all animals but has a special place in her heart for the famous ‘Parkhouse mascot’, a labradoodle called Molly. Jane also has a black cat called Max who gets on like a house on fire with Molly Dog (Labardoodle) & Dotty (Jack Russell).
Jane’s passion for animals and their care is what drives the team at Parkhouse Pets Supplies. What Jane doesn’t know about the pet trade isn’t worth listening to, but is still learning.
Laurence
A Dorchester man through and through, his life-long affiliation with the town and surrounding countryside is reflected in his love of walking. He’s also a pretty mean darts player (so he says) but this information has not been verified by a third party!
Laurence has been in the pet trade for over thirty-six years. His wealth of experience and knowledge is invaluable not only to our team, but also to the many customers who have grown to trust him over the years.

Animals a big part of his life! From Starting working with calves to breeding show rabbit & Guinea Pigs over the last 15 years.
