Phil & Bev Petpals Chelmsford (1)

We also cover: Chelmsford East and Chelmsford West


My name is Phil and together with my wife Bev, own the franchise for Petpals Chelmsford Maldon & Danbury.

The original business was launched in 2004. Bev joined Petpals in 2011, and I joined in 2013. Before Petpals we both worked in various industries, but we’re loving the change to the outdoors life and the opportunity to work with such a variety of pets.

We have owned cats, dogs, Guinea Pigs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils and tropical fish. Since we’ve been working at Petpals we’ve also cared for ducks, chickens, parrots, fish and several exotic pets.

We have a small dedicated team of mature carers and can offer a fully personalised and professional service.

Please contact us to chat about your requirements.
