Great design and quality

I am very happy with the quality and design of the products I have bought for my chickens. They seem to truly care about pets! Fast shipping and a great experience shopping on their website.

Great company, lives up to reputation

Omlet was recommended by a friend in the US and they did not disappoint. The bed is now our 11yo cat's favourite and she comes and asks to play with the star on a string, like she was a kitten. Fair prices and the shipping was fast, I didn't need customer service but I trust that if I had they would be responsive. Looking forward to a catio next!

Fantastic customer service

Automatic door control panel became faulty and Omlet sent out a replacement immediately. Also provided free postage to send faulty one back (which we didn’t have to do until we got the replacement installed).
Fantastic customer service from very helpful staff - a bit of a rarity these days.

Black Friday 50% off is VERY misleading

Thought I would get a second automatic door for a second chicken run so looked at the BLACK FRIDAY OFFERS of up to 50% discount.
I bought an automatic door and attachment kit for £181.65 (including Promotional Code Saving of -£9.25 and postage of £5.90) in January 2023 just over ten months ago. Today the exact same product is listed as £227.00 but with the BLACK FRIDAY 20% off the total comes to £187.50 (including the Black Friday discount of -£47.40 and postage of £5.90). This is more than the price I paid 10 months ago.
Decided not to buy as it doesn't feel at all like a BLACK FRIDAY discount. Am very disappointed!

Hi Denise,

Thank you for your review.

Omlet is always trying hard to offer the best price to our customers. Due to inflation and increasing costs in the supply chain, however, we have had to adjust our prices.

We are sorry to hear that you have not found a suitable discount for you during our 2023 Black Friday sale.
Our offers vary throughout the year. I would recommend for you to sign up to our Newsletter if you have not done so already, so that you can stay up-to-date with our future promotions. Moreover, I would advise you to follow our social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, X, Youtube and Pinterest), as exclusive offers are sometimes available via these channels.

Thank you for your understanding,

Yours,
Clémence

Disappointed

Spent a small fortune (for us) on a topology bed with a bolster topper, added also a quilted topper which we use more frequently. This was in April. The bolster cover had been washed only a handful of times, always gentle and 30 degrees wash. The last time it came out of the wash in October, the stitching had come undone where bolster joined the quilt. I work during the day and cannot be on the phone so emailed info@omlet with a photo of the fault. Received the standard auto reply saying that it would take up to two working days for them to get back to me. It has since been radio silence for two weeks. I even tried the WhatsApp chat to receive similar auto response. And still no joy. In the meantime, I have hand sewn the cover back on but doubt it would survive few more gentle washes. I had expected much better from Omlet given the prices of the products. The dog, by the way, loves his topology bed.
*Update:
Lucy got in touch a couple of days (today) after my WhatsApp message and organised for a replacement to be sent and replied very swiftly my follow up questions. However, there was no sign of my original email apparently so I sent screenshots of that email and of the auto response received. I had contacted the customer service a few months back enquiring dimensions of dog beds to which, I received a response a week later, way longer than the “aim” of a couple of working days. Please do better, Omlet!

Hello,

Thank you for your updated review.

I am glad to see that you got in touch with Lucy to resolve your enquiry.

We always aim to reply to your queries as quickly as possible. Nonetheless, we value quality as much as we value efficiency. It is indeed crucial for us to provide comprehensive responses to our customers and to ensure that their queries are fully resolved. This means that we may take longer than usual to reply during sales periods for example, when the number of queries that we receive is higher than normal.

Nevertheless, we understand that no product nor company is perfect so your feedback is extremely valuable to us and we are always investigating ways to improve the quality and efficiency of our services.

Thank you for your understanding,

Kind Regards,

AVOID at all costs!

In many ways, innovative, to quote themselves. Dumb as anything when it comes to the basics of placing such a setup in your garden …. Which shares the same area with the common rat! We have spent a fortune with this company in providing a setup within a children’s day nursery, boy, do we now have a problem of infestation, we have potential disease everywhere, we are taking steps to remove all equipment, why?, because the rats can ‘easily’ get through the mesh as it it is far to coarse for the purpose in which it is exposed too. Classic case of a designer not getting out there and truly evaluating the need, or, not listening after all this time to the people that have invested in what is a cleverly marketed product ! All that glitters is not gold ! AVOID AVOID!!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your feedback.

Due to several factors such as their collapsible skeletal structure, soft skull, flexible body structure, behavioural adaptation, size and agility, rats are able to fit into openings as small as 1/2 inch for adult rats and even smaller for juveniles.

While the strong materials and thought out design make it extremely hard for predators to get to your pets, no run is 100% predator proof.

If you live in an area with lots of predators, including smaller animals, you might want to consider adding additional protection to the run.

The dimensions of the mesh are indicated on the product page, enabling you to make an informed decision. In addition, our friendly team is available on the phone and by email from Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:30pm to answer any additional question that you may have before finalising your purchase.

To get rid of a rat infestation, an external solution would be necessary. We would also recommend to take away the food source, as this is what they are after. It is important to keep all feed in a secure, air-tight bin, and to avoid throwing corn on the ground.

We stay at your disposal for any further information.

Yours,
Clémence,

Highly Recommend

Delighted with our Boughton chicken coop from Omlet. Delivery was a challenge but only because it was a gift and essential it arrived by specific date. We contacted Omlet & spoke to Janni who could not have been more helpful and sorted everything. Couple of unfortunate issues with the coop however once again Omlet went the extra mile and replacements were promptly sent. Great to speak to Janni again who gave us fabulous practical advice on chicken keeping - thank you Omlet for truly delivering an excellent service.

Poor quality material in dog beds

Bought a Topology bolster bed for my dog which I received mid August 2023. Quite happy with the product on set up however within one month three holes had appeared in the material where the bolster section joins the blanket section. Contacted Omlet who provided a replacement.

This morning, less than 2 months after setting up the bed for the first time I see the material is coming away between the blanket and the bolster section in the replacement cover. I doubt it will last a few more weeks. On the positive side, my dog finds the bed very comfortable.

My dog previously had a much less expensive bolster bed for 3 years with no damage to the cover. He does not dig in his bed and is generally very gentle on his toys etc.

Really disappointed by the quality of the materials used. I have had Omlet products in the past for chickens and small animals that were excellent so I trusted the brand.

Buy if you want a rat infestation

The eglu alone is ok for one rabbit or one male guinea pig or a couple of female guinea pigs. It's too small for two male guineas and causes them to fight. Too small to fit two average rabbits. The runs available do not protect the animals against predators, worst of all the gaps are the perfect size to allow rats right in. I wouldn't purchase this unless you wish to have a rat infestation. Customer service have provided no support whatsoever. Overall a poor product and a poor service. Won't be wasting anymore money with them. Wouldn't use their products even if they paid me to.

Hi Olivia,

Thank you for your feedback.

There could be many reasons why your two male guinea pigs are fighting, not necessarily linked to the type of hutch that you bought.
For example, when two male guinea pigs are introduced to new or enlarged spaces, they need to work out “who’s the boss” again.
This will often start a lot of bickering, rumble-strutting, nipping, etc. And of course, this aggressive behaviour can lead to fall-outs.
To avoid this, we would recommend to wipe down the new housing and the cage with bedding that smells like them and toss it into the new cage. Just save the bedding from the carrier that has their mingled scents and rub it all over everything.

It is equally important to understand that the hutch itself is too small to be the only living space for guinea pigs and rabbits and they should never be kept in with the door closed for long periods of time. They should have access to larger spaces regularly.

While the strong materials and thought out design makes it extremely hard for predators to get to your pets, no hutch is 100% predator proof. Check the hutch and run regularly to make sure all features are working as intended, including latches, doors and run clips.
If you live in an area with lots of predators, including small ones like martens and weasels you might want to consider adding extra protection to your run.
Unfortunately, rats can squeeze through holes as small as an inch in diameter, thanks to their flexible bodies and collapsible skeletons.
Finally, all the mesh spacing dimensions are indicated on our website, allowing you to make informed decisions. Our team is also available from Monday to Friday, by phone or by email to shed light on any question or doubt that you may still have before placing your order.

We hope that this advice will help and we stay at your disposal for any further information.

Kind Regards,
Clémence,

Definitely worth the effort

The assistance we got with pacing our order and what we needed to get was exemplary. There was a hiccup in the delivery which was not their fault and the carrier did rectify it the following day which was very important to us. Assembly could have been helped by much clearer identification of the various panels because the catio came in 19 different packages and working out which panel was which was sometimes trial and error. The end product is excellent and just what we wanted.

Great customer service post sales

I was missing a part in my delivery (It happens). Pinged over an email at about 9pm, got a response around 8am the next morning. Problem solved two emails later and new part shipped. Super helpful and efficient - it's always when stuff goes not to plan you see how good a customer team is.

Poor customer support and product.

Bought multiple eglus from them and the eglu is good but difficult to clean. The run is not safe as rats can get in still. Contacted omlet to tell them this as they state they are safe which is a lie. They basically said they won't help. Stupidly overpriced for a poor product. I would recommend avoiding them.

Edit after reply:

The site stated it would keep animals safe. So we trusted that based on how expensive it is. The food is securely stored and nothing has got to that, but it is an awfully designed product if rats can easily enter and get into the eglu. If there was actual thought put into the design then there would be much smaller gaps that would stop anything getting in. Another awful response from an awful company unwilling to help.

If you live in an area with lots of predators, including small ones like martens and weasels, you might want to consider adding extra protection to your run.

Unfortunately, an average sized rat can squeeze through small holes as tight as 1 inch (25mm) wide. Smaller rats could even fit through small holes 20mm wide. How big of a hole can a rat fit through will depend on the size of their ribcage and head.

In addition, dimensions including mesh spacing dimensions are indicated on the products pages, to provide you with the necessary tools to make an informed decision.

The most effective solution our customers find for eliminating a rat problem is taking away the food source, as this is what they are after. We would recommend taking your chicken's feed in at night, keeping all feed in a secure, air-tight bin, and to avoid throwing corn on the ground.
