Bartlett Avis 4

We really appreciate our local Bartlett tree expert. He has advanced degrees in his field, is courteous, always on time, and full of great advice. Also, they have a great crew of conscientious young men - all Americans and legally hired. On the backend, it is easy to setup your account and pay bills, and even setup automatic billing online. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

Number of plants died off in our gardens, at the boundary, in 2024. Coincidentally at the same time as next door neighbours removed all the ivy around their property. We required a knowledgeable expert soil and plant analysis person to view the plants and give expert evidence as to what had killed the plants including 30 year old forsythia, climbing roses, honeysuckle, hydrangeas, lilies, magnolia, azaleas etc. His conclusion... drought in 2024???? Plant experts advised the cause was undoubtedly spray probably glyphosphate but to get plant and soil samples to confirm. Bartetts failed dismally even describing a magnolia as lilac.

Bartlett Blandford Country Stores, Blandford. Higher Shaftesbury Road, Blandford Forum, Dorset DT11 7EG.
I arrived today at the store, parking in the car park, walking to the back of my car and placing my Certified Assistance dog on a lead. Before I could take two steps, a female assistant came out of the store and informed me that my dog was not allowed in the store!!
I enquired why. I was informed my dog sniffed a customer on the previous visit. There is a sign on the front door saying dogs are welcome on a lead.
I explained that dogs are allowed in the store, and all dogs sniff.

Then she said my dog was not allowed because another dog had made a mess in the store. I replied that it was not my dog who made the mess, where is the logic??
The manager came out of the store and told me to leave my dog in the car and go and purchase my items in the store. Despite there being a sign on the door stating that dogs are allowed on a lead.

I pointed out that there are other country stores in the area, and I do not need to use Bartlett's. I left Bartlets and purchased the dog food in Viney's on the A31. Viney's also sells solid fuel. I live between Viney's and Bartlett Blandford. Viney's being slightly closer.

When I started using Bartlett in September 2024, all was fine, letting my dog into the store, and the staff were friendly and played with my dog. Then that other dog made a mess, and a sign was placed stating dog must be on a lead. I followed the request.
From September to the following March, I spent £400 per month on solid fuel, and I purchased 2 bags of dog food every month. Plus, I purchase plant pots, bags of concrete, Kilner jars, plus other items.

I followed Bartlett's rules and was denied entry.
