How Firehouse Pets started

After being diagnosed with PTSD in 2010, Ian decided to go into business for himself. He has been in the aquarium industry since 2013. Since then, he's added more pet types and products to his repertoire and moved the shop to Lucan to expand and service the community he lives in with his wife.
