Lola (the dog) has been shedding fur like crazy all summer, so we also got her a de-moulting/de-shedding treatment. In total it cost $55 for all of this. The doggy spa is a big room out the back where all the dogs wait for their treatments, and then get spoilt rotten and pampered. Lola was a bit scared when we handed her leash to the girl, but when we returned an hour later, she was totally loving the staff and this place. There were lots of other dogs for her to play with too. The Pet Pad offers other services including Pawdicures (pedicure for the paws!), Pet Day Care (either a half or full day of toys, treats, games, soft beds, in-house movies and loads of snuggles, awwww), Dog walking, Pet sitting and even house calls! The owner Emma is a serious pet lover and offers a luxurious service for your pets. Lola came out smelling so clean and lovely!

Our pampered pooch seems to have trips to the "parlour" more than I do, but hey I'm not a hater…read more He's half poodle and gets a bit scruffy looking. Plus the hair that I think is so adorable falling over his eyes must really be annoying for him. A Google search for "dog groomer brisbane" led me to many a website but none of them quite made me feel comfortable in my decision to let them groom my dog as The Pet Pad. Knowing the suburb it operates in, I knew there'd be no way the pooches of New Farm and surrounds would continue to visit here if they weren't good at what they do. I dropped him off yesterday for a "feet, face and tail" grooming session and after showing the staff member a photo of past grooming disasters to demonstrate what I didn't want, I knew, from her facial expression, we were on the same page. Less than an hour later I was on my way back to pick him up. The grooming a success. He still looked like a dog and not an old man with mutton chops. But like Sun E said in her review, the price is so very reasonable for the service. I would have expected I'd be parting with a lot more for the quality of grooming he received. Plus he bounded out to the car happy as Larry. A win all round. See you in a few months, Pet Pad!

When she arrived she helped me with advice on what hair cut to do for a wee black puppy in summer and how to keep up with his regular brushing and nail clipping at home. She even let me hang out so I could get some tips on how to hold him when I brushed him. He's looking cute as all get out now and seemed to enjoy his little pamper sesh. We will definitely be booking in with Lee again.

Not a pet store, but a pet supply store. I like it!…read more It's big, clean and bright, staff are friendly, and chances are you'll find most anything you could ever want or need for most types of pets. This is sort of a new store. There was a similar shop here for many years, but new owners and a new look. They have a membership program for discounts and special deals, and you get some discount cards on signing up. I don't know, there's not a lot you can say about a place that sells your pet foods and supplies, but it beats going to a generic pet store, these guys have far more range. You can buy bettas (siamese fighting fish) here too, although there are other places I'd go for that in Brisbane.

We brought her into the store with us, and the staff were very friendly - giving her a cuddle and looking after her while we shopped around. We needed everything from cat food to flea treatments to scratchers and toys. A shop assistant walked around with us the entire time as we ticked everything off our list. She was very helpful and knowledgeable, making numerous suggestions for each item. We purchased a whole trolley full of products, as well as a large scratching tower, which the shop assistant helped us to carry to the car. I was very impressed that we were able to purchase everything we needed so quickly and effortlessly. I will definitely come here again!

Barnyard Babies is, quite literally, the most ADORABLE business idea ever. Think a miniature zoo…read morefull of utterly sweet baby farm animals (calves, lambs, goats, ducklings, piglets, chickens etc) set up in your own backyard! For my nephew's first birthday party, recently, my brother got Barnyard Babies to set up a "petting zoo" out the back of their house. It took me all my strength not to push various excitable toddlers out of the road so I could get to my favourite baby goat. (I totally bonded with him after he tried to eat my dress - I figured he had good taste). Most of the baby animals are orphaned (all together now: "awwwwww") and have been hand reared, so they're really comfortable with human contact. Hence they're not even slightly bothered by a bunch of squealing toddlers, nor various cooing adults. They're happy to let you pat them, rub their ears, tickle their tummies, talk nonsense to them and pick them up for a cuddle. There was even a pony for the smaller kids to ride. And at the end of the two hour "zoo" experience, some of the lucky adults at the party got to carry an animal each out to the truck. So I got to hold my favourite darling baby goat - who immediately put his little head on my shoulder and fall asleep. Which is so damn cute, I feel a tiny bit sick. In a good way.

Who could resist falling in love with every single one of the adorable baby farm animals hand…read morereared by Barnyard Babies? I've been lucky enough to have experienced their cuteness several times at a local childcare centre. The animals, apart from being completely lovable, are always totally unphased by a dozen or more children running around their sizable pen, grabbing them by the ears, the legs and various other parts of the body. They will out of their hands and placidly subject themselves to 'cuddles' that seem likely to squeeze the life out of them. The only animals to watch are the goats, who will occasionally try to eat some poor toddlers clothes off while he/she scream in terror. As well as providing hours of entertainment, the Barnyard Babies handlers clean up after themselves and there is never any residue or odour left when they pack up. They also do a fantastic programme for childcare centres and schools with chicken hatching. They provide an egg incubator, small see-through chicken pen and a dozen or so eggs that hatch within a couple of days to be seen by the kids. At the end of the several week period, families are able to buy the chickens to take home and raise or they go back to the Barnyard Babies home. It's a great way for the kids to see a life cycle in action and provide hands on learning.

We had our car washed on the weekend and afterwards we noticed the plastic cover for the side of…read morethe drivers door handle was missing. I spoke to the attendant and he identified by their photos that they take of the car before it goes through, that it was there beforehand so they looked for the part. They couldn't find it as the pits were full of water but were assured me that they would get back to me after they checked the pits in the afternoon but no one called. After a couple of days I tried to call but their number just goes to a voice message with no option to speak to anyone so I sent an email as they advise to. No one has bothered to get back to me about this. It looks like this company take no responsibility for the damage but we will be ordering a part then taking the invoice into them for reimbursement but no doubt they will try and get out of paying for it. It's a shame as we have always taken both of our cars there but will never be going there again.

I drove in and was forced into an automated queue and wasn't sure I was in the right place so I tried to call out to the bloke in front of me for assistance. It took 3 other staff members yelling out to him for him to even look up from his phone before he made his way over to me. He then walked over to me and I asked him politely what I had to do if I wanted my interior done as well as I had never used the service before. I had to repeat myself three times before he looked up from his phone at this point I was bewildered. He then replied hello I asked again in disbelief and his response "Are you Ok?" I then asked to speak to a manager he replied he was the manager I then asked to speak to the older guy managing a station so he just moved back to his original spot and started texting again. So I told him to forget it. On my way out I tried to raise my concerns with the bloke I wanted to speak to and he just said he will pass it on. Are you guys serious? I was a new customer wanting your premium product! All of this was captured on my dashcam and I will gladly share it with anyone who asks.
