Quite a picky animal, I can safely say that dog sitting for a week once made me less of a dog person than I already was. Yes, she is an adorable Black staffie, but she's most cute when I don't have to feed her! The shop has all manner of dietary requirements covered, with both information on the signs and symptoms, ways to get tested, as well as all your foods and grooming needs. For those finding themselves lacking and in dire need of animal love. The Brunswick Community Pet Centre advocates Ethical Puppy Sales and can connect you with a breeder of the most adorable and loveable kind of pet just for you.

Ummm kittens!!! This store also doubles as a rescue centre with adorable kitty's hanging out at the back all vet checked ready to be taken to a loving home. I also spied a pet grooming area, where you have the option for the friendly staff to teach you how to DIY with their set up. Having good clean fun with your pooch without the mess and fuss at home - sounds like a win to me!

This vet cost me soooooo much money and literally didn't do a damn thing to help my pup…read more First round of tests I was told I needed to buy special food (off them of course) for kidney health, next round I was told I needed to buy special food for teeth health ... the time after that it was for bowel health. I never got to through any of these bags of food before I was advised to get a different one. Each visit I was made to believe that I was getting this huge discount which I was made to feel grateful for. But this place cost me a fortune . The receptionist was very sweet. But she directed me to give the wrong medication to my pup and I had to correct her. When I finally took my pup to another vet, they gave him the full bill of health. RIPPED OFF BY VERMONT SOUTH!!! absolute con!

This veterinary clinic has been there for years. If you've got a pet and you're local, you've…read moreprobably visited it at one time or another. They're really good with animals (as you'd expect) and their sometimes distressed owners. If you've got a cat or a dog that really, really doesn't like injections or taking tablets, they are really patient and understanding Sometimes, the best that a vet can do is to make sure that a really awful situation isn't any worse, and these guys and girls really genuinely care. I really recommend going to this vet clinic if you have an animal in need of medical attention or some advice.

Claws'N'Paws is such a great little pet shop, I hardly know where to begin…read more We went in one day to browse, buy some litter and food, and spotted an adult male for adoption by Animal Aid. What I love about this pet shop, is after a nice chat with the manager, we learned he refuses to display kittens or backyard breeder cats "for sale" and rather, helps Animal Aid with adult cat rescue adoptees that need forever homes. After meeting with little Dante, we adopted him and he has been the sweetest cat. They welcome dogs on leashes into their stores, cater to dogs, cats, birds and fish. They offer grooming and classes. They also offer some really good loyalty rewards for repeat business and you can tell they're passionate about pets and pet care. They have several business and pet industry awards and it shows. Another chain pet store has opened up across the street, so I hope that doesn't hurt Claws'N'Paws' business. If you're in the area, please go visit them!

I've had the pleasure of Dr Carolyn nursing my dearest 15& 1/2 year old Ragdoll through his last 2 years, where he very slowly wound down. And when it was *exactly* the right time she helped him just drift off. (I still miss him). But the clinic has been just as experienced and helpful with my new kitten - who is now 1! So for a cat at any stage of life, with any issue- even just a check up and vaccinations, I cannot recommend Melbourne Cat Clinic more highly!

The Knoxfield Vetinary Clinic located on Lynne Avenue in Wantirna South is an awesome place to take…read moreyour sick pets. I have been taking my dogs there for as long as I can remember and have always received exemplary service. There are currently four vets and six nurses on staff and they are always really friendly. They treat all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, rodents, guinea pigs and ferrets. They provide general check-ups as well as more generalized services like radiology, ultrasound and surgery. My dogs tend to love it because they get given treats from their favourite vet Dr. Kent Marshall. He has treated all three of my dogs over the years and always remembers my family when we turn up for various problems like getting the sock my dog swallowed removed from his tummy - yep, that was an embarrassing visit! The clinic has a yard around it where dogs can have one last toilet stop before their appointment and stretch their legs. Inside there is a waiting room, which gets pretty lively when there are a lot of pets. There are pet toys and accessories available for sale in here as well as pet food. Behind the counter is well stocked with various medications that you may purchase upon recommendation from one of the trusted vets. Vaccinated puppies aged between eight and sixteen weeks are eligible to participate in four-week long puppy school. At only $77 for a four week course taught by the really nice vet nurses this is awesome value and your puppy will have a heap of fun meeting the other dogs. Covered in colourful cartoon murals this place is really fun to go to as a kid and animal lovers will enjoy the short interactions with different kinds of pets in the waiting room. The clinic operates from Monday to Friday 8am - 8pm, Saturday 8am-3pm and Sunday 10am-12noon. They are closed on Christmas Day and Good Friday.

I have had to have much loved animals put down and their sensitivity and understanding is so genuine and they go out of their way to make sure they handle things in the best possible manner for me. We always see Mick Filkin but I have also seen Kent and they both have a wonderful attitude and are dedicated to the wellbeing of all animals. Thank you so much for the years of great care you have given my pets.

Mad About Pets has two stores only two shops apart on Ferntree Gully Road. They are open from…read more9-5.30 every single day of the year except for Christmas. (Public holidays they are open from 10-4). One store is dedicated to all things fish, birds and reptiles - including the live animals themselves. Prices here are really good and the animals are well looked after. The fish tanks are clean and the staff are really good at chasing down the exact specimen you want for your new pet. The second store is for kittens, puppies, small animals and grooming needs. They provide a grooming service here but I have never utilized that. While meandering around their pet toys you can hear the sound of puppies playing and kittens purring - nothing like the kind of pet store where the animals are asleep in tiny boxes. The staff are happy to let you have a hold or a play with the animals. In terms of pet accessories these guys have everything. Albeit groovy dog collars, piles of pet food, mirrors for your birdcage or all manner of fish tanks - you are bound to find it here. They even have a Do It Yourself coin operated dog wash in their store which is always a lot of splashy fun - depending on how well behaved your dog is. Lucky for owners of escape artists it has a reasonably tall gate that prevents your dog from jumping out. I recommend keeping the lead on just in case. This is a really great store for pet lovers and staff turnaround here is pretty slow so if you are a regular you will be greeted by name. Highly recommend this one.

I've used the dog bath at the back of the store a few times and it's really handy. The store has an excellent selection of dry foods and refrigerated meats plus loads of dog treats. Watch your dog if you're walking around the store with them - a little tempting! I've had to purchase a couple of treats unintentionally. I don't really go to the other part of the store with the birds and fish. I like that they now have pet adoption, which I think they have had for a while but I only noticed a few months ago.
