I have been in there however, buying things for my dog and fish. They do have a fantastic range of toys and clothes, dog beds, bird cages and fish. They also have some medications for dogs: Frontline, Advantage and several others. They get quite busy and have a lot of staff that say 'I'll have to ask someone else'. That's good if you have time to wait but not if you're in there on a Saturday morning and trying to get all your shopping done in a short time.

I would never, ever buy a pet from, or support buying a pet from a pet shop, for moral reasons…read more It's common knowledge now that the vast majority of pet shops are supplied by puppy mills, which are unregulated and carry out gross violations of animal rights routinely. So for this reason, I would never recommend a pet store. However, HOW CAN YOU NOT SET FOOT IN A STORE THAT HAS PUPPIES EVERYWHERE?! I certainly can't help myself. I, too, have felt the need to buy a puppy so it can roam free in my backyard rather than be cooped up in a glass cage.. but it's a temptation we must fight, for the greater good. Anyway, the reason I like Pets Paradise is that they have a vast range of pet products, from flea and tick killer, to adorable body-leashes and collars. They have a wide range of pet food, as well as balls and chewtoys for our furry little companions to amuse themselves with. That, and the salespeople are really friendly, and seem to be invested in the welfare of the animals they keep, as evidenced by the fact that they're regularly (and rotationally) taken out of their cages and allowed to run around in little pens set up in the store, with lots of toys to play with, and people to interact with. The best part of my day is playing with a puppy or three in one of those pens.

Kellyville Pets used to be an old shed that sold kittens, puppies and fish as well as bulk bags of…read moredog food. A few years ago they morphed into this glamorous building that cantains a vet, dog groomer, pet store and cafe. They have several full sized avaiarys on display in the car park, which is massive for a pet store (about 100 spaces). Go inside and there's everything you can think and some things you've never thought of - for pets. It's like a supermarket for your best friend and the best thing of all, the staff seem to know everything about pets and if they don't they know another staff member that does. They are also friendly! I had a problem with my dog barking, I was shown a selection of items and collars which could help, and they gave me the name of two local trainers in the area. I bought an anti-barking collar and also called one of the trainers - both worked and my dog doesn't bark needlessly anymore.

This store is focussed mainly on the supplies for pets, you know, kennels and bed and tanks and…read morefood and accessories and toys and the like, but not so much on the pets. The store stocks a basic variety of fish for sale, but that's about the extent of living stock in the store. As for other produce, the store has all the things mentioned above, and well as some pretty cool looing dog treats. For example, turkey necks. For some reason I'm always glad to see these types of doggie snacks in a pet store; if I had a dog handy I'm sure he'd love them. Until that day however, I'll just keep browsing dog treats and not buying them. Long story short, there are bigger and grander pet stores, escpeciallly if you're looking for new pet (this store should only really be fequented by those who already have a pet, and need only accessories). If you've already got a pet, it's a well stocked supply store for pet and animal goodies.

I had this place recommended to me by someone I met while we were walking our dogs in Hollis Park…read more(hi Sarah), and I brought my foster dog Coco in for a bath-and-dry to celebrate the day she went to her forever home. We arrived before they'd opened, but David invited us in anyhow and (after asking about allergies) started feeding Coco treats. BFFs 4 lyfe. I filled in some paperwork and then took myself off to nearby cafe Gather on the Green for a takeaway chai while I read in the park. David very kindly rang to let me know when Coco was ready to be collected. The store is designed so that there's a gated enclosed area that allows the dogs to sit on a bench seat in the shopfront window, so the first thing I saw when I walked up was Coco staring out at me and going bananas. David gave me her report card (and I'd like to take a photo of it and post it here as it's adorable but I left it in my housemate's car) - gold stars all the way! and he'd even written a very sweet message about finding her forever home and gave her a gift bag of chewy boney things. My emotions were very surface-y and he was really very kind and helped me pick out a toy from the huge selection to keep her occupied. These guys also run a group doggy day care if you need your dog looked after while you're at work or whatever - I wish I'd had the wherewithal to take advantage of it because I have no doubt that any dog would have a good time and be well looked after there. (The Facebook pics from the sessions are super cute.) Coco was happy to see me in a I've-been-having-the-best-time-and-I'm-so-glad-you're-here! kind of way. Unrelated to this review, on our walk home we went via the old Darlington school in the grounds of Sydney Uni and Coco realised a two-month-long dream when she managed to jump into the swampy moat part and thus destroyed all of David's hard work grooming her.

The RSPCA is a non-profit organisation which relies on funding from the Australian public in order…read moreto rescue and re-home animals which have been abandoned, neglected or abused. Minimal government funding is provided which is unfortunate as the organisation does so much for domestic and wild animals in Australia. They petition for animal rights and are actively involved in campaigns within Australia and abroad. The RSPCA's Sydney rescue centre is located at Yagoona. While it may be considered a trek for some, it is well worth the visit if you are looking for a dog, cat, rabbit, or even a horse! As an animal activist myself, I have adopted three animals from the RSPCA over the last 21 years and absolutely adore them! They all have had a funny character, personable and friendly nature and a love of family. Last year I adopted a cat from the RSPCA. I had been looking at their adoption site online and could search all the cats and kittens which were available for adoption in the Sydney region. I found a beautiful cat, but it was located in the Snowy Mountains. Despite this small setback, the RSPCA relocated her to their Sydney centre free of charge and I was able to adopt her within a few weeks! Adoption fees cost around $200 and include everything from vaccinations to the cost of purchasing the animal. The staff at Yagoona are all very friendly and have the best interests of the animals in mind. Ensuring a suitable match between owner and pet is a priority for them. There is even an RSPCA hospital located on site which is convenient for those who live close by. All the pets at the RSPCA are extra cute; we almost came back with a dog in an addition to a cat. Please keep in mind, if you are not in for the long haul, do not consider buying a pet.
