We’re here for your new pet journey. Please find below a general care guide for each animal to assist with settling in your new pet, along with a gentle reminder of the daily and general commitment required. We are not vets, but we are always happy to assist and recommend specialist vets and products if needed.
Feel free to reach out at any point along your pet journey with questions, concerns or anything you need. Our team at 684 Botany Road, Alexandria are here 7 days a week — in store, over the phone or via social media.
“Education is key when committing to a new animal — the more you know before they come home, the better the experience for both of you.”
Follow us on social media for current livestock and rehomers in store, training tips and tricks, and educational content to help you along your pet’s journey.
