After having some rather bad experiences with other boarding kennels, I stumbled upon Fido's. While…read morethey don't look overly fancy, Robert and Cheryl are great hosts and genuinely care for your fur kids. My dog was always reluctant to go away to a kennel, but since finding Fido's she's always been quite happy to go, she even runs up to Robert and Cheryl with a waggy tail! The dogs are kept in reasonable sized "rooms" and are let out to run around once (or maybe twice?) a day. If you have multiple dogs, you can have them share a room for a slightly cheaper rate. Their rates are pretty reasonable too. The cats stay in a different building, and also have their own little rooms to stay in. Fido's is open twice a day for drop offs and pick ups: 9-10am and 4-5pm.

The Pet Pad is total luxury for your pets! We took my sister-in-laws dog there for a Full Clip,…read morewhich is a hydro bath, shampoo, blow dry and brush, cleaning the ears and trimming the nails. 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!

Having moved to the area, the faithful pooch's care was recently transferred to Mitchelton Vets mostly due the their proximity. They're located on Blackwood Street and with on-site parking there's no need to worry about trying to find a street park. Much like doctors surgery, there's nothing too outwardly different than any other vet surgery and, much like a doctor surgery you hope you never have to spend a lot of time in them. On the two occasions I've taken our dog here, the team have been helpful, on-time and affordable. They'll even send your pet insurance claim on to your provider on your behalf.

But I would recommend just bringing a drink down, because with a slice of cake, and not many seating options in the cat area, it made finishing off the cake a bit awkward.

Looking to give a great home to a little puss cat that might not had the best of starts in life and commit to giving cuddles on demand? Well the Cat Cuddle Café is the place to go. You need to book online to visit as the owner, who is super passionate about rescuing and rehoming cats, ensures that the cats are not over stressed by having too many people visit, in addition to ensuring the small numbers per hour timeslot enable you to get some quality cat time. Located in Red Hill Brisbane the little café entrance leads you downstairs to the reception area. When you arrive you are greeted and check-in and then ask to read and agree to some rules................simple rules like: wash you hands before and after you visit the cats, leave sleeping cats to snooze in peace, no loud noises that could scare the little fluffy wanabe Lion cubs. Due to Australian Health and Safety requirements the barrister is located in the reception area which is catless and you can order up your favourite coffee and can take this into the cat lounge. You can view the cats whilst you wait for your timeslot to start and you can see that the lounge is a real cat space. Cat toys, beds, tunnels, a cat running wheel and I even found a mini cat tent make this space cat heaven. There is also an outdoor area too where the little ones can bask in the sun and get some fresh air. When I visited there were a range of cats, some very lively kittens in addition to some very relaxed older cats who seemingly preferred to bask in the sun and watch the kittens do 100m sprints than bother to lift paw and partake in any exercise whatsoever. There is a cat profile wall in the cat lounge so you can look up the names of your favourite fur ball in addition to seeing their friends who have found new homes. There is a table and sofa to take a seat at but be careful you don't disturb a resting cat who may have already claimed a chair for themselves. All in all this is a rather lovely business that is really focused on helping rescue cats find great new homes. So if you are on the hunt for a cat why not visit Cat Cuddle Café to find your perfect feline partner? It is only $10 per person per visit for up to 1 hour and you really get to see the personality of the cats and can chose one that will best get on with you. "Dogs have owners, cats have staff." - Unknown (but feel free to attribute it to me!) Not looking for a cat right now.........well just drop by and have a cat fix. Just by visiting you are helping the company raise money enabling them to continue to rescue and provide a great temporary home for cats looking for new staff to serve their every need!

The staff at Petbarn are knowledgeable and helpful, and are all animal lovers with lots of experience in pet care. The range of fish and aquarium products here is excellent and they have staff dedicated specifically to helping you establish and maintain your own aquarium. Another thing I like about Petbarn is that pets on leads are welcome, so if you need to get your dog a new collar for example, you can actually bring them in to see what fits (and you can count on them getting cuddles and treats from the staff as well!). Petbarn has a wide variety of pet products including foods, grooming products, accessories, toys, and treats. They also sell some medications such as worming and flea treatments. The staff here are happy to consult with you about whatever pet advice you need. Many times I've come into Petbarn to seek advice about my fish tank and have had a long, helpful conversation with a staff member and then gone home without needing to buy anything because the staff don't push you to buy things in return for their help. For this reason, whenever I need to buy anything for my dogs or aquarium, I head to Petbarn. They also have a customer loyalty card and lots of information about obedience, puppy pre-school, and other pet activities.

Weird. In truth, what I think they're trying to convey is that they have a comprehensive range of pets, animal accessories and pet food as well as the know how to match. Having checked out their store and bought a couple of tetras as a gift for a friend's aquarium I'd have to agree. And before I go on to catalogue the impressive animal inventory on offer I'd like to point out that these guys do not support the ethically dubious practice of 'puppy farming' that some other bigger chains do, instead adopting out cats and dogs (not necessarily the cute juvenile ones) from animal welfare groups in an admirable not-for-profit venture. Kudos guys... OK, public service message aside these guys have: birds, fish, cute as a button baby turtles, lizards (blue-tongues, various 'dragons'), snakes and even pet insects. That's right, INSECTS ( I spotted some very interesting and well camouflaged leaf insects for sale)! Their range of healthy pet food has equal 'wow' factor. There are heaps organic meats and bones for your dog, even vegetarian equivalents of old favourite pet snacks like the vege pig's ear. If you're looking for a new animal friend, or a gift for your current one, you can't go wrong with Pets Unleashed.
