They don't…read moresell puppies or kittens which I think is the most important way of judging a pet store because pet stores that sell puppies and kittens not only support puppy farms and dodgy breeders, but also encourage the impulse purchase of an animal that requires a great deal of commitment. 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.

Then, behind the counter, there's a row of flea tablets lined up like cigarette packets. Glancing at the beer and tablet line-up, I felt like I was in the equivalent of a dream toy shop for dogs where they also sell beer and smokes. This large store sells an insane amount of toys for your pet. There's stuff for cats, birds, fish and other pets, but as I have a dog it was mostly dog-specific products I focused on. The dog selection seemed to take up a large proportion of the store, and there's even a dog (a surprisingly docile Chihuahua) that sleeps on the front counter. (He's six, called Louis, and likes pats but not being held.) Besides a huge selection of toys - so much you can't take it all in in one visit - there's other stuff to pimp out your pet, including a doggy clothing rack if your pet is that way inclined. The Pet Cafe also boasts a wide range of health foods for dogs, particularly those suffering from health issues (e.g. calcium deficiency, obesity - general medical issues that also seem common to humans). The store stocks both Science Diet and Advance food and health products. In terms of The Unhealthy, the front counter showcases an assortment of doggy cookies and chocolates (actually made of carob) that are home-made looking. They weren't as expensive as I thought they'd be, but I'd bought enough stuff here already. The counter staff were also incredibly friendly and chatty, which you'd gather from a business where there is a resident pet.

Katie in particular was just so kind and caring and full of great ways to help Snoopy settle in with us and gave us some samples of food to try him on as he's had been very fussy and nervous about eating. It's helped us a lot as buying a big bag of biscuits and him not eating any of them was a real worry. Look forward to coming back in a few weeks to show him off after we've washed him in his new shampoo and conditioner and we've figured out what he really does like to eat.

Have you ever been into a pet shop that didn't have puppies? Or at least kittens? It's like an ice cream shop with no chocolate, or a sushi place with no salmon. Luckily I soon located them and realised they had simply been hidden behind the Christmassy white spray all over the front windows. This isn't a very big pet shop, but it's adequate. They have a limited range of animals including guinea pigs and fish along with the requisite puppies, pet food and of course accessories. It's not the most exciting of its genre, but it gets the job done.

This is a nice little pet shop located within a very busy shopping mall. It's not very big but it…read morehas plenty to offer. The times I have been here I've seen puppies, little kittens, guinea pigs and an array of beautiful fish. The puppies, kittens and guinea pigs are located towards the front of the shop and the fishies are towards the back wall. The little pups are the front window cannot be seen by passer by's unless you walk into the store. I think this is a good idea as it might be stressful for the little guys to see lots of people coming up to them. However, having a front view of a paper plastered window does not make this store look appealing. They should consider replacing that. All in all though, the pups don't seem to be bothered and look happy and healthy. One thing I noticed here that I didn't approve of, was all the little children poking the pets and the shop minder didn't seem phased by it at all. I know parents have a responsibility over their children, but I should hope the pet shop staff would protect the pets from children who are stressing them out. Still, despite this, it is a nice little pet store with quite a lot on offer. Good range in toys and pet accessories.

It sits apart from the rest of the Centre, next to the Indooroopilly Laundromat. There is years of professionalism in this place and a busy stream of pooches going in and coming out with bling and fluff. They treat the animals well with respect and care. Affordable and friendly. You can just tell that the doggies love this place, maybe it's social too? Lots of cute accessories if you have the wee fluffy type of dog. :) Open 6 days a week and always busy near holiday times. Book in!! A great place.

From hay bales to poultry feed, they cater not only for the pampered domestic pooch (with a small range of Kongs, treats and such) but also for the suburban chicken coop. I stopped in here on a whim whilst on the search for a warm dog jacket for my pooch as they were conveniently located along Waterworks Road enroute to another appointment. While they have a range of dog and animal products, jackets were not one of them. Yet, if it's treats and bulk food that you're seeking, Mooey's will do the trick.

I scoffed…read moreat this initially but with almost weekly, sometimes bi-weekly visits, to our closest Petbarn store in Kenmore, I'd say whoever came up with that statistic was right on the money. Thankfully, like a lot of big warehouse type retail institutions, their purchasing capacity means discounts are passed down to us, the consumers. Petbarn is one of the cheapest pet supply stores we've found and there's always a great range available in store, plus the staff are readily available to give genuinely helpful advice about the best food for your pooch, and more. I'd also recommend signing up in store for their store rewards. You get a 20% off voucher when joining and they email you regular deals which can come in handy when, for example, you need to purchase Rovers regular food.

Yes, I'd rather see the little furry angels running around peeing on trees in a park than cooped up inside a Westfield as a window display - but I'm consoled by the fact that they seem to all get purchased quickly. So hopefully they end up living happy lives, running around various Brisbane backyards with devoted humans. There are other pets here too. Just follow the squawks and chirrups to the back of the shop, and you'll see the budgies, parakeets and other feathered friends. There's guinea pigs, fish and (bleurgh) rats too. And the accessories are to die for. Whether it's a pink fluffy scatching pole for your lady cat; soft, cosy beds for your furry friends to lay their weary heads down on; special shampoos; squeaky toys - it's all here. Just before Christmas they even had Xmas stockings filled with little toys and treats for your animal companions and even rawhide Xmas candy canes for your dog to get his teeth into (so he doesn't feel left out while you're all chowing down on ham, turkey and Christmas pudding). Awwww.
