Here at Pet City we have a range of weather resistant coats, pet lights and shoes to help keep your pet safe and comfortable during their winter walks. Being that we all tend to get a little bit lazier when the weather is dreary, the weight does tend to sneak on the waist line a bit quicker in the cold. Have you considered popping your pet onto a reduced calorie diet for this time of year? If you pet isn’t using the same amount of energy as what they would in the summer months, they will start to store it and turn into tubbies! Pop in with your pet and have a chat with our friendly staff about maintaining a healthy weight for your pet this winter!

After a crazy day at work it always tops it off to come home and find your Fido friend in his newly dug trench. Little do most pet owners realise is that whilst you have been out all day, he has been at home BORED and craving something to do. Most of the time dogs dig to satisfy boredom ( or find that treat they buried 8 months before hand).
There are a few things that we can do to help your pet stay mentally stimulated whilst we are away. Toys are vital!! Try changing your dogs existing toys by filling them with different flavoured treats, pop them in the freezer and rotate between a selection of toys each day so he isn’t seeing the same ones day in and out. Kongs, Busy Buddy, squeaky toys, balls and even his very own play sand pit are all wonderful tools that can be used to keep your dogs mind busy.
Repellent sprays and granules are available to help keep pooch out areas and pot plants.
If pooch is being a real problem then there are devices that, with training, assist in saving your beloved garden beds. Feel more than welcome to come in and have a chat with our team about different ways of helping your dog get through each day whilst your away!
Here at Pet City we would like to wish everyone a happy and safe long weekend!
With chocolate all around us, we would also like to remind pet owners about the danger of your dog consuming cocoa products. Chocolate is potentially toxic for dogs. Keep your Eggs high and enjoy your treats yourself!!
Designer dog label PUPPIA has just arrived in store! With a fantastic range of harness’ and fashion, PUPPIA has something for every spoilt little pooch.
To ensure your reptile glows with health, it is very important to keep their UV globes / tubes current! Even though the globes are illuminating doesn’t not necessarily mean they are emitting the required UV rays if they have been in use for over 12 months. Without the proper UV lighting, your reptile may not be able to digest and utilise their food properly. Over time this can become a major threat to your reptiles health. Each year, freshen your globes and this will help keep your reptile in tip top condition. If you aren’t sure about what your reptiles needs are in terms of lighting or any other element in their care, come in a have a chat – we are open late night tonight until 7pm!

When treating disease in your fish tank, as well as curing their illness it is important to still look after the bacteria that supports your fish. Many fish medications that treat bacterial and fungal infections also harm the beneficial bacteria that grows in your tanks environment. Here at Pet City we have a range of aquarium medicines that can treat common aquatic diseases naturally. These products work well at returning your fish to good health without damaging the eco system they live in. Bring a water sample in for a free test and a chat about natural alternatives for treating some of the common aquatic diseases evident in aquariums.
We are open this whole long weekend. 8-5pm on Sunday, 9-4pm Monday
When we have our lunch we usually have an assortment of different foods. A sandwich for example, two slices of bread with an assortment of goodies in the middle. Carrot, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, capsicum with some cold meat. YUMMO –and its healthy for us. Variety is the key to a healthy diet. Remember back in primary school when we all first met the healthy food pyramid?
Feeding a bird on a seed only diet is not only one very high in oils but also like us living on bread and pasta our entire lives –nothing else. While it is necessary to have it in our diets, there are other things required to make it a balanced diet. Birds need vegetables and fruits supplied with their seed to complete a healthy diet. Some species more than others. Come in and have a chat about your birds diet with our friendly staff.
Did you know that feeding crickets alone without any calcium supplements can be dangerous for your reptile? Crickets are very high in phosphorus. Without calcium your reptiles bone density may be affected and can cause skeletal problems. Come in and have a chat with our team about it.
We have a BEAUTIFUL beagle in need of a loving family! He loves his food and is doing well with his lead training. He is learning to sit and has a ball running around with us on a lead.

We are open until 5pm today and from 8am til 5pm tomorrow.

The most important thing to have in your fish tank is beneficial bacteria!!! Without it your fish’s waste, excess food and other organic waste cannot be broken down and can cause high levels of toxicity which can be the main cause of disease in your aquarium. A nice thick layer of gravel increases the surface area of your tank allowing more space for this beneficial bacteria to grow. Never rinse any of your filter media under the tap as the chlorine in the tap water will kill your bacteria colony. Before adding fresh water to your tank when either topping up from water evaporating or doing a water change always treat it with a water conditioner prior to pouring it in. Try to adjust the pH of the water before adding it to your tank too – less to be adjusting and it helps keep your tank water consistent so your fish are less likely to stress with the change. A biological booster should be added to your tank on a weekly basis to keep it healthy. Come in and have a chat on how to keep the eco system in your aquarium a healthy one!! =]
Creepy crawlies living in the digestive tracts of your pet – ewww! Worms can be a cause of illness for many of our pets. Whether you have a bunny, bird, Burmese or a Boxer they all need to be treated regularly to ensure your pet is free of intestinal worms. Your pet doesn’t leave your yard you say? Doesn’t come in contact with other peoples pets? Wild birds and stray animals such as cats tend to come and go over our properties and it is these animals which are can spread such parasites. If your pet is due to be intestinal wormed, we can help you choose a regime that suits both yourself and your pet. Families also be aware that some tummy worms that our pets may carry, can be zoonotic ( transferred to humans) so when your pooch gets wormed maybe do the kids the same day!
Be honest now, no one does. The worse thing about owning a pet is the horrible stinky mess that can come out of them. Did you know that what comes out of your dog or cat is influenced by what goes in? What goes in wet, generally comes out a bit sloppier. What goes in dry, generally comes out a bit firmer. Your pets body will only absorb what is digestive, the rest is what comes out. That is the main difference between standard pet food and premium pet food. Premium diets are highly digestible which means your pets body will actually absorb much more of what goes in which equals less coming out!! Oh my goodness – LESS POO!!! We have a large range of Premium Diets available in store now. This includes Advance, Eukanuba, Hills Science Diet, Royal Canin and Nutro. Each of these highly digestible labels come with a 100% money back guarantee if your pet doesn’t enjoy them. Come in and have a chat with our knowledgeable staff about what diet may be best for your pet.
The last few days we have had a huge number of very upset families coming to us for support over losing their little guinea pig friends to the heat. Guinea pigs in the wild live underground where it is much cooler. In this hot weather, even in the shade it can reach temperatures well over what the average little pig can tolerate. Try to keep your guinea pig cool by moving him inside of the heat. Small cages suitable for this cause are available in store. Other ways include giving him so frozen water bottles to lie next to, freezing his vegetables ( corn, carrot, apples etc.) and wiping him down with a cool, damp cloth. Keep your guinea pigs cool in this aussie summer heat!!
Here in Balcatta we have a HUGE range of kitten toys, litter trays, litter, scratching poles, cat nip and even “Grow Your Own Cat Grass”. With a large range of premium diets for your kitten as well, we are a one stop shop your kittens needs! Please remember however, the importance of having your little friend sterilised. From six months of age your little kitten can have the day trip at the vet and get sterilised.
This time of year we get many phone calls from people with unwanted kittens. Be responsible, break the cycle that for many unwanted kittens means being put to sleep.
