It is fair to say that like most other industries in Australia, there has been an increase in larger multinational companies entering into the pet shop business! Even though these shops have a place in our community, it is worth noting that there are many advantages to shopping at and supporting locally owned businesses!
First of all the knowledge that Brad and Sunnie have about animals and the products they sell are phenomenal! When you go into the shop it is amazing to hear the level of advice that customers receive about a huge array of pets and pet products. It is clear that these customers are usually repeat customers and rely on Brad and Sunnie to help them out with all of their pet related needs. Both Brad and Sunnie love the rapport that they have with their clients and they are willing to help them in any way they can.
This extra service and attention is one of the examples of how customers of Armidale Pet Shop & Aquarium have back up help and service after they have either purchased their pet, or pet related product. The shop also offers a warranty on most of their products! This is especially important if you need a faulty heater for your fish tank replaced immediately.
In terms of the future for the pet shop industry, it appears that pet ownership is growing in Australia! Even though people are becoming increasingly time poor, many people still want pets in their life to provide them with love and companionship. Anyone who has owned pets will agree that they are much more fascinating than even the newest television drama! Spending time with pets is relaxing and it allows people to unwind from their often busy lives.
When buying a pet, there are a number of considerations that should be taken into account. You need to think about how long your new pet will live for. Obviously, the life expectancy of your pet will vary, but dogs generally live for 10 to 15 years, whereas cats can live for more than 20 years in some cases. Fish on the other hand usually live from 1 to 10 years depending on the variety of fish you have. You also need to think about the requirements of your pet including the time that it will take to look after the new addition to your family. Will your new pet need a lot of yard space and what type of food does your new pet enjoy? Is this within your budget? If you have kids or elderly people in your house, will your new pet be appropriate for their requirements?
As the local community supports Brad and Sunnie and their family, this allows them to support local charities and community events. We will highlight some of these good works in our next posting!
