Livestock Purchase Policy

At Pet City we pride ourselves on our dedication to animal welfare. We do everything we can to ensure that our animals go to loving, nurturing homes that can provide the right environment, nutrition and enrichment required to keep a happy and healthy pet.

For this reason, it is store policy and standard procedure for our staff to complete a pre-sale check to ensure customers satisfy our requirements for the sale of an animal. Our staff may ask you a few questions to determine if your home is suitable for the pet you seek to purchase. These questions might include but are not limited to questions about:

  • The environment you plan on keeping your pet in
  • The size of your tank or enclosure
  • The products you have or plan on purchasing for your pet

Some pets also require additional paperwork to be completed as part of their sale.

We request that customers looking to purchase an animal, allow enough time within our trading hours for our staff to complete this pre-sale check as part of our duty of care to our animals.

The amount of time required for the purchase of an animal will vary depending on the complexity of their housing requirements and maintenance. If the animal requires a license, this may also impact the amount of time required for purchase.

Please refer to the below as a guide for how long to allow for the purchase of animals.

  • Reptiles & amphibians - 1 Hour
  • Licensed spiders & scorpions - 30 Minutes
  • Unlicense spiders & scorpions - 15 minutes
  • Birds - 45 minutes 
  • Guinea pigs, rats and mice – 30 minutes
  • Freshwater fish, marine fish & coral - 10 minutes

To avoid disappointment, please arrive at our store with ample time before our store closing hours to complete a livestock purchase.

If the specified amount of time is not available for the sale, you may be turned away and asked to return when there is enough time available.

Our staff reserve the right to refuse the sale of an animal to a home that is suspected to not be suitable or equipped with the necessary items. Please understand that this is for the safety of our animals.
