The History of Pet City

Pet City Mt Gravatt has been providing an invaluable service to pet owners for over 67 years. Pet City Mt Gravatt began in 1957 as Mt Gravatt Produce Agency.

In those days, the area was predominantly rural. By the early 70s the area had changed considerably and at this time, the name Pet City Mt Gravatt was adopted. Changes in the area meant more families and therefore more pets, so the focus of the business changed to emphasise the need for pet requirements.

During the eighties and nineties, other aspects of the old produce business were phased out and Pet City Mt Gravatt became a totally pet oriented store, catering to all facets of pets and pet care. Pet City Mt Gravatt is now one of the longest standing private businesses in the area and has been family owned since its inception.

The store has pioneered the concept of a complete pet care centre and the practice of employing specialist staff for each section. With over 35 staff in specific areas, Pet City Mt Gravatt is able to provide all customers with expert knowledge and advice in all areas of pet care.

A multi award winner in the pet industry, Pet City Mt Gravatt carries a huge range of pet products rarely found in one store and is also a fully accredited member of the PIAA (The Pet Industry Association of Australia).

Pet City Mt Gravatt is a complete pet department store and has been leading the way in pet responsibility for decades. The store incorporates live animals for sale – with an extensive aquarium department with both marine and freshwater species, guinea pigs, mice, birds, reptiles and even unusual pets like spiders and scorpions, just to name a few.
