Turns out that Pets Paradise in Sydney appears to be closing down! The 3 shops near me are all shutting their doors on Friday, so have 75% off accessories...

Bargains to be had for supplies, and a WIN for the poor dogs being used as backyard breeders

It's all over Australia, they've gone into receivership.

YAY!! Our local one recently had a 'Today only - Friday the 13th' special on black kittens. Not that they are encouraging impulse buying of pets or anything nasty like that :-/

I dont know if the pets are discounted, god I hope not! That will cause a huge influx to pounds and rescue in a matter of months if so, cause they are 'no longer cute' that makes me stabby

The store near us closed well over a year ago now. The other one I knew of I noticed was gone the other day. The pets there are over-priced and not desexed. I have a pets paradise horror story from a long time ago and reported them.

The animal welfare league is fantastic though and is the first place we'd go to get a new furry family member. The cat we have from there now is fantastic and the kids love her to bits original.gif

Apparently some are independently owned and won't be closing. Real shame.
