THERE’S some exciting news for local pet owners and lovers – Port Stephens Pet Warehouse has undertaken a massive revamp, breaking new ground in quality and service.

The one-stop pet store, which has been owned and operated by local businessman Brian Blake for more than 10 years, offers everything a pet owner needs.

The massive warehouse stocks leading brands in a range of pet accessories, food, clothing, toys, bedding, collars and leads.

There is also an array of birds (many hand-raised), reptiles and fish available, and in groundbreaking news the local business can now also offer a dog wash, in addition to pet grooming and styling.

Mr Blake said he was excited to have Petz Palace open its doors adjacent to the Pet Warehouse in Shearwater Drive, Taylors Beach.

“We are fortunate to have experienced pet groomer Maura Bandi available five days a week,” Mr Blake said.
“The grooming business will complement our newly installed, do-it-yourself dog wash facility.

“In addition to the warehouse revamp, this will provide the Port’s many pet owners some of the best products and services available, which we are very proud of.”

Mr Blake said some of the additions customers will notice are the new signage and lighting, a separate space for reptiles and easier access.

What has not changed, however, is the excellent customer service that has become synonymous with Pet Warehouse.

Mr Blake paid tribute to staff members Kate John, Lisa Steane and Maura, who have more than 100 combined years of experience working with pets.

“The staff are very knowledgeable and caring and are happy to provide customers with the best advice on products for their pets,” Mr Blake said.

“We are also proudly local and independent and I want to thank the many loyal customers who continue to visit us from all parts of Port Stephens.”

You can find the Pet Warehouse at Unit 4/9 Shearwater Drive, Taylors Beach, where there is plenty of off-street parking.

Bookings for the Petz Palace can be made on 4919 0495.
