Loved by pet owners Australia wide.

We had been recommended Petsy by some friends and now we do that same recommending. Great service. We will continue to recommend to others as they have been fantastic for us.

Jason Peterson - October 2021

I have found Petsy really reliable, they communicate well and they want what’s best for you and your pet.

Kaitlin Mason - December 2021

Amazing service and caring people. Couldn't speak more highly of the company and people. Just love our fur babies and they made it so easy for us to have peace of mind that our babies our cared for and protected if anything should ever happen. Seriously can not speak more highly of them. Definitely recommend to everyone 🙂
