Where does your new pet come from?
At Kellyville Pets, we believe in complete transparency and the highest standards of animal welfare. We're committed to ensuring every pet we place in a loving home has come from ethical and responsible sources, while also working to support sustainability.
Independent pet store. 40+ years.
Different animals, different partners.
Every species has its own sourcing story. Here's where each of ours comes from.
Puppies
Only from breeders independently audited by the RSPCA and AWL NSW.
Birds
Many are raised in our bird staff's own homes, plus a few reputable breeders.
Reptiles
Bred in-house or by specialty Australian breeders, sold under our NSW Animal Dealer licence.
Fish
Captive-bred where possible, from sustainable and ethical suppliers.
Small animals
From a small group of long-term breeding partners who are truly passionate about their animals.
Responsible breeding, always.
We partner exclusively with trusted breeders who meet our strict animal welfare criteria. All breeding partners are subject to independent audits by leading welfare organisations, including the RSPCA and AWL NSW (Animal Welfare League NSW), ensuring their practices are of the highest standard.
In addition to these partnerships, our sister business, Rockley Valley Park, serves as a benchmark in the industry. This state-of-the-art facility sets the gold standard for ethical breeding and has been recognised and discussed during Animal Companion Bill reforms as a high benchmark for standards. Our customers can take comfort in knowing that every puppy at Kellyville Pets comes from a place of care, transparency, and love. Our staff have records on hand of which breeders our pups came from, including photos and weights of Mum and Dad.
Bred with care and expertise.
Many of our birds are born and raised in the homes of our expert bird staff, where they receive exceptional care and attention. This breeding program ensures our birds are socialised, healthy, and ready to thrive in their new families. By focusing on smaller, ethical breeding programs, we prioritise the health and well-being of our feathered friends.
We also partner with a handful of reputable breeders who specialise in other bird species, ensuring a wide variety of happy, healthy birds for our pet parents.
Specialty breeding partners.
Alongside the many animals we breed in-house, we are proud to partner with a selection of Australia's most reputable breeders, allowing us to source only the best quality reptiles for our pet parents.
We sell live reptiles under an NSW Animal Dealer licence, so every reptile we sell is a species approved for sale and is kept to licence standards.
Sustainable aquarium sourcing.
We are passionate about providing high-quality aquatic life while prioritising the health of our ecosystems. Captive breeding reduces pressure on wild populations and ensures healthier, hardier aquatic life for your home aquarium, and we are continually expanding our captive-bred range.
Freshwater species: many of our fish come from an Australian supplier operating a state-of-the-art fish farm to provide locally bred stock.
Trusted breeders, long-term partners.
We work with a small group of long-term breeding partners we know and trust. They're truly passionate about their rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice, and they share our high standards for health, housing and care.
Because we've worked with the same breeders for years, we know how each animal has been raised, and our team can answer your questions about where your new pet came from.
