Choosing a new pet is an exciting prospect and one which will generally involve a lot of emotion. Given that most pets will join your family for around 15 years, it is important to think about the consequences of owning a pet and the type of pet you have in mind.

Health Guarantee
Kellyville Pets is proud to offer a 14 day health guarantee on small animals, aviary birds, freshwater fish, insects & hermit crabs and a 90 day health guarantee on handraised birds.

It is our aim to educate our customers on responsible pet ownership to ensure the health and welfare for the life of the pet. Below are our specific guarantees.
