My daughter and I recently attended the Mair St, Ballarat store where we were assisted by Thomas in the purchase of no pull dog harnesses. He didn't approach us when we walked into the store (which is what we prefer) but allowed us to find the range we were looking for and then when it was obvious we needed help, he was there to help with sizing… Read more
and explaining the use and merits of each harness. He was very helpful, friendly and patient and in between assisting us, he also attended to the needs of other customers. He showed exemplary skills in Customer Service and we wish there were more like him. We left the store, happy customers and with two new dog harnesses.
We were greeted as soon as we walked in and were show the products location we were looking for. The young lady was very knowledgeable about the products and took her time to answer our questions. Show details · 1

The lady at Waurn Ponds store was exceptional, very knowledgeable, friendly and, happy to help. One of the items l was after was not available at this store so, she took the time to look up stock at other stores nearby on my behalf. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Show reply

Our large groodle was groomed at Engadine petstock yesterday and we could not be happier. He was happy and he looks and smells amazing. We asked for a teddy bear cut and they groomed him so well. He is soft and fluffy and exactly how we asked them to groom him. The price was reasonable also. We will definitely go back for future grooming there. Show details · 1

Follow-up · Pet Stock is my go to shop for all my dog’s feed needs. We have recently changed dry food due to allergies on staff recommendations and so far going well. It great to talk with people that give real life experiences with their own pets.
The groomers at PetStock Carrum Downs always do such an amazing job looking after our baby. She always comes home looking and smelling fantastic and even she is in good spirits after a trip to the salon! Show details · 1
Follow-up · Cookie generally takes between 2-3 hours depending on how many of the team are working that day. We always get the same grooming style, to shape her pants, trim between her paws, tidy up around her bum, and trim her claws. She always comes home smelling amazing, and you can see how happy she is from being pampered. We usually book a recurring… Read more

Positive reviews
Such helpful staff. They really know which products were best as you don't sell Paraguard dog worming tablets any more so the staff member was able to tell me what she thought was best to use instead. Thanks for the help Show reply
Walked in with a puppy who needed a quick nail trim so he wouldn’t hurt himself as his nails were long as he was recovering from an injury. Jess and Mel did oblige and attend to Dash I have no doubt that I will see them soon for a full grooming session for Dash as soon as his brace comes off. Thanks once again Show details · 1
The staff at Petstock Hoppers Crossing are very friendly and extremely helpful. Their knowledge of stock and recommendations is amazing, especially the staff member who helped me choose my fish for my fish tank (I forgot her name). She was the best! I will definitely keep shopping here for all my pet needs. Show details · 1

We always enjoyed visiting, the staff are always lovely & helpful. I dont have my dogs nail clipped any more in store as they cut my dogs claw so very short the blood was squirting out, i took her home with a fully bandaged leg thatcontinued to bleed, i didn't go to work that night. More care needed to be taken. I understand that animals move, but don't cut until 100% sure. Show details
Terrible customer service. You walk in there and get ignored. I made a complaint to head office and just got the corporate so sorry, blah, blah, blah. I know people who are great at customer service that have applied for jobs at Pet Stock and get knocked back. All the pet stock stores in my area seem to be the same, staff that… Read more

I only shop there now because of the reward points. If I can get a better deal elsewhere, I shop elsewhere.

After ordering Dog food and having it free delivered From PET STOCK LILYDALE ( if you spend a certain amount) for over nine months , i was informed that they do not deliver free anymore or even organise it to be delivered .If you want it to be delivered for free YOU NEED TO ORGANISE THAT YOURSELF. That is not what there web page suggests. I have… Read more
been ordering it on a friday night after ^pm for same day delivery and they deliver it the next morning which has been great until today. Today they rang me and asked when i was going to pick it up , and when i said it was supposed to be delivered , they told me that they do not organise that and i would have to do it myself. After trying to get it delivered they said they would talk to theyre customer service, the ne xt thing i knew They CANCELLEED THE ORDER and refunded me. Now as i am out of food i have to go into the store and get it myself I AM NOT IMPRESSED

Petstock Vet Essendon used to be good but emails dated 4/4/26 and 8/4/26 have not been responded to even with an escalation to the Practice Manager. Lodged a complaint to support on the 8/4/26 and the unhelpful response dated 10/4/26 was that one email was in the junk folder and the other email (which email??) will be responded to shortly but as… Read more
at 18/4/26, no response received. Also support have closed off the case 10/4/26 without any further action. This customer service or complete lack of customer service, is not what customers should have to experience. I incorrectly stated the emails went to essendon@petstock.com.au which may have caused the issue but I hope their direct customer service with pets is not also, non existent.
Update 21/4/26 I have now verified all emails went to essendon@petstockvet.com.au which is the CORRECT email address. Now seems Petstock support 'dropped the ball' and provided miscommunication making the issues worse. Thankfully, the Practice manager (not sure if I am permitted to provide her name) has resolved everything and I will be changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars thanks to her.

I was looking for a particular product that I saw online but couldn't find it, when I mentioned it to the guy he said oh yes and took me straight to it, seriously my fault as I didn't look far enough but if he hadn't asked, I would have walked out of that shop in Jandakot and gone elsewhere. Customer interaction and service is a major contact,… Read more · 1
without it we would go elsewhere and price match and you would loose the sale. To be honest at nearly closing time both the young man and young lady were so welcoming and helpful and I felt that with their interactions that the store would be open for at least another 3 hours, NO nearly half an hour, I also work in retails and it was so very refreshing to find someone so very helpful. Please make sure that the 2 x staff members at Jandakot store on 10/12/25 , he helped me with the products that I wanted and she was so lovingly attending to the adoption boy that was in their store. I cannot find a name on the receipt but it was at 5.35pm on 10/12/25, from the bottom of my heart thank you both so very much.
