Typical Retail Pet Store

Products DoggieMart are constantly increasing the range of products held in stock at their purpose built international disribution centre in Sydney Australia. Not having athe restrictions of a physical retail site means that a much wider choice of products can be made available online. The physical environment of a retail pet store does mean that you feel and touch the item you are buying. Overheads associated with physical retail stores though means higher product prices for the consumer and less product range.
Information Most information on the DoggieMart website with exception of blogs and page reviews has been professionals in the industry. All health related information has been writen by a highly qualified North Sydney Veternarian. Information that has been planned out and assessed is publsihed to assist customers. When visiting a typical pet store the information supplied to consumers is often inconsistant and in many cases today simply not supplied. Poor knowledge bases can lead to poor solutions being saught.
Ethical treatment of dogs DoggieMart research and test all products prior to stocking warehouse shelves. Each product is sent to owners and breeders of applicable dog breeds for suitabilty while at our head office products are tested for credibility and manufacturer reliability. DoggieMart stand by only the highest quality dog products and information.

For ethical reasons DoggieMart do not sells dogs but refer to a directory of reputable breeders for customer perusal.
While not a certain rule for all stores it is true that many stores sell puppies from dog farms. Those involved in numerous pet rescues such as DoggieMart owner Brent Hogan have seem the ugly side of this trade.

When buying a dog from a store always be sure you are being given reliable information regarding the exact background and breeding of the dog.
Cost By not having a retail presence DoggieMart can pass on wholesale savings to customers. More efficient distrubution shelving and no shop frontage means faster and cheaper product supply. Stores in malls or with streat frontage costs dog consumers considerable amounts at the typical retail counter. Niche products, if held are usually price inflated considerably.
