Verdict
Overall sentiment toward Petbarn is strongly positive, driven by exceptionally fast delivery options, competitive pricing, and helpful in-store staff. While the majority of customers report smooth transactions, a small portion of reviews highlights occasional fulfillment errors and challenges with customer support resolution.
I purchased on August 8, a 1.8kg bag of Pure Life Natural Boost Salmon from the Rockingham Store and knowing how fussy my dog is with dry food, I asked at the time if that brand was part of the Taste Guarantee return policy to get a refund if my dog wouldn't eat it. Was told yes, as long as it was returned within 30 days and at least 3/4 of the… Read more
bag remained. (Didn't know it until researching this afternoon but their policy states 45 days and at least 1/2 - 3/4 of the bag remaining). Went to return it this morning as my dog wouldn't touch it after several attempts and told by this rather arrogant salesperson who I had not seen before that Petbarn do not refund only exchange. I told him that I was told I could get a refund at the time of purchase and several years ago had received a refund when a previous dog of mine would not eat what I had purchased. He proceeded to tell me that Petbarn have never refunded and only ever exchanged and so I had no choice. I was forced to take the chicken variety of the same food as a replacement when I did not want this but wanted a refund. Quite angry and reluctantly taking it, I go to the Pet Barn online website only to find that what is stated is not what I was told at all, twice by two different salespeople. No matter what happens with this replacement food, I will be staying with Pet Stock now 100% and never buying from Petbarn again.
We had to Return/Exchange some new Cat Litter from Petbarn as it did not perform either as advertised or as the original product. So my son came home with 2 bags of the original product. That was 12 days ago and over the last week we noticed some new and unusual behavior by our 2 cats. We had also tried out some new wet food at the time and my son… Read more
said to me he thought that their somewhat aggressive behavior was due to the new food. So we stopped the food and no change was evident in the cats and we thought they were fighting as our Mud room where they sleep had some blood spots on the sink. So the day before yesterday there were a few spots and yesterday the whole room was sprinkled with blood and they both had what we thought were bite marks and scratches. I did some testing with paper towel and found Flea feces ! The only place where a Flea or Flea eggs could have been picked up was Petbarn as my son only Picked up 2 Bags of Cat litter from the shelves and a few loose cans of the new food. The Life cycle of the fleas observed and caught tallied exactly to the day my son went to Petbarn and the Fleas we removed yesterday were both juveniles and adult egg carrying fleas. Petbarn allow Dogs on Leashes and as well they have a Grooming Service but obviously the Store is not clean and needs complete fumigation. Everyone knows Fleas carry disease ( Yersina Pestis in the worst case scenario) and Tape worms and picking up this from the store is unacceptable as both our cats are terribly distressed as they both have never had a single flea on them.
We now have to Flea Bomb our entire house, Bath the cats wash all the bedding and vacuum and wash all the floors in our house and treat the cats for flea and worm infestation. We don't feed our cats offal or food that is not fit for humans and they are usually happy but this has been a terrible experience for both them and unnecessarily costly for us . Fortunately we have 2 intelligent cats who submitted to being "flea combed" when they had never had to stay still under duress before !
My son rang the local Petbarn Store to make a formal Complaint to the Manager who was not available and the Assistant Manager he spoke with was very short with him and said she had had Fleas too and it took her 3 months to get rid of them in other words "bad luck for you" and voiced the opinion that 'you could have brought a flea in from anywhere'. BUT the life cycle observed totally showed PetBarn was the source of the infestation and we won't ever go into a Petbarn Store ever again as they are not maintaining a level of cleanliness which reflects proper management for the health of their patrons or their pets.

Have been a member with Petbarn for many years and only recently that I’ve discovered express delivery service (within 2 hours) and haven’t been disappointed by it. I just ordered two items today at 09:40 and already have them delivered by uber driver at 10:15!!! That’s a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service and loving it! Thank you, Petbarn.

second-guess. I love the reward points system as it’s very valuable and gives you prizes that you can actually use and benefit from thank you so much for making my cat’s life so pleasant with all the yummy food , snacks, toys and bedding. As a platinum member we love shopping at Petbarn multiple times a week.

The staff at Rockingham WA store are amazing! On 24 Dec 2025 I placed an online order which included 10.5kg bag of Hills dog food and 2 small goat antlers.There was a small error, which is to be expected at such a busy time of year. Incorrect goat antlers. The order was rectified within two hours. Thanks to the supervisor who is working today and the staff at Rockingham WA store. Well done and a Merry Christmas you all!
items were all there and undamaged, but Uber delivery person chose to leave the package outside the property boundary on the driveway

Faultless!
On Saturday 8/11/25 I used the app to purchase the EZYDOG Drive Dog Car Booster Seat for my little Bichon Frisé dog Beau, & happily discovered that I could select a delivery for the same day to my home within 2 hours of placing my order on a Saturday! Not only was this such a convenient option but it was also an impressive fast delivery.
Key points that made my shopping experience more enjoyable are below:
1) App Navigation: Navigating the app is easy and hassle free. Was able to quickly search the menu, find a good quality dog car booster seat, add to my shopping cart, then select my chosen delivery option for the 2Hr Delivery, proceed to checkout & make my payment. Done quickly and effortlessly.
2) Multiple options available in the app for Collection of your items: In Store Pickup, 2 Hour Delivery, Next Day Delivery, Pick A Day & Time, Standard Delivery.
3) Up to date Email notifications: • 3:55pm Order Confirmation. Our team will pack your pet’s goodies shortly.

Our hours are Monday to Friday 8am - 7pm AEST and Saturday to Sunday 9am - 5pm AEST.
4) In Store Staff. The store staff picked & packed my order quickly, promptly sent out the email notification + tracking information. After receiving the delivery, I had a question about the product & wanted some advice about the setting up of the booster seat in my car and restraining of my dog, so I called the Hendon store from where it was delivered from. Spoke to a really helpful staff member named Aidan who was polite, patient, & able to explain everything regarding the product perfectly.
I will definitely use the Petbarn app when shopping for my pets again in the future.
Highly recommend that consumers consider using the Petbarn app for ease of use and convenience. Saves time and great for people who don’t have transport or are unable to drive to the store.
Easy to navigate website, Great quality products, Speedy Shipping & Suki loves her treats, food & toys! Thanks Petbarn. ❤️
Fast accurately timed free delivery, excellent pricing, faultless service really will use them again.

Great service – As I am pretty much housebound I shop on line for my two cats. Petbarn has been my go to shop for 4 yrs now. I love the free delivery within 2hours and it is always spot on. Can not recommend them more highly. When I have managed to shop in store, staff are always helpful and friendly.
Follow-up · Six years in and still loving Petbarn. Online shopping is a breeze, it's easy to use and the usually have everything I need. Delivery is very prompt, with delivery people being friendly and polite. They usually bring my heavy kitty litter in for me!!!!!
I am fed up with PetBarn - I make a Purchase & Staff ask for my Mobile number because I get a a $10 Discount after spending a certain amount of $$$. I use to get a $10 Discount every so often. I spend on average $50 - $60 a month (3 small Dogs)… Read more
Royal Canin Kibble. I have spent hundreds & hundreds of Dollars & no $10 Reward. I have asked the Staff, I haven’t had the $10 discount for ages - they say vaguely, “Oh you should get the $10 soon” There is always new Staff - I was told they are in Training & get transferred to different Stores..all I can say the Staff in Training are useless, & I am out of Pocket of a lot of $10’s. The Staff probably don’t even know how to my record my purchases in the Computer!!!. I have asked the Staff questions - they don’t know anything about the Stock. So what is the problem the Company or the Staff. So much for caring about a Customer who has been with PetBarn for years & years, having bought Cat & Dog - I trusted PetBarn to record my Purchases, big mistake !!
Follow-up · When I signed up to be a Member Employee took down my details. I never received any Vouchers, having documented my frustration on this website. Petbarn responded, requesting, if I would contact them, I did. Spoke with a pleasant most helpful man The reason I never r’cd Vouchers was because when Staff (in Store) had signed me up to become a Member… Read more

pleasant either, they said if I get the order I'll need to return it which means I'll need to take time off work to do so. Also they have the puppy and kitten club, they supposed to provide a welcome pack but nothing has come of that either, very disappointed

Five stars for incredible service! The wonderful lady, Jill, at Pet Barn gave me fantastic guidance and support as a new kitten owner. Her expert advice made me feel completely confident, and she helped me find exactly what I needed. Jill was from the Springfield Store filling in at Browns Plains. I will definitely go to the store where is permanently stationed due to her service. Thank you Jill!!! Show details

Ordered three bags of chicken pellets. One was cancelled as they only had two. 5 days later one was delivered. Petbarn didn’t automatically refund.

There was no consequences for Petbarn for keeping my money for over a… Read more

I recently purchased a rope toy from your shop for my dog. After 1 day the rope had frayed & l was actually concerned that my small dog could have choked on the rope threads. I took it back & the sales person was very unhelpful & more or less said it was not her concern that all toys were destructible. I did not want a refund l just wanted to… Read more

Fantastic customer service, great price, 2-hour delivery! We made a mistake with our online order, called customer service, and a real person (Catherine) picked up and offered a solution well beyond our expectations and their public service offering. Hugely appreciated!
Up there as one of the worst online ordering systems / experiences I order veterinary diet food for my cats via Petbarn - they sent the wrong item (wet food instead of dry) on a repeat order. Had to deal with an AI chatbot that just offered broken links, then a 3 day support back and forth via email. Finally organised a refund for the difference,… Read more
reordered the correct food got the wrong food again. Was told to leave the wrong order out and they'll replace but instead they just took the wrong order and replaced with nothing.
Still waiting. Been almost a week. Half a dozen emails and three calls to support. The humans are nice when you get to speak to them - the digital systems are completely broken.

This is for the Upper Coomera store. I had the absolute pleasure being served by a lovely young guy called Joey. He was kind, considerate and helpful. He is extremely good in customer service and fantastic at his job. The young lady Abs was lovely as well. Show details
