5 Talbot Hill  · Very happy with service and the product had a good expiry date
5 Lyn Redden  · Great delivery time and quicker than I thought. Thanks heaps
5 Jo-Ann M  · Always excellent service and very fast delivery. Will always deal with Pet Chemist.
5 Gintra  · Great value worming tabs, for large dogs. Not all dogs take to the chews, so good to find a company that still sells the tablets for large dogs.
5 Emjs  · Got my cat's prescription so much cheaper than through the vet. Easy process and prompt delivery.
5 Deborah Sleight  · Very easy to order my pets medication and great communication.

Nothing wrong with the product and was well packed. The courier service - Amtrak was as slow as a "wet week". They also managed to wedge the box into my letter box so I had the greatest difficulty extracting it.

I used Pet Chemist for the first time and was genuinely impressed. Their website was extremely easy to navigate, making it simple to find exactly what I needed. After checking a bunch of physical stores and online retailers, Pet Chemist had the best price by far. Checkout was smooth and straightforward, and the delivery was surprisingly fast —… Read more

much quicker than I expected. Based on this first experience, I’d definitely recommend Pet Chemist. I’ll be using them again.

Excellent & rapid service. Dispensing animal prescription products is no different to those for humans, requiring valid paper scripts. The products came in rapid time. My beloved 19 year old Cookie says thanks!

I could not fault them. They have excellent customer service and good competitive pricing plus from my experience, it’s easy to contact them by telephone and email which is important when needed. My dog’s healthy life style thrives with Petz Park amongst other carefully selected nutritional doggy stuff and Pet chemist online seems to have the best deals.

We will NOT be ordering from Pet Chemist again. I ordered and paid for my dog's epilepsy medication on Monday the 9th of June using a repeat prescription that Pet Chemist had on file, physically and electronically, and I followed the advice provided via email and the website that states - "If we have valid prescriptions on file, your order will… Read more

be sent down to the pharmacy shortly. If there are any issues with your prescriptions, we will contact you by email and SMS." That is a direct quote/copy and paste. I was not contacted at any time about anything. As a result of the misinformation provided by Pet Chemist, my dog was forced to go without his epilepsy medication for three days. Instead of receiving his medication by Friday the 13th of June, I received it today, the 18th of June. BUT this was only due to me realising my order hadn't progressed after six days. On 15th of June I uploaded his repeat prescription AGAIN to see if this would change the order status - it did, within hours. TOO LATE. My dog had three seizures last night.

12kg bag of Kitty Litter damaged. When preparing carton to be opened we heard loose kitty litter moving through the box and discovered kitty litter leaking out of the delivery carton, causing us some concern. Carefully opened carton to find an open package of litter and alot of loose litter everywhere in the box. Took photos and emailed Pet… Read more

Chemist and received no reply.

$89.00 bag of litter plus delivery disappointing, and were left wondering how much litter leaked out of the nox during transit.

We are happy with the product (Zamipet Allergy and Itch chews) our dog’s itching has noticeably decreased. We have tried many different options and have had the best results with this, and our dog loves the taste. Great communication throughout and the product arrived in perfect condition. Thank you!

Little mate lives his duck treats . I’ve minimised the variety to get down to this as his favourite. No more wasting money to see what works … this does for Eddie.

The order for Vivitonin should have been quicker as the prescription was sent directly from my vet. My past orders have been dispatched quicker.

top notch service – I put the order / prescription online and posted the original and received the medicine very quickly. Never had any problems with this service. Professional and fast.

 Follow-up  · Unfortunately, my little girl passed a year ago and I no longer want another pet. However, can only say how good this company was in delivery of product efficiently and this helped me immensely.

All items arrived in perfect condition & well packed. Delivery instructions were followed. Thank you.

 Follow-up  · The Pro-Kolin range of Enterogenic & probiotics are effective and a lifesaver. I always keep a small supply on hand as I have a dog with chronic enteropathy & she is on various pro Kolin products daily. Delivery is always reliably prompt and buying from Pet Chemist saves me a lot of money instead of having to buy from a vet. Thank you Pet Chemist for being online & stocking the best.

Great price Great delivery time Product was Insectivore mix....our Magpies and kookaburras absolutely devour it. We mix some fruit and nuts with raw oats as well which also brings in other local natives.

Ordered Glandex for my dog. Was worried when I saw Aramex was the courier but this time they managed to deliver in good time. Aramex in my area are not great. Nothing to do with pet chemist at all. Product arrived as described and it was the cheapest price I could get it for!

It appears that the delivery person from Aramex enjoys leaving the delivery in the middle of our front lawn. This occurs consistently. Please let them know that deliveries must be drop off on the side driveway entrance porch. PS the front gate is always unlocked for entry and our dogs are contained behind the secondary fences. No damage was… Read more

evident on these previousdeliveries but if it rained then the carton and contents would be damaged. Thanks Phil

Ordered prescription cat food. Firstly, I tried to amend my delivery address, which unfortunately I hadn't realised had prefilled with my old address. On order confirmation I tried to log in to change the delivery address as the parcel hadn't been dispatched. On discovering I couldn't do that via profile, I submitted the request via the form on… Read more

the Pet Chemist website. Shortly after, I received confirmation that the parcel was going to be delivered to my old address. Without another option, I left a note for the residents at the old address letting them know of the parcel situation. A week after placing the order, I found out via the original Aramex tracking link that the parcel has been returned to sender, with no update on whether it'll ever be sent to my correct address as requested. Would leave a 0 star rating if I could, but giving 1 star in the event it might still show up before I have to try to contact customer service for help again.

I don't appreciate being sold a product that has been discontinued without a warning. Caninsulin Vetpen starter kit (0.5IU-8IU) for a diabetic dog. Cost me 175 bucks and the cartridges are being phased out
