Join PetCard Member Rewards

You love your pets! But the tightening economy means that many pet owners are already struggling to maintain the high level of pet care, health and nutrition that they want for their pets. The Australian Pet Industry are helping pet owners to save without compromising quality by welcoming 'PetCard'.

'PetCard' started last year with support from the Pet Industry Association of Australia, as a simple way to help pet owners save on the costs of pet care. PetCard is now supported by hundreds of pet shops, online stores, dog groomers, vets, dog walkers, pet sitters and other businesses as well as holiday venues all over Australia.

Thousands of Australian pet owners shop with PetCard. Why? It only costs them around $30 a year to be part of the program after which the savings begin! Many happy members enthusiastically recommend PetCard to anyone with a pet:

"I feed quality food to my family and didn't want to compromise with cheap options for my dogs. PetCard saves me $20 each month on dog food alone, that I get from the local pet shop." Joanna (Epping, NSW)

"My poodles need grooming - their hair doesn't stop growing when the prices go up. PetCard saves me a fortune at the groomer" - Michelle (Hoxton Park, NSW)

"I used Pets Playground's web site mainly to find pet friendly holiday venues. We go away once or twice a year, but it was starting to get a little expensive. I actually got PetCard to save on pet food and bills, but now I also use it when booking holidays. Last year I booked a week away and saved around $70 with my PetCard" - Gwen (Toorak, VIC)
