Parkes Pet Barn prides itself on being the oldest pet shop in the central west. Being the oldest pet shop in the region means that we have developed a strong relationship with our customers and the wider local community. With this comes a responsibility to provide nothing but the best products and services available to our clients.

We love Australia, and we love being Australian. That’s why 96% of the fresh fruit & veg we sell comes from Australia, grown by true-blue farmers right across the country. 100% of our fresh meat comes from here, too. This love has led us to get involved with lots of different communities all over the country, in lots of different ways. But it’s a big country, and hearing everyone’s voice isn't always easy. That’s where this page comes in, because it’s the perfect place to stay in touch with us and everyone else in our community. Share your ideas, tell us what you like, and let us know what you think we could do better. Plus, we’ll keep you up to date with heaps of handy news, offers, competitions and more. This is a shared place, and we want everyone to enjoy it. Just like our stores, it’s a family environment with people of all ages, so please keep that in mind, be respectful of others, and don’t post things that aren't in the right spirit – nothing rude or offensive.
