Hey Pet Owners!

Cherry from Heathcote Valley

Just a heads up that a certain large chain pet store at Linwood currently has a sale on some items.
However my husband was about to pay full price when he remembered the advert and showed the shop assistant the discount on his phone.
‘Oh ok’ she said ‘if you show us the brochure you can have it for sale price, otherwise full price!”

A bit underhanded in my opinion!
