Retailer review · AustraliaPETO
Billed as 'Australia's largest dog & cat store', PetO pairs a big range with a low-price guarantee across stores and online. It's genuinely strong on breadth and value, though the online experience, subscription perks and prescription depth trail the online-only specialists and Petbarn's national footprint.
Editorial verdict
PetO is a strong value all-rounder: a big range and a low-price guarantee make it a real contender on everyday cost. Where it lags is online polish, subscription value and prescription depth versus the online specialists and Petbarn's national reach. Compare price-per-kg and check the guarantee terms to get the most out of it.

Other strong retailers to compare with PETO
Many carry the same brands, so it's always worth a price-per-kg check. These are the other online stores we'd weigh up alongside PETO.
86/100
Petbarn
Petbarn is a genuine all-rounder: the widest range in the country, stores nationwide, strong delivery and competitive member and Repeat Delivery pricing. With so much choice on the shelf, comparing price-per-kg across its house brand and the national brands it also stocks — Black Hawk, SavourLife and Prime100 — is the simplest way to find your best-value match.

Pet Circle
Pet Circle is a strong online experience with a genuinely deep premium catalogue, but it trades on premium positioning rather than the lowest per-kg price. On mainstream brands you can frequently do better elsewhere — including Petbarn with member pricing or Repeat Delivery — and you lose the option of a store when you need advice or a return. Check the per-kg price before you assume the polished site means the best value.

Budget Pet Products
Budget Pet Products does exactly what the name says: low everyday prices on mainstream brands, often the price-to-beat per kg. The trade-off is a narrower premium and prescription range and basic delivery, so it's a sharp choice for value-led shoppers but not a one-stop store. Compare price-per-kg on your specific bag before you buy.

PETO delivery is from $8.95; free over threshold, with free shipping over $59. It also offers repeat delivery: repeat order discounts.
Yes — repeat order discounts. PETO does offer a price match, so it can be worth quoting a cheaper online price.
PETO suits value shoppers who want a big range with a price guarantee. It is less ideal if you want the slickest autoship/subscription.
