Here at the Hub we connect pet parents with local, reliable and trustworthy businesses. We advertise a range of services and products to cater for pet’s needs. Most of our businesses are small and often work from home. Our aim is to bring all providers together under one roof to make finding what you need for your pet a lot easier.
We’re essentially a directory for small businesses who advertise on our website and social media. Pet lovers browse for free, while product and service providers enjoy 3 months free before paying from $15 per month if they choose to continue with us. We also give back to local pet rescues through our own donations.
The beauty of K9andKats is the diversity of our businesses. Some providers offer a fairly specialised service or product. For example, some of the doggy daycare facilities may take specific breeds or small breeds only. All of the businesses on the website give contact details or a link through to their own FB page or website.
It’s easy! Search through the directory to find what you need, then click on their profile to see their contact details. This may be a website, social media page, email or telephone.
