Our pharmacy for pets online deliveries starts from just $6.95, with the final shipping cost depending on three factors: the weight of your order, your delivery address, and your chosen delivery method (express or standard shipping).

You'll see the exact shipping cost displayed in our shipping calculator at checkout before you pay — no surprises. We use a live quote system powered by Australia Post, which guarantees you'll always pay the lowest available shipping fee for your order.

We offer free standard shipping Australia-wide on all orders over $149 for parcels up to 500g. Your order will be delivered straight to your door at no extra cost once you hit the $149 threshold.

Please note that refrigerated pet medications do not qualify for free shipping, as these are cold-chain products that require specialised packaging in insulated eskies with gel packs to maintain product integrity. All refrigerated items are shipped via Express Post (with Aus Post) to ensure fast, temperature-controlled delivery.
