Caretakers / Pet Sitters – Animal Food Purchases & Storage

Caretakers and pet sitters with their own vehicles are responsible for picking up animal food at the beginning of the week when doing their own shopping.

Please confirm with us in advance so payment can be arranged before you collect or purchase any items.

Before shopping, please check and follow the approved product list below to ensure the correct food is purchased.

Pick up Location: 

• Sattleworld Coolalinga, next to Woolworths, or
• Berrimah Stockfeed.

⚠️ Storage Requirement

All animal food must be stored immediately after pickup in the designated, sealed food bins. Animal food must never be left overnight, unattended, or exposed to weather at any time, as this attracts pests and wildlife and can spoil the food
