There’s no doubt that our pet dog, cat, or rabbit is an important member of the family. That’s why residents of Sydney’s Northern Beaches want only the best for their furry companions.
With that in mind, we take a look at some of the amazing people and businesses in the 2101 postcode that make it their goal to support Northern Beaches’ pets.
Pet rescue homes
For Northern Beaches residents who want to welcome a new pet and do good for the community, the first stop should be Monika’s Doggie Rescue. The Ingleside animal shelter has a no kill policy and always has an array of dogs, cats, rabbits, and the occasional other species who need a loving home.
All the animals housed at Monika’s have been desexed and vaccinated and are usually in the best of health. Take a look at the website but be warned; those first impressions will see you falling in love.
The best thing about Monika’s is that the team considers applications very carefully. Pets are paired with responsible people so everyone is happy for the long term. It’s not possible to purchase on impulse; which is a good thing for all involved. You can also get involved by walking the dogs, or raising funds for the shelter.
Pet daycare
Our busy working lives mean that many Northern Beaches residents are at work all day. Thankfully there are two high-quality pet daycare centres in and around the 2101 postcode:
- Northern Beaches Dogs is an excellent option for pups with lots of energy. The staff at Northern Beaches Dogs will look after your active dogs throughout the day, walking them, grooming them and giving them attention and exercise. The Warriewood-based centre will even do pick up and drop off.
- Pampaw’d Pets is also in Warriewood, and offers a safe and caring place for dogs to spend their days. Your dog is guaranteed a fun space to play or laze around while you’re at work. Open Monday to Friday, the team love dogs and thoroughly enjoy caring for them. Katie, the owner of Pampaw’d Pets, is also an experienced dog groomer, so your pet can be pampered too.
Pet boarding
When you need to take a trip away from home, the Northern Beaches have some of the best pet boarding facilities.
- Dawgy Hotel and Daycare owner Mark loves dogs. He will shower your pet with love and attention while you are away. Dawgy Hotel and Daycare boast a five-star rating on the Facebook page for their dog boarding skills, with reviewers calling it a “dog wonderland”.
- Pet Resorts Australia believe pets should enjoy a holiday too. This Ingleside facility has so many luxuries, you’ll be tempted to stay here yourself. With lots of play and dedicated pet nannies on hand, Pet Resorts Australia will ensure your pet has a good time. Book a stay for your dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig or bird.
Grooming, walking and visits
The Northern Beaches are also home to fantastic dog groomers, walkers, and carers.
- Marisa’s Dog Walking: has the slogan, ‘a good dog is a tired dog’. The operators know that dogs need lots of exercise. They make sure that your pooch gets as much time to burn off energy as it needs. Marisa’s Dog Walking is based in North Narrabeen but available for pets living between Dee Why to Newport.
- Northern Beaches Pet Care: Some animals might not need much exercise, but they still need love and attention. Along with walking, grooming, and other specialised pet care, the team at Northern Beaches Pet Care will visit your pet, at your home, to give them some company during the day.
- Hotdog Grooming: Many dogs need hair trimmed as much as their human parents do. Warriewood based Hotdog Grooming provides simple or creative cuts.
Veterinarians
Regular check-ups are vital for keeping your fur babies in the best shape. The good news for residents of North Narrabeen, Elanora Heights and surrounding areas is that there are plenty of vet clinics. There is also an emergency vet service close by.
- Elanora Veterinary Clinic is a family run and owned vet. Dr Miles Alexander and the team at Elanora Veterinary Clinic are dedicated to your pets’ health.
- North Narrabeen Veterinary Hospital is a fully licensed veterinary hospital focusing on the highest standard of care. Ask the team at North Narrabeen Veterinary Hospital about their multi-pet and pensioner discounts.
- Pittwater Animal hospital has cared for Northern Beaches’ pets for over sixty years. The Pittwater Animal Hospital vets pride themselves on being progressive while maintaining traditional values.
- Northside Emergency Vet Service: This is a 24 hour emergency vet in Terrey Hills. It offers intensive care and is good to have in your contacts during tick season.
