For Australian pet owners, shipping costs can significantly inflate the cost of buying pet supplies online. A $25 bag of dog treats shouldn’t cost $35 once shipping is added — but that’s the reality on many online pet stores that charge $8–$15 per order. Free shipping on pet supplies is rare in Australia, which is exactly why Pets Hub Online’s free shipping on every order stands out.
The True Cost of Pet Ownership in Australia
Australian pet ownership costs have risen significantly in recent years. According to Animal Medicines Australia’s Pets in Australia report, Australians spend an average of $3,200 per year per dog and $1,800 per year per cat when accounting for food, vet bills, grooming, boarding and supplies. Every saving counts — and free shipping is a meaningful one.
Consider a pet owner ordering monthly supplies — dog food, treats, grooming products, replacement toys. If each order attracts a $9.95 shipping fee, that’s nearly $120 per year in shipping costs alone — before they’ve bought a single product.
Why Most Pet Stores Charge for Shipping
Pet supplies are bulky and heavy. Dog food, cat litter, and bedding are expensive to ship across Australia’s vast geography. Many retailers offset their product margins by charging for delivery, or set minimum order thresholds ($49, $79, $99) that force customers to spend more than they planned to “unlock” free shipping.
