Buying Guides
Work Out What You Need Before You Spend A Cent.
Labels are written for vets. These are written for the person doing the feeding at 5am. Every guide tells you what to buy, what to skip, and when the cheap option is genuinely fine.

How To Compare
Four Steps We Use Ourselves
The same process we go through before a product ever gets listed on this site.
-
Start with the animal, not the product
Weight, age, species and where you live decide almost everything. Get those four right and the shortlist is usually two products long.
-
Read the actives, not the brand
Two products with different names often contain the same active ingredient at the same rate — at very different prices.
-
Check the gaps
The cheapest combination product usually leaves something out. Work out what it doesn't cover before you compare prices.
-
Buy the pack size you'll use
Bulk is only cheaper if it doesn't expire in the cupboard. We'll tell you when the small pack is the right call.
Still stuck? Ring us with the animal's weight and what you're treating for — that's usually all we need.
Care Pages
Or Start From The Animal
Each care page has the full routine, the common problems and the products that go with them.
Dog Care
Worming, tick and flea, joints, dental and food. Start with the life-stage routine.
Cat Care
Cat-safe parasite control, hydration and the signs older cats hide.
Horse Care
Feet, gut and teeth — plus a worming strategy that doesn't build resistance.
Livestock Care
Drench programs, clostridial vaccines and withholding periods you can plan around.
Poultry Care
Mites, worms, calcium and ventilation for backyard flocks and sheds.
Ask A Human
None of this replaces a conversation. Ring us and we'll work it out with you.
Still Not Sure?
We'd Rather Talk Than Have You Guess
Tell us the animal, the weight and what you're treating for. We'll tell you what we'd use — including when that's nothing at all.
Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm AEST.
