Dogs, cats, birds, fish - Australians love their pets! More than half of  Australian households have a cat or a dog and nearly two thirds own a pet of some sort. And being a responsible pet owner means doing the right thing for your pet, yourself, your family, your neighbours and your community.

i-pet.com.au will help you get the most out of being a responsible pet owner.

i-pet will help you find information on matters such as where to find a new pet, dog obedience and training, laws affecting your pet, events, shows and expos for your suburb, area or state.

SelectaPet, the online guide to finding a pet, can also help to identify the dog or cat breed that is suited to your lifestyle.

You can find out where you can walk your dog and where the dog friendly beaches, parks and places are.

Visit shows, events and expos to see which pet is best suited to your family and lifestyle. Check out breeders or adopt a new best friend.

Maybe your dog has a competitive streak? Involve your dog in agility, flyball and jumping activities. There are tracking events for the adventurous dog and for dogs with a herding instinct there are obedience trials.

You may want to help within your community by volunteering with your pet? i-pet gets you started with information on where you can find out more about volunteering.

i-pet can help you to find accommodation that will allow you to enjoy a pet friendly holiday Tips on pet friendly living either in your own home, apartment or rental accommodation are available on i-pet. Even dog friendly cafes are here as well, so you can shout your best friend a doggy-chino after a long walk.

i-pet also directs you to on-line communities, campaigns and lots of links to other websites.
