Stock Held on Hand

At Mel's Pet Shed we hold reasonable stock levels to meet the need of the average house hold. During seasons such as Summer in Queensland, Vet lines such as Bravecto can be originally ordered as a top up and sold and awaiting arrival to be shipped to you in one day. As a result orders can be held up, we aim to keep back up stock levels high but unfortunate we can't always predict online sales.
