About Us
Paddington Pups was established four years ago as the Purebread Pet Pantry & Supplies store on Given Terrace Paddington. In November 2007, Purebread moved to a larger premises at Heussler Terrace (just behind Suncorp Stadium). In May 2008, Purebread was purchased by Carly Fitzgerald and renamed Paddington Pups.
At Paddington Pups we are passionate about animals and in particular, we aim to provide our customers with everything they need to care for their pets.
Dogs are social animals and do not like to be left on their own, which is why our Doggy Daycare service is so important for our busy customers. All our Doggy Daycare students arrive with their tails wagging because they can’t wait to see their friends and our staff who love them dearly.
Our Staff:
Bree - Top Dog
I am officially an animal lover I grew up on acreage in the hinterland on the gold coast and over my short years I have had horses, chickens, birds, fish, Guinea pigs, cows, cats, the odd goat and always lots of dogs and that is just the pets not to mention the numerous wild animals that lived at our doorstep. I have been extensively coached in the pet industry as well as I read a lot of books and keep up to date with anything going on in the industry. I am currently perusing further Animal Behaviour studies.
