Animal World – Boronia

For more than 40 years, Animal World of Boronia has been a much-loved part of the local retail landscape, earning its place as the second oldest pet store in Melbourne. Independently owned and proudly local, the business continues to support Boronia pet owners with expert advice, carefully selected products, and genuine care for animals of all kinds.
Continuing a local legacy
When the opportunity arose to take over Animal World of Boronia, the decision was an easy one for Rhiannon. With a background in the pet industry and a deep passion for animal care, Rhiannon knew this was an industry worth dedicating their energy to.
After working for a large franchised pet supply brand and completing a Certificate III in Animal Companion Services, stepping into ownership of an established, independent store felt like the perfect fit. While Animal World has been operating for over four decades, it has been under its current ownership for just over three years, continuing its strong reputation while evolving to meet the needs of modern pet owners.
Independent, personalised, and knowledge driven
What truly sets Animal World of Boronia apart is its independent approach. Free from limitations, the team can carefully tailor its product range to suit the needs of local customers and their pets.
Every product stocked is thoroughly researched by staff, allowing them to confidently match the right food, supplies, and treats to each pet’s individual needs. The store also offers exclusive in-house mixes and treats, made using their own recipes.
For added peace of mind, Animal World of Boronia also provides a small animal boarding service, ensuring pets are loved and well cared for while their owners are away.

Service you can trust
Customer service sits at the heart of the business. The team takes pride in getting to know not just the people who walk through the door, but also the pets that are part of their families.
Customers can expect honest, informed advice and guidance they can feel confident in. By staying up to date with developments across the animal care industry, the team ensures the advice given is current, practical, and tailored to each situation.
Many customers say they value the genuine care, transparency, and expertise, knowing they’re being offered the best options for their pets, without pressure.
Proudly part of Boronia
Having grown up in Boronia Rhiannon has a deep appreciation for the suburb’s strong sense of community. With many businesses coming and going over the years, being part of Boronia’s retail history is something the team is incredibly proud of.
Animal World of Boronia continues to be a trusted local business, supporting pets, their owners, and the community they call home.
