At Animates, our belief is that life is better with pets. We understand the joy when your dog greets you at the door or the comfort of your cat curled up on your lap. We understand the unconditional love that pets bring to our lives, each and every day.

We’ve dedicated ourselves to creating an awesome experience for people and their pets – to provide our customers with everything they need to become great pet parents, alongside supporting the pet community with fundraising, donations and local events.

We are passionate about providing top-to-tail care, by offering the best pet care solutions for the pets of New Zealand.

We do this by offering a growing range in pet products, pet care, advice and services for pets at our stores across New Zealand, as well as online. 

To make your shopping experience easy and enjoyable, we’ve employed pet passionate staff and trained them to assist you in caring for your pet.

You’ll find all your favourite brands both online and in-store.

At Animates, pet parents will find everything they need for their pets – high-quality food, animal medicines, flea treatments, fun and educational toys, kennels, hutches, cages and tanks, dog and cat grooming products, pet health supplements, pet shampoos and conditioners, and loads of good advice.
