ANIMAL KINSHIP PET SUPPLIES AND EDUCATION CENTRE
More than just a pet store
Animal Kinship is a pet supply shop in Kiama, NSW. We are a community focused pet centre providing service, high quality pet supplies and premium foods. We share years of experience with animals and pet care by way of information, advice, and in-home behavioural training.
We aspire to make Animal Kinship a socially profitable business; it’s value is not only measured in economic terms but in terms of its value to the life of the community and the satisfaction we derive from our work.
We welcome input and suggestions from our customers so that we may share our best, and only the best, with the animals we love and care for.
