About the Team 
The OzPets team have owned and been owned by animals for over 35 years. We've rescued, shown, bred, exhibited, competed, loved and have educated people in the joy of owning animals. We encourage all Australian's to own and be involved in pets as there is nothing better, no life experience more challenging and no greater pleasure than being involved with pets.

The OzPets management team has been involved in the internet/IT sector since 1994, making them veterans in internet technology. All intellectual property is developed inhouse and owned by The Virtual Animal House Pty. Ltd.
