AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE MANAGEMENT AND STAFF OF MOUNT LAWLEY PETS AND PUPPIES

It is with profound regret that we have to announce the closing of our family business, the shop registered as Mount Lawley Pets and Puppies (MLPP). This is not by choice but by WA Government legislation.

Rose and Bob started this business on October 1 2009. Prior to this it was principally a pet food, accessory and bulk stock feed shop trading as “Inglewood Pet Supplies”.

Historically this very location has been a pet shop for approximately 115 continuous years with us being only the fourth proprietors in this exceptionally long period of WA history.

As many of our customers can attest what started out very minimally in 2009 has grown to the “Go To Place” in Western Australia for very high-quality puppies. We are so very proud of what we have achieved in 15 years of trading.

On 15 December 2021, the Dog Amendment (Stop Puppy Farming) Bill 2020 was passed through the WA Parliament. In November 2024 it was assented to by the Governor of Western Australia.

This legislation has made it law that pet shops can no longer sell puppies but instead, if they choose, become “adoption centres” for rescue dogs. 

We chose not to become an adoption centre for rescue dogs. The reasons are many and varied but in essence it is not commercially viable for us to go down this path.

The Western Australian Government initially gave us 12 months to transition (in writing). It has now revised that transition to 6 months.

We now regretfully advise the end date for us to sell puppies from this address is 26 May 2025, a matter of weeks away.

After trading as a pet shop on the corner of Beaufort Street and Sixth Avenue Inglewood for more than a century we will now close our doors and return the property to the lessor.

It is a gut-wrenching decision but rest assured we will still be available to support past, present and future customers.

It is our firm contention this legislation will not stop puppy farming.

Australia wide pet shops account for approximately 4% of puppy sales. Licensed and registered breeders account for some 10% of puppy sales. The remaining percentages come from on-line sales and backyard (un-registered or un-licensed breeders). These figures are about a decade old however given the number of pet shops that have ceased puppy sales locally and in the Eastern States we contend these figures are still indicative.

There are only three pet shops in WA that sell puppies.

On-line scams abound and people sourcing puppies have lost many thousands of dollars. It is more or less un-regulated. Many backyard breeders have very questionable practises. They do not come within the ambit of Australian Consumer Law.

Please be assured the puppies we sell are microchipped, vet checked regularly, the majority DNA tested and they are vaccinated. As a business we are bound by Australian Consumer Law. We have our very own quality breeders we have used for many years and we do not source puppies from puppy farms. Given the above figures it is very hard to see how this legislation will have the desired effect of stopping puppy farms.

Rose and Bob, along with all staff at MLPP we greatly thank all of our customers for all of the years we have been trading and we are here to help into the future.

Rest assured you have not heard the last of us!
