If you’ve ever wandered through Queen Victoria Market and noticed a stall buzzing with dogs, wagging tails, and loads of smiling faces, you’ve probably found us. I’m Malcolm, and I run The Pet Central, a proudly local stall packed with natural dog treats, Aussie-themed walkwear, and a whole lot of love for our furry mates.
Whether you’re a local dog parent or a tourist looking for a truly unique Aussie gift, our stall has quickly become a favourite stop for pet lovers from all over.
One-of-a-Kind Walkwear, Inspired by Australia
One of the first things people notice is our colourful, Australian-designed dog harnesses and leads. Our Pink Kangaroo walkwear set has become a total crowd-pleaser.
We’ve also got stunning prints featuring native Australian flowers like wattle, eucalyptus, and bottlebrush. Each piece is designed to be lightweight, comfortable, and eye-catching. Whether you're heading out for a stroll or sending a gift overseas, our walkwear brings a little Aussie charm to every outing.
Our Top-Selling Natural Dog Treats
Now let’s talk treats, because that’s usually what brings the dogs running to our stall.
Our customers (and their pups) can’t get enough of:
-
Kangaroo Jerky – lean, rich in protein, and super satisfying
-
Emu Jerky – a low-allergen option dogs go crazy for
-
Crocodile Feet – yep, real croc feet! Great for keeping dogs busy
-
Shark Cartilage – excellent for joint support and dental health
-
Freeze-Dried Treats – perfect for picky eaters and great as training rewards
All our treats are natural, locally sourced, and made from real ingredients. No nasties, no fillers. Just honest, healthy snacks your pup will love.
A Must-Visit Pet Stall at Queen Vic Market
One of the best parts of running The Pet Central is meeting fellow dog lovers from all over the world. You’ll usually find me at the market chatting with customers, recommending our best chews, or petting our furry visitors.
Here’s what makes us a market favourite:
-
A range of unique, hard-to-find treats and chews
-
Our famous gachapon machine (win a keyring with your 5-star review!)
-
Aussie-designed walkwear that stands out
-
Dogs welcome - ALWAYS!
We’re here most weekdays from 9am to 3pm and weekends from 9am to 4pm. You’ll also catch us at the Wednesday Night Market during summer and winter. While the night market isn’t dog-friendly, it’s still a great chance to explore our full range, pick up a gift, or stock up on your dog’s favourites. It’s always a vibe, even if your dog has to stay home that night.
