I noticed that Bunnings have started selling pet food as well.

Bulk packs of cat\dog dried food.

The little things make the biggest difference.

I prefer to get my dried cats/dogs from a supermarket - I just trust their hygiene standards a little more

No disrespect intended to the Bunnings team, but it's hard enough to get after-sales service on tech stuff from a tech company....

I didn't know supermarkets sold cats and dogs (dried or otherwise).

You’ve not seen the inwards goods side of a supermarket then.

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

The only thing they are decent at is swapping products for a replacement when one has failed. They have let me down in every other area (knowledge about anything they sell) but have not failed in the CGA obligations in the few times I've had to use them, from cheap to more expensive products.

More than I can say about the all "tech companies" / electronics retailers.
