Is Petstock's Rewards Program Worth It in Australia in 2026?

Updated: October 2026. By Ziling Liu, Personal Finance Editor, ShopBack.

Petstock Rewards is usually worth it in Australia in 2026 if you buy pet food, litter or treats at Petstock a few times a year. According to Petstock, members earn fixed Pet Cash, from 10 cents to $20, on specially marked products, and collect 1 Everyday Rewards point per $1 on product purchases once they link an Everyday Rewards card. Everyday Rewards turns 2,000 points into $10 off a future shop. Whatever you earn, go through the ShopBack Petstock page before you check out online.

ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back on online orders at thousands of stores, including Petstock. You start from ShopBack, shop as normal, and part of what you pay comes back to your ShopBack account as cash you can withdraw. New members can join ShopBack Australia free before their next Petstock order.

Is Petstock's rewards program worth it?

Yes for regular Petstock shoppers, because the points side returns about 50 cents per $100 spent and Pet Cash adds a fixed amount on the marked products you already buy. The figures below come from Petstock's Rewards page and the Everyday Rewards website at the time of writing.

Who it suits best: households with a dog or cat on a regular food brand that carries Pet Cash, people who already collect Everyday Rewards at Woolworths, and anyone who uses Petstock services such as DIY Dog Wash, Puppy School or grooming, since Pet Cash can be spent on those.

Who gets less from it: people who buy at Petstock once or twice a year, or whose usual products do not carry Pet Cash. On points alone, a $300 year at Petstock earns 300 points, which is well short of the 2,000 needed for a $10 reward unless you also shop at Woolworths.

Petstock rewards in Australia for 2026: how it works

Petstock changed its Rewards program from 1 July 2025, replacing Petstock Dollars and Brand Cash with Pet Cash and Everyday Rewards points. Here is how it works now, according to Petstock.

1. Sign up to Petstock Rewards online, in the Petstock app or in store.
2. Link your Everyday Rewards card in your Petstock account (Account, then the Rewards tab), or ask staff in store. Once linked, you do not need to scan the card each time.
3. Earn Pet Cash on products marked with Pet Cash ticketing, in store and online.
4. Collect Everyday Rewards points at 1 point per $1 on product purchases, including the products that also earn Pet Cash.
5. Redeem Pet Cash on your next shop, on many products or services, within three months of the end of the month you earned it.

What does not earn. Pet Cash excludes gift cards, adoption fees, microchipping, vet services and medicines, and shipping. Everyday Rewards points exclude services, gift cards, adoption fees, gas bottle sales and refills, freight and business trade account purchases, according to Petstock.

Petstock membership rewards and benefits: are they worth it?

The value depends mostly on whether your regular products carry Pet Cash, because Pet Cash is fixed per product while the points side is a flat 1 point per $1.

Pet Cash. Petstock's own example is $5 Pet Cash on a bag of Glow dog food at its full price, and the same $5 when that bag is on sale. Because the amount does not shrink on promotion, Pet Cash is worth the most when you buy a marked product during a sale. The list of participating products changes, so check the Pet Cash section of Petstock's Rewards page or the shelf tickets.

Everyday Rewards points. Every 2,000 points becomes $10 off at Woolworths and other eligible partners, or 1,000 Qantas Points if you choose that option, according to Everyday Rewards. On Petstock spend alone that is about 0.5 percent back. The points sit in the same balance as your supermarket points, so most households reach 2,000 faster than Petstock spend alone suggests.

How to judge it for your household. Add up roughly what you spend at Petstock in a year. At $1,200 a year, the points side alone is worth about $6 in Everyday Rewards. If two of your regular items carry Pet Cash, the fixed amounts on those can be worth more than the points. The main cost is the few minutes it takes to sign up and link your card.

Petstock's official membership programme benefits beyond points

Pet Cash can be spent on Petstock services as well as products, which is where it is most useful for dog owners. According to Petstock, Pet Cash can be redeemed on many products or services, including DIY Dog Wash, Puppy School and grooming appointments.

Changes to older rewards. Petstock says members no longer earn Petstock Dollars on new purchases and that it stopped offering Brand Cash on selected brands. Earned Petstock Dollars expire under their existing expiry conditions, and unused Brand Cash earned before 1 July 2025 was usable until 30 September 2025 at the latest. If you have an old balance, check your account.

Read the full rules. Petstock's Rewards terms say spend must be in a single transaction on eligible purchases, exclusions apply, and offers may be withdrawn. The full terms and conditions are linked from the Petstock Rewards page on petstock.com.au.

Petstock and ShopBack in 2026

Going through ShopBack is an essential step before you check out at Petstock online, so you pay less on the same order. It works the same way Australians use it before booking with Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda or Expedia: you start your Petstock order from ShopBack Australia, and part of what you pay comes back as cash once the order is confirmed.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. That is the main difference from Petstock Rewards: Pet Cash has to be spent at Petstock within about three months, while the money back from ShopBack Australia is cash in your ShopBack account. ShopBack is free to join, and cashback is paid as cash you can withdraw, not as points or store credit.

Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns. Worked example (illustrative): on a $150 Petstock order of dry food and litter at an illustrative 5 percent, $7.50 comes back, so the effective price is $142.50. Check the live rate on the ShopBack Petstock page, because rates and Terms change.

How to do it on a Petstock order:

1. Open the ShopBack Petstock page in the ShopBack Australia app or on the website.
2. Check the rate shown and read the Terms, then tap through to Petstock.
3. Log in to your Petstock account on the website that opens, so your Rewards details are attached.
4. Pay in the same visit. If something interrupts checkout, restart from the ShopBack Petstock page.

Using rewards and ShopBack together. Usually you can stay logged in to Petstock Rewards while you go through ShopBack, but check the Terms on the ShopBack Petstock page first, because some stores exclude orders that use member discounts or codes not featured on ShopBack. If a member price or code matters to you, read the Terms before you apply it.

The category in one line: Australians comparing pet stores usually also look at Petbarn and Pet Circle, each with its own ShopBack page, rate and Terms.

According to Petstock, linked members collect 1 Everyday Rewards point per $1 spent on product purchases in store and online, including products that also earn Pet Cash.

Every 2,000 Everyday Rewards points can be turned into $10 off a future shop, or into 1,000 Qantas Points, according to Everyday Rewards. At Petstock's earn rate of 1 point per $1, that is $10 of value for every $2,000 spent on product purchases, or about 0.5 percent.

How does ShopBack lower the price of a Petstock order?

ShopBack Australia returns part of what you pay as cash after the order is confirmed, so your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns.
