When it comes time to downsize, many of us are faced with the worry of what to do with our furry friend. Does he really need a backyard? Is retirement living even an option? The questions are never ending. But here at Stockland Oak Grange, you can enjoy the many perks of living with your best bud right by your side.
Make the most of the lifestyle you love and read on for our guide to life in this pet-friendly village. 


Get moving 

Use your companion as the ultimate spark of motivation. Even the sleepiest of pets need a daily dose of fresh air, and it's your job to keep him active. You’ll soon come to realise that this is a blessing in disguise. Make the most of your village walking paths and nearby parks. Movement and walking is great for you too. Soon you will relish in the newfound spring in your step.


Get social 
There’s no easier way to create a connection with someone than via a shared interest. Get to know your fellow animal-loving neighbours and prepare to bond over the benefits of being pet parents. Get ready for puppy play dates, group walks and cat-sitting; the sky is the limit when it comes to sharing your love of pets.

Get peace of mind 
No matter the size of your furry friend, they’re guaranteed to add an extra level of security to your home. Just like your very own alarm system, your little pet’s super hearing and protective tendencies ensure that they’re always alert, and you’re aware. Guard-cat, can’t you see it now?
 
Get cosy 
Despite the fact that we’re blessed with a toasty Aussie climate, sometimes there’s nothing better than the comfort of a warm embrace. With your best friend sharing your home, you’ll never feel alone. Catch up on your favourite show or snuggle up with a good book with a cuddly pal right beside you. What could be better?
 
Get busy

While babies and office life might be things of the past, it’s always nice to feel needed. Taking care of your pet will bring a sense of satisfaction like no other. Your pet is sure to keep you on your toes, making sure you dive head first into everything life in retirement has to offer.
