Our Team

Mark & Sheryl Muscat (Owners Since 2001)

Mark and Sheryl Muscat took over the pet shop in December 2001 from Mark’s parents who had owned it for 12 years previously. It was formally known as budget pet shop and after a move in 2012 to bigger premises changed the the name to Head to Tail Pets. Mark and Sheryl have 2 children. A daughter Ebony aged 20 who lives in Albany and a son Jay who passed away in December 2014. After Jay passed away Mark set up his own business King George Sound Safari. A scenic boat tour of Albany where he is kept very busy. In Mark’s spare time he loves fishing and Sheryl is a keen netballer. Mark and Sheryl are also the proud owners of a beautiful Maltese x Shihtzu, Ella.

Brendan Teale (Manager)

Brendan has been working in the pet industry for the past 2+ years, but has been working in a managerial role for over 8 years.
Brendan is an avid gardener! 🌿 When he is not here with us at the store, he is busy in his garden at home and attending to his MANY indoor plants.
Brendan also has a mini zoo at home! (We think he is definitely working in the right place 😛 )
At home he has many, many fish (…and has very recently started his own marine tank!), two dogs named Abby and Chloe and two cats named Boofa and Saffi! We guarantee this is not the end of Brendan’s zoo though. We expect that he will have a menagerie of stick insects, hermit crabs and rabbits in the not too distant future!
