It's no wonder that customers were thrilled to find these hidden treasures. One customer shared their experience on the Markdown Addicts Australia Facebook page, revealing that they had no idea what the golden bone was, but they picked it up and read the tag.



To their amazement, they were given a $10 gift card and a Freddo chocolate at the service desk. Another lucky customer scored a $20 gift card and a ball for their furry friend.

Whenever l've seen dogs in my Bunnings Warehouse they have always been small & in a trolley. They may allow bigger dogs into stores stocking these products. Time will tell for those stores here in W.A.
Bunnings only allow dogs into their stores if in the Trolleys only . Yep no exceptions at all , other than Guide Dogs of course.

Thankyou @ melugro. Guide dogs are indeed the exception. I forgot about these dogs.
I have never taken any of our small dogs here in a trolley but wouldn't hesitate. Some l have seen here with owners are so damn cute, wish they were mine.
 
Can just imagine what the state of the shelves will look like with customers burrowing through them looking for these elusive tokens...what a shitshow!

Another big business gobbling up the market. There won't be any local pet shops soon. Bunnings have destroyed the smaller friendly hardware stores that stocked everything. Last week staff in our nearest bunnings claimed that there was only one size tap washer made. (because that's all they stocked.) There are 3 sizes but bunnings don't have them all. Spotlight have done the same to all the haberdashery and fabric shops, squeezed them out, and now spotlight only sells rubbish.
 
Bunnings only allow dogs into their stores if in the Trolleys only . Yep no exceptions at all , other than Guide Dogs of course.
Bunnings allow dogs in store on a lead as long as they have a muzzle on, if not they have to be in a trolley or carried. Any service dog is the exception, eg; guide dogs, companion dogs. I am one of the workers who has to ask customers to follow these rules and the amount of abuse we workers cop from angry people who think they should be the exception to these rules is unbelievable. Well sorry, if you don’t like the rules DON’T bring your dogs to Bunnings. The rules are to protect our customers, team members and to avoid any dogs fighting in store.

It's no wonder that this promotion has attracted a lot of attention, with many saying that they will head to Bunnings to check out the new range. Some customers even expressed their excitement to bring their furry friends along with them.

Key Takeaways

  • Bunnings has launched a new pet range with an expanded product line-up of more than a thousand items.
  • To celebrate the launch, some Bunnings stores have hidden golden bones, hammers, and gnomes amongst the shelves, allowing customers to claim free gift cards and prizes.
  • The promotion has not only attracted customers but has also inspired kind initiatives in some local stores, including inviting animal shelters and rescue charities to join the launch.
  • Bunnings General Manager of Operations, Matt Tyler, has shared that the store is always striving to provide a positive experience for their customers.

To celebrate the launch of the new pet range, Bunnings stores hosted a range of activities, including free colouring-in competitions, kids' DIY workshops, surprise giveaways such as the ‘golden bone’ hunt, and inviting local animal charity groups in-store.

Some upcoming events include:
  • Thursday, March 30: Bunnings Easter Bunny Hop family event with entertainment, kids DIY and more (From 6 pm, check with your local store for specific details.)
  • Saturday, April 15: Kids DIY workshop - make and decorate a dog coaster holder
Free kids DIY workshops usually run every Saturday and Sunday (and additionally on Tuesdays and Thursdays during School Holidays). Please contact their local store for more details.

Mr Tyler also emphasised that Bunnings' store teams regularly organise and run free activities, DIY workshops, and in-store events to create the best experience for their customers, with each store having the autonomy to offer activities tailored to their local community.

While the promotions may vary by store location, Bunnings' commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience remains the same.



Next time you're browsing the aisles of your local Bunnings store, keep your eyes peeled for a hidden treasure - the elusive golden bone! It could be your ticket to a surprise freebie, like a gift card or a sweet treat.

Another big business gobbling up the market. There won't be any local pet shops soon. Bunnings have destroyed the smaller friendly hardware stores that stocked everything. Last week staff in our nearest bunnings claimed that there was only one size tap washer made. (because that's all they stocked.) There are 3 sizes but bunnings don't have them all. Spotlight have done the same to all the haberdashery and fabric shops, squeezed them out, and now spotlight only sells rubbish.
Bunnings staff told me years ago they only stock items which move quickly, in your case the popular sized washers.
 
Bunnings allow dogs in store on a lead as long as they have a muzzle on, if not they have to be in a trolley or carried. Any service dog is the exception, eg; guide dogs, companion dogs. I am one of the workers who has to ask customers to follow these rules and the amount of abuse we workers cop from angry people who think they should be the exception to these rules is unbelievable. Well sorry, if you don’t like the rules DON’T bring your dogs to Bunnings. The rules are to protect our customers, team members and to avoid any dogs fighting in store.
This is a reasonable requirement. I would suggest this comes under the heading of "DUTY OF CARE". If a customer is injured due to the fact an employee allowed a non service, unmuzzled dog into the store & it did as suggested a Law Suit would soon be pending. Customers MUST be more understanding in this matter.

Agree with the above . Think of the amount of Nurseries outside of Perth now ?
