About Us

“We put pets first” is our number one value at Pets at Home. Every colleague has a part to play to ensure that we deliver this value every day. Our love and understanding of pets led us to develop our long-term goal of improving the life of every pet in the UK. This covers not only the pets in our care, the pets of owners that use our products and services but also the pets that we can help through our charity work and through educating and advocating for change in society and the wider pet care and veterinary industry.

We have an ambitious plan, to become “The Best Pet Care Business in the world” and a key part of delivering this will be through customer engagement in our brand and its continued evolution.
