Pets at Home stories hit the headlines

 

Pets at Home has been in the news again this week with a number of stories hitting the headlines, including a puppy and its owner being attacked by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier-type dog inside one of its stores.

 

Here’s our look at some of those stories:

 

The Stoke Sentinel reported that Pets at Home has reassured customers after a dog owner was badly bitten in the attack at its Festival Park shop. The man’s French Bulldog was lunged at twice by the other dog.

 

A Pets at Home spokesperson told the newspaper: "Unfortunatel incidents like this are extremely rare and our colleagues at the Stoke-on-Trent store handled the situation very professionally.

Meanwhile the Bristol Post reported that a branch of Vets4Pets in Bedminster that’s part of the Pets at Home group is to be closed down. It’s understood that Pets at Home could close up to 30 of its vet practices under plans to overhaul the business and save money.

 

It was a similar story on the Devon Live website with a report that seven jobs will be lost with the closure of  Exeter Vets4Pets on April 18, with the loss of seven jobs.
