A South coast husband-and-wife team currently running a pet store and grooming business has embarked on an ambitious plan to offer a nationwide same-day-delivery service.

Kerry and Shaun Bennett, owners of Poole Raw Pet Food and Dogs & Mogs Pet Spa, are offering independent pet stores across the UK the chance to be a part of this new venture.

Same Day Pet Products UK, described by the couple as a multi-vendor store run on similar lines to Deliveroo, launched on Monday. 

Pet stores can sign up to the online platform and advertise their products to local customers for a fee of £350 per year. Any orders will then be delivered by Same Day Pet Products drivers.

Shaun said: “We take a commission of 15% on each order but we think that is a realistic and fair price. 

“We are currently recruiting self-employed drivers nationwide, and they will receive £4.50 per delivery. Since each delivery is within 10 miles of a store we are encouraging people to shop locally with the convenience of same day delivery to their home.”

As consumer buying patterns have changed during the pandemic, Kerry and Shaun believe their model has great potential.
