Pets & Friends, part of Kennelpak Limited, has expanded its consumer offering with a new refill station at its Shrewsbury store, as part of an ongoing push for sustainable shopping.

Perfect for pockets, pets and the planet, the new refill station is an ideal solution for pet parents who are more budget and planet-conscious, but don’t want to compromise on the quality of their pes wellbeing. 

 “It’s about convenience and value, customers can top up and only pay for what they need, minimizing both packaging and food waste,” says Steve Collard, head of retail at Pets & Friends.

“We’ve had a fantastic response to the trial in Shrewsbury and can’t wait to expand, as we know this will also help customers who have tighter budgets and can’t always bulk buy.”

Customers can take their own containers to stock up or use a complimentary paper bag available in-store, helping to eliminate both product and packaging waste.

Right now, customers can refill their Collards dry dog food, Wellness CORE dry cat food, natural cat litter and wild bird seed based on price per 100g. 

With the Shrewsbury trial going well so far, the plan is to roll out the refill station concept across a number of Pets & Friend stores.
