Pets at Home says it is seeing"exceptional levels of demand" amid the coronavirus outbreak.
The pet store and vets group said people had been spending more as pets played an"increasingly vital role in our lives" during the crisis.Pets at Home said it had now shut non-essential parts of the business such as its Groom Room grooming salons. In an update for the year to 26 March, the retailer said annual profits would be higher than expected due to the recent spike in demand for pet products and healthcare.Retail analyst Richard Hyman told the BBC that the higher demand the chain was experiencing might be temporary.
"I think what may have happened is that some of the panic buying that we've seen domestically has been extended for the same reason for people and pets. "I think for supermarkets it will remain at an elevated level as long as the market for eating out is paralysed. Whereas for pets I would expect demand to ease, so this may well be a blip."The government has issued a list of which"essential" retailers are allowed to stay open. They include:
What are they spending more on ... They should always have enough food in for there animals. And regular exercise should be the norm If your not and you have to spend more on food for your dog or cat...id be thinking you should not have them
Cant get dry dog food from pets at home dont no what us going on
Probably easier to go here for pet supplies instead of queuing up to enter a supermarket..
Went this morning to Pets at Home and they have a good system in place. Only place I have been able to find cat food!
