Pets at Home has opened a new pet care centre in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
Both the former store at Northall Steet and the Kettering Vets for Pets practice have relocated to the Kettering Shopping Park, and the retailer has invested nearly £1 million in refurbishing, enhancing and futureproofing the new, larger branch.
The new pet care centre, which at 13,300sq ft is more than double the size of the old store, features a dedicated Nutrition Hub with an increased range of fresh, frozen and raw food options and a designated consultation area; an expanded Health Centre, including licensed medications and weighing scales; a small animal pet village; and a pet adoption centre and pet food bank donation point, in partnership with charity Blue Cross.
The relocation has also enabled the town’s Vets for Pets practice, owned by Chris Willis and Sarah Scott, to expand from 1,990sq ft to 5,634sq ft.
Store manager Clarise Kelly said: “We’re over the moon to unveil our brand-new Pet Care Centre in Kettering.
“With a fresh look and feel, enhanced range of services and an upgraded in-store experience, we’ve got everything the local community needs to keep pets happy, healthy and safe.
“We are so excited our doors are open to welcome in new and old customers to come and see the changes. Our knowledgeable team of pet care advisors have all been specially trained to help support customers in the best way possible – from expert harness fitting to nutrition advice, we are here seven days a week.”
