Hello Share Crushers. This family has just taken another inmate from the local cat rescue depot. It was meant to be a companion for our recently bereaved Caddy. But they'd been spitting at each other. The replacement moggie is also huge, so we'll be calling at our Pets at Home (PETS) store for more nosh - and feline first aid products.
Hello, Share Scramblers. It seems to me that more people are adopting cats and dogs. There’s also more interest in more exotic pets. At my vet this week, I spotted a hen and something in a sinister box which the owner seemed afraid of. People are also taking more care of their pets, as many become a substitute for offspring who’ve fled the nest.
There may be a meltdown in China, interest rates may be on the rise, and the stock market could take a further battering. But there is one particular area which it seems set to flourish whatever the condition of the financial markets: pet supplies.
Another week, another set of numbers from a 2014 float. After Poundland (PLND) last week it is the turn of Ptes At Home (PETS) to pucker up and unburden its latest earnings thoughts onto an expectant market.
