Anthony Preston founded Pets at Home in 1991, opening its first store in Chester, England. A former pet food wholesaler, Preston identified a market for a single destination offering vast selection of pet-related goods. His insight was establishing a convenient, comprehensive retail experience, moving from small shops to a modern, large-scale model.

Pets at Home primarily serves pet owners seeking convenient, reliable solutions for all animal care needs. The company’s vision is to be the ultimate partner for pets and their owners, expanding integrated offerings to support animal health and happiness. It aims to lead the pet care industry by delivering essential services alongside its broad product range.
