About Pets at Home
Pets at Home has become the UK’s leading pet care specialist by always putting pets first. Now we want to be the best pet care business in the world. That means offering a whole ecosystem of services – from diet and lifestyle to grooming and veterinary care – all from one convenient, accessible source.
We’re passionate about pets, but none of this can happen without people. It’s through people that we bring the pet care experience to life across our different businesses.
Pets at Home
From Aberdeen in the far north to Penzance in the far South West, We have Pets at Home stores in every corner of the UK, each providing a practical, friendly, fun experience for pet owners. Our knowledgeable colleagues can help them select the right food for their pet, help test the water is safe for their fish tank, help socialise a new puppy - and much much more.
Vets4Pets
Vets4Pets is the largest small animal veterinary services group in the UK, with more than 440 practices in our stores and in stand-alone locations. We provide full veterinary care from preventative healthcare, including health checks and vaccinations, right through to digital X-rays, intensive care and surgical procedures. Vets4Pets offers great care for animals and outstanding career opportunities for veterinary professionals.
Groom Room
We have a growing network of 300 Groom Rooms located within Pets at Home stores and stand-alone salons across the UK. Our highly trained staff offer full dog grooming, baths, microchipping and nail clipping, using the latest equipment in a fully serviced, air-conditioned environment.
Support & Distribution
Behind the scenes at our Support Offices in Manchester and Swindon, and our Distribution Centres in Stoke-on-Trent and Northampton, we provide all the services our businesses need to deliver a first-class customer experience.
We’re hiring people who can help us achieve our ambitions to take the lead in petcare. We want to fill our stores with life and make them places where pet owners want to connect. We’re also focused on growing our range of services, making it easier for pet owners to take care of their pets, and using our wealth of data to drive a real pet revolution.
Whatever your role and wherever you are based, we’ll ensure you have the support, training and resources to deliver our promises. We’ll also ensure you can enjoy a dynamic, rewarding and progressive career along the way.
We can say that confidently because our people have helped us to win The Fujitsu Best Place to Work Award at the The Retail Week Awards as well as the Best Retailer over £250m Award!

Our values and behaviours are really what make us different as a retailer - and an enjoyable, exciting place to work.
Everyone here brings the values to work, every day. Our behaviours are the way we do it. If you share our values and behaviours, you won’t just fit in here, you’ll love every minute.
We put pets first - pets are our business and our passion! We invest heavily in colleague training and adhere to higher welfare standards to ensure the pets in our care are properly looked after.
We make it fun - we want to make sure that all our colleagues enjoy coming into work, and our teams are excellent at creating a fun, friendly workplace for everybody. With such a varied workload across each of our businesses, no day is ever the same!
We work as a team - we all work together to ensure that our customers have a fantastic shopping experience in our stores and our clients experience a professional and friendly service in our vet practices and grooming salons.
We take pride in what we do - we put our success as a company down to the hard work of our colleagues, and we take great pride in being part of a business that serves our communities so well. One of our proudest achievements is that we were voted the Sunday Times’ Best Big Company to Work For in 2013 by our colleagues - and as the company grows, it’s great to see such dedicated teams taking pride in every aspect of the business!
We get better everyday - our Group has grown at a phenomenal rate over the last few years, as we’ve opened new stores, grooming salons and vet practices. Our colleagues are always learning too, developing their pet and product knowledge by taking advantage of the fantastic learning and development opportunities that are available to them. We constantly review how we’re doing and strive to get better every day.
We do what we say we'll do - across the Group, our colleagues are dedicated to providing a great service, and that means we’re always honest about what we can achieve - whether it’s ordering a new product for a customer or planning a course of treatment for a pet. We’re also honest with each other as colleagues and hold each other to account which makes for a great place to work that’s open and transparent.
