Pets Choice acquires several brands from Kennelpak

Blackburn-based Pets Choice has completed the purchase of several brands from the administrators of Kennelpak, including Breederpack, Kennelboy, Kennelmaid, Duchess and Dylan.

These brands will now join the Pets Choice family of pet brand offerings, including Webbox, Bob Martin, Felight, TastyBone, Vet’s Kitchen and Hownd.

Pets Choice supplies partners in the Pet Speciality, Grocery, Independent Retail, eCommerce and Veterinary sectors with high-quality products in a variety of formats. It plans to use this latest acquisition to grow its share of the premium sector.

Tony Raeburn, chief executive of Pets Choice, said: "It is obviously sad that Kennelpak recently went into administration, however I am delighted that we have rescued a number of established Pet Trade brands which we will be immediately reviewing, and we will be looking to resurrect key products ASAP. 

"We will be contacting customers soon and look forward to welcoming new customers to Pets Choice, as well as being able to offer these brands to our extensive and loyal customer base, helping us to further consolidate our position as a leader in the pet care industry.”

Lancashire Business View reported in August that the Blackburn manufacturer had completed the purchase of the Mikki pet grooming and accessories brand from Interpet.
