Handforth, Cheshire-headquartered veterinary group Pets at Home has reported pre-tax profit of £92.8 million for its 2026 financial year ending 26 March 2026, down 30.2% from £133 million reported for its 2025 financial year.

Revenue for the year was £1.47 billion, down 0.8% from £1.48 billion reported for 2025.

Pets at Home’s chief executive James Bailey said: “Pets at Home is a business with many strengths, a strong shared purpose and great potential and I am excited to lead it through its next chapter.

“I have spent my early weeks immersing myself in the business, meeting colleagues and practice owners, understanding our customers and learning about the capabilities we have across the Group. I have found a business full of talented and committed people who want to do the best for our customers and their pets. This time in the business has increased my conviction on the opportunity to create value for customers, colleagues and investors of Pets at Home.

“We are the clear leader in the growing UK pet care market with a unique set of highly complementary businesses. We have considerable, sustainable competitive advantages including our unrivalled reach through our 460 pet care centres, our sector-leading vet business, our large and loyal customer base and well invested infrastructure.

“Material progress has been made over the past six months stabilising the retail business, delivering improved satisfaction and better availability. We have the opportunity now to build momentum through profitable volume led growth in retail while continuing to execute the proven growth levers of our vet business and launch our insurance offering.

We will not achieve this without the continued hard work, passion and dedication of our colleagues and partners. We have clear priorities for fiscal year 2027 and from what I have seen so far, I am confident we can build a great future for Pets at Home, which I look forward to updating on later in the year.”
