Pet wars: Woolies unleashes big move with Absolute Pets acquisition

Woolworths has fired its first salvo in the pet wars with rival Shoprite, with its announcement on Tuesday that it plans to take control of Absolute Pets and its footprint of more than 150 stores.

Woolworths has previously hinted at results presentations that it was looking to expand more significantly into the lucrative multibillion-rand petfood and accessories space without giving much detail. Weeks before this announcement, Woolworths also unveiled its WPetInsure, a comprehensive cat and dog insurance offering it debuted in mid-August.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
