Pet Family acquires stake in Cats and Dogs

The English pet retailer Pet Family, which operates Pets Corner, has purchased a 30 per cent share of Cats and Dogs, a family-owned retail company in Flanders, Belgium, according to reports in British pet magazines.

Cats and Dogs was started 20 years ago by Kevin Massart and his mother, Brigitte Pettens, with one store. Now the company has grown to seven branches around Antwerp.

The investment will provide Cats and Dogs with growth capital to open at least 20 stores in the next five years.
