With South Africa’s pet industry worth seven point one billion rand, and expected to grow by another two point five percent between now and 2026, Checkers recognises the important role fury animals play in enriching people’s lives.
The supermarket retailer continues to expand its pet offering with products such as clothing, food, toys, accessories, treats and more. This includes giving small supplier Maneli Pets – who produce premium quality pet snacks – access to market via more than 270 Checkers stores nationwide.
In 2020 the retailer launched an exclusive pet insurance product, starting from as little as R69 a month, to give pet owners peace of mind in the event of any injuries, accidents and illnesses.
