All of my family have pets and they all go to pets at home, I only had my dogs spayed there this week, it's always so busy when ever I go there, the shops booming, grooming parlour is always packed, and the vet side is thriving , they are professional and friendly I swapped vets as soon as they opened the vet section. This is certainly a great business, remember us Brits love our pets and we spend a lot of money in them.

thinking of buying this stock, so I went into the local store, surprised how busy it was, but what impressed me was the grooming parlour was packed,and the vets had people at their desk looking to make appointments, I was eavesdropping a bit, these must be high margin services but on value I think at 20 plus enterprisevalue, this may have legs,

Moral of the story:

Don't touch IPOs.

You don't have choice on:

Price.
Timing.
Allocation.

I think I will be holding these for longer than I hoped.

Oh well, lets hope a few sets of decent results and dividends bring it back to life...

Why boycott the stores because the advisors got a very good price for the shares ?
It was greed by the investors wanting to make a quick profit from the flotation that made the price so high.
You didn`t have to apply for the shares.

In markets like these the good and bad shares drop. Could be a good buying opportunity for some. Me I do not hold at present.

[knighty0001] 11/4/2014 15:37

Could be holding onto this sick puppy for a while.

[skinny] 11/4/2014 15:35

This lot have been buying and still its dropping - sick as a parrot.

Greed by the directors at 245p placing.

This is the dog stock of the IPO's.
Rip off highly valued IPO.

I'm boycotting the store.

Any ideas why we are seeing a drop? I know the market appears to be red today everywhere but this doesn't seem right! Having a quick look at their last financial report and it looks upbeat and positive. I expect there next financial statement will be positive, after all..... Who doesn't spend decent money on their pets!!!

@Little Beaker, about £275m at floatation.

[little beaker] 11/4/2014 09:46

What was net debt at floatation? Where can I see the financials?

I would sooner invest in this company than some .com company.
