Wilko issues message to all shoppers who have a dog or cat
High street retailer Wilko has made an announcement about 248 of its stores.
The retailer has announced that shoppers can now bring their pets in store at two-thirds of its locations - meaning people are welcome to shop alongside their dogs or cats.
The brand expects most of the pet customers will be either dogs or cats, and these four-legged shoppers are likely to find many products instore that get their tails wagging. Wilko stocks everything from pet food to treats, bedding to toys, cleaning supplies to healthy pet essentials and even presents, costumes and accessories during key seasonal celebrations such as Christmas.

The participating stores are primarily those with their own on-street entrance and exit rather than those that are, for example, located in shopping centres, which may not allow any animal guests, or where the entrance isn’t pet friendly.
Signage at store entrances will make it clear if pets are welcome, although customers can also check with the store team if they are at all unsure. Service dogs are, of course, welcome at all stores nationwide.
A wide range of pet products is also available to shoppers nationwide via wilko.com.
