Ireland’s Pet Experts Petmania celebrate a milestone birthday this month, celebrating 16 years of serving local communities across the country, with plans to open their 16th store this autumn.
Petmania hosted their first ever dog-friendly cake smash to mark the occasion, with dogs Kali and Odin pictured enjoying some messy and tasty fun at one of Petmania’s busy stores.
The 100% Irish owned business are kicking off a special birthday sale which will see a series of promotions available both online and instore across their stores nationwide until September 3, as well as a number of family fun days in locations across the country.
Petmania has been at the forefront of offering high quality pet products, expert advice, quality grooming care and a genuine love for animals, earning the trust and admiration of pet lovers across the nation since 2007.
Petmania is part of the O’Keeffe Group, which was founded by Eamonn and Maureen O’Keeffe in the 1970s. In the beginning, Petmania was just a section in Gardenia, a garden centre on John Street, in Kilkenny City. It was such a hit with local customers, a dedicated pet store was opened on the same street in 2006. Its success spurred the business on to then open their first ever pet superstore in Waterford in May of 2007. Since then, the proud Irish business has continued to grow considerably and now operate 15 stores nationwide, with plans to open their 16th store later this year.
As the leading pet care specialist in Ireland, Petmania is well known for supporting local pet charities across the country as well as hosting regular free educational events and workshops to help promote responsible pet ownership.
Speaking about the retailer’s 16th year in business, Petmania’s spokesperson Emily Miller, says: “Today marks a truly momentous occasion as we proudly celebrate Petmania’s 16th birthday, the same year that we open our 16th store in Athlone. It has been an incredible journey, and we are immensely grateful to our amazing customers and dedicated team for continuing to make Petmania’s dream a reality. As we continue to grow, our passion for providing the best pet care grows with us. Here’s to many more years of wagging tails and joyful purrs.”
Petmania’s Managing Director, Shane O’Keeffe also spoke about the occasion, saying: “Through 16 years of commitment and care, we have nurtured a bond with our customers and their beloved pets alike. As we also look to open our 16th store later this year, we embrace the journey ahead with renewed dedication to excellence and compassion. We want to thank our valued customers for making Petmania a part of their lives and we hope to continue bringing quality care and advice to owners and their beloved pets.”
