(Corrects to “vet” revenue from “total” revenue in paragraph 2)
July 31 (Reuters) – Pets At Home posted a 1% fall in first-quarter revenue on Friday as a lockdown-driven jump in demand for supplies faded and pet-owners made fewer trips to the vet due to lockdown restrictions.
The British retailer said vet revenue was down 10.9% for the 16 weeks ended July 16, reflecting the impact of restrictions on permitted procedures during the early stages of the pandemic. (Reporting by Tanishaa Nadkar in Bengaluru; Editing by Vinay Dwivedi)
