Why did we start Platts Pets?

After questions from some of our customers about whether or not we supplied bedding for small animals, we realised that we could do just that!

Adding Platts Pets to the family

With family at the heart of our business and as pet lovers ourselves, we know that pets become an extension of the family and we want them to have the best when it comes to keeping clean, comfortable and warm.

Utilising our network of suppliers and our excellent production facilities, we adapted our bales to the perfect size for pet owners and now your small furry friends can benefit from our premium wood shavings too!
