Fredun Fetches Growth: Pet Care Foray Begins with One Pet Stop Acquisition

Fredun Pharmaceuticals Ltd has officially entered the booming pet care market by acquiring a controlling stake in One Pet Stop through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fredun Retail Pvt Ltd. This strategic move marks Fredun’s transition from a pharma-focused company to a holistic healthcare provider spanning both human and animal wellness.

 

One Pet Stop, known for its mobile pet grooming services and user-friendly app, brings with it a loyal customer base of over 4,000 pet owners. The acquisition unlocks synergies with Fredun’s existing Freossi brand, which offers premium pet grooming products.

 

Together, the companies aim to create an integrated pet care ecosystem combining product innovation, doorstep services, and digital engagement.

 

The acquisition is expected to accelerate Fredun’s expansion across high-consumption urban zones, especially in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. With India’s pet care market projected to grow at over 20% CAGR, Fredun is positioning itself to become a formidable domestic player in a space largely dominated by multinational giants.

 

This move follows Fredun’s recent milestone of achieving 100% capacity utilization in its pet division and reaching a ₹20 crore annual run rate. The company also plans to double its pet care turnover next year, backed by a new functional foods plant in Palghar, Maharashtra, set to go live by Q3 FY26.

 

With this acquisition, Fredun isn’t just chasing growth—it’s chasing tails, treats, and a future where pet wellness is as prioritized as human health.
