JAB is weighing an initial public offering of its pet-care portfolio amid booming demand for animal health-care services, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Luxembourg-based conglomerate is exploring options for the business, which it built through the 2019 acquisitions of Compassion-First Pet Hospitals and National Veterinary Associates, the people said. It could seek a U.S. listing later this year or in early 2022, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information.
