The stores have started liquidating inventories and canceled on-site vet clinic appointments.

A chain of pet food stores located across the east coast has announced it will close and liquidate of all its stores following a bankruptcy filing. Loyal Companion has more than 52 stores in Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire. The stores offer a range of pet food and supplies, along with grooming and self-serve dog wash stations.

The closures come after the parent company, Independent Pet Partners filed for Chapter 11 on February 6 in Delaware.

Most of the stores have already begun liquidation and are scheduled to close by the end of February. Shoppers can get 10 to 30% off all the remaining inventory, while supplies last. Existing grooming appointments will be fulfilled through mid-February and customers who have purchased self-wash packages can get a refund for unused washes in-store. Gift cards and rewards program points must be redeemed before February 28 and Loyal Companion is trying to make sure all online orders are complete.

Loyal Companion opened in 2019 and carries upscale brands like Open Farm, Fromm, Primal and Honest Kitchen. Select locations also hosted mobile vet clinics and offered grooming services.

Independent Pet Partners also owns the brands Chuck & Don’s, Kriser’s, and Natural Pawz. The company will be reorganizing under Chapter 11 proceedings to consolidate stores in Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois under the Chuck & Don’s and Kriser’s names.
