Pet Planet Enters Administration After Nearly 27 Years in Business
James Stephen and Kiri Holland were appointed administrators as the online retailer, used by 100,000s of customers, faces possible closure.
- Pet Planet, a Livingston, Scotland-based online retailer, has entered administration after nearly 27 years of operation, according to Companies House and The Gazette.
- Entering administration means the company is currently unable to pay its debts or liabilities, according to SquareUp, while the Insolvency Act 1986 provides statutory "breathing space" from creditor enforcement.
- Administrators James Stephen and Kiri Holland have been appointed to oversee the firm, with eight weeks to formulate proposals that creditors will subsequently vote to approve.
- Management and control have passed to the administrators, although the company may continue to trade while facing potential rescue, liquidation, or dissolution within 12 months.
- This collapse reflects a difficult start to 2026 for the UK retail sector, as major brands including River Island, Primark, and Poundland have already been forced to close stores.
