Canine Country Kitchen Closes Littleborough Shop
Canine Country Kitchen closed its Littleborough shop on Saturday, marking the end of a much‑loved local fixture. The decision, shared in an emotional update by the team, comes after rising operational costs, including a significant increase in rent, made it impossible for the shop to remain financially viable.
Despite the sadness surrounding the closure, the business is framing the move as a positive step forward. The team says the change allows them to focus fully on their rapidly growing Todmorden site, Canine Country Kitchen & Café, which has evolved far beyond a traditional pet shop.
The Todmorden location has become a destination in its own right, offering a blend of pet products, dog‑friendly experiences, and a welcoming café atmosphere. By bringing everything under one roof, the team hopes to create a space where dogs and their humans can enjoy quality time together.
Visitors to the Todmorden site can look forward to:
- A full range of natural treats, raw food and chews
- Freshly brewed coffee, breakfast and lunch options
- Homemade cakes and sweet treats
- Puppachinos and a dedicated dog menu
- Snuffle mats and enrichment activities
- An indoor Stay & Play centre, offering safe, off‑lead fun whatever the weather
The team says their vision has always been to create more than a shop - a place where the community can relax, socialise and enjoy time with their dogs. The Todmorden site now reflects that vision fully.
For Littleborough customers who may find it difficult to travel, Canine Country Kitchen is committed to ensuring no one is left behind.
- Orders can still be placed online via their website
- Local delivery of food and treats can be arranged with notice
- The team remains available for advice and support through direct messages
In their announcement, Hayley and the team expressed deep gratitude to everyone who has supported the Littleborough shop over the years. While the closure is bittersweet, they emphasised that this is not the end - simply a new beginning.
They hope customers will continue the journey with them in Todmorden and experience everything the expanded site has to offer.
