IKPM Pet Supply LLC Enters Bankruptcy
The locally owned and operated pet supplies company made a voluntary filing on May 22, 2026. Case filings state that IKPM Pet Supply LLC operates under the Pet Supplies Plus brand and is set to proceed under Subchapter V of Chapter 11 as it has qualified as a ‘small business debtor.’

The nature of most of the unsecured claims is business loans, alongside business personal property taxes and credit cards.
