Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

'Heavy heart'

In a Facebook post, a spokesperson for Pets at Home said: "It’s with a heavy heart that we have to bid farewell to an amazing town and a community that welcomed us with open arms from day one.

"We have made some truly special friends, both four and two legged and we’re so sad to be having to say goodbye.

"It has truly been an honour to help and support your pets, whether finding that perfect food for ticky tums or getting that coat to fit just right.

"I can assure you that this decision was not an easy one and not taken lightly, but due to a number of factors we have to say goodbye to Bradford Forster Square.

"Please do come and see us before, as we have until August 31st before our doors close for good, as we hate the thought of not being able to say goodbye to you all in person."

"You can still find all your favourites in our closest stores located in Bradford Idle, Brighouse, Guiseley and all other local Pets at Homes or online at petsathome.com

"Last, but certainly not least – thank you."
