Pet Franchises

Serve pets and pet owners with specialty products and services

Pets are an important part of many families, and pet owners are willing to go to great lengths to show their pets how much they are loved. Because people care so much about their dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish (among other creatures), the pet industry is a great place for new businesses.

When selecting a franchise, there are a number of opportunities to become part of the rapidly growing pet industry. Pets require specific supplies and specialized care. You might choose to sell specialty pet food, toys, bedding, and grooming supplies. Or you might be interested in providing services such as pet sitting, boarding, training, or grooming.

As the owner of a pet supply or service franchise, you’ll have the opportunity to work with animals and animal lovers. This makes for an exciting, fast-paced, and fun environment. And when you impress your clients with your outstanding products and services, you’ll gain loyal customers who will keep coming back.

Pets are more a part of the family now than ever before. Pet owners appreciate the opportunity to take their pets with them when shopping for food, toys, and other supplies. Today’s pet owners recognize the importance of high quality care for their animal friends, so services like pet sitting, boarding, daycare, and grooming are in demand.

Multiple Revenue Sources

Depending on which niche you choose, you may be able to take advantage of multiple revenue sources. Some pet supply stores also offer obedience classes and grooming. Some pet sitting businesses offer add-on services such as dog walking or multiple visits per day. All of this adds up to additional revenue for your business.
