Have you ever wanted to turn your love of animals into a business, but weren’t sure where to start? If so, then you may want to explore pet franchise opportunities. Buying a pet care franchise gives you most of the freedoms of being your own boss, while still giving you access to the expertise of a company that has developed and perfected a successful model for the pet care business.
Is there really money to be made in pet care franchises? The answer to that is an absolute yes. Pet owners spend over $53 billion per year on their pets, and boarding and grooming, the easiest ways to break into the pet care market, account for $4 billion per year alone. Moreover, this industry has been robustly growing, out-performing most other areas of the economy. While no business is recession-proof, consumers have shown a willingness to spend on their pets even when cutting out other “luxury” items.
Some pet care services require specialized knowledge. For example, while veterinarians are in high-demand, it also takes years to become a veterinarian. However, as long as you are a hard worker who is great with pets and with people, you have what it takes to open other types of pet care oriented businesses.
What if you are new to owning your own business? No problem. The franchise model means that you can find a franchise that gives you plenty of guidance in setting up your business as well as continued support as you grown and maintain your business. Remember, a franchise’s entire reputation is damaged if your business is unsuccessful, giving them incentive to make sure that you have the tools you need to run a successful business with plenty of satisfied customers! At K9 Resorts, we are very proud of our franchise opportunities and look forward to discussing a partnership with you if you are a hard-working pet-and-people lover!
