TL;DR
K9 Resorts offers a unique opportunity for veterinarians to expand their existing businesses by providing luxury dog daycare and hotels. The brand is exhibiting at the North American Veterinary Conference to meet with industry professionals and grow its business.
Demand for quality pet care is at an all-time high. Consumers aren’t sparing any expense when it comes to man’s best friend—industry spending is above the $60 billion mark and climbing rapidly. In the past, entrepreneurs looking to make the most out of that business opportunity have been limited to working in fields like veterinary services. But now there’s a growing franchise brand adding to the pet care industry’s already booming business: K9 Resorts.
The system of luxury dog daycare centers and hotels is setting a new standard when it comes to looking after pets. The brand’s amenities leave nothing to be desired—every K9 Resorts location includes cage-free suites, state-of-the-art air purification systems, five-star hotel-quality customer service and pet-safe, outdoor courtyards, ultimately ensuring that dogs are healthy and happy when they return to their owners.
“There isn’t another brand out there that can match our commitment to quality boarding services. As the K9 Resorts brand continues to grow, we’re raising the bar in an increasingly in-demand industry,” said Steven Parker, co-founder and co-CEO of K9 Resorts. “We’ve created a unique business model, and dog lovers are catching on. Feedback at all of our existing locations has been overwhelmingly positive, proving that demand for a luxury alternative to traditional boarding is on the rise.”
Consumers aren’t the only people taking note of the brand’s system. Franchisees are also signing on to open up their own K9 Resorts location. The brand offers Veterinarians an unrivaled business ownership opportunity—not only is K9 Resorts’ corporate team hands-on throughout the entire grand opening process, it’s also affordable. Start-up costs for new K9 Resorts franchisees typically range from $915,655 to $1,292,859, and K9 Resorts have preferred lenders that are willing to lend up to 75 percent of the total cost to qualified candidates.
Beyond that, Veterinarians are already perfectly positioned to capitalize on the brand’s targeted customer base.
“Veterinarians are a natural fit for our brand. In fact, they’ll have an automatic leg up on the competition because they already have the clientele,” said Jason Parker, co-founder and co-CEO of K9 Resorts. “Opening a K9 Resorts franchise is a simple way for Veterinarians to add another revenue stream to their bottom line. We have all the tools and resources that they need in order to be successful—they just have to apply them.”
Veterinarians looking to take their successful businesses to the next level have a unique opportunity to learn more about K9 Resorts. The brand is exhibiting at the North American Veterinary Conference between February 5 and 8 in Orlando, Florida.
“We’re incredibly excited to meet with talented and driven industry professionals who have experience in the pet care industry, especially since we all share the same passion for bettering the lives of dogs and their owners,” said Jason. “Going forward, we’re planning to play a bigger role in the veterinary industry. Our businesses are perfect complements, and we’re confident that by working together with Veterinarians we’ll be able to successfully grow the K9 Resorts brand.”
