## Story

“Jason and I always wanted a dog of our own growing up, and that opened the door to a successful dog walking business as kids, which laid the foundation for our entry into the luxury pet care space as adults,” said Steven Parker, co-founder and CEO of K9 Resorts. “Signing our 50th franchisee in conjunction with our 15th anniversary is a thrilling achievement. We’re excited about the growth of our business and the opportunity to be a recognized leader in the luxury pet resort industry. Personally, I can’t wait to see what the next 15 years bring.”

A nationally recognized and award-winning pet care provider, and one of the first luxury pet resort franchises to enter the fast-growing $9 billion U.S. pet care market, K9 Resorts recently earned the International Boarding & Pet Care Services Association (IBPSA) Pet Care Business Excellence Award for being the number one pet care-providing franchises in the country. Nicknamed the Ibbys, the IBPSA Pet Care Business Excellence Award honors businesses raising the bar for professionalism and success in the pet care services industry.

To mark its 15th year in business, K9 Resorts is also launching a new and improved logo that best reflects the brand as well as the quality of care and services the franchise provides.

K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel (www.k9resorts.com) strives to offer the best pet care experience for all the dogs in its care and was honored with the 2019 IBPSA Pet Care Business Excellence Award. Founded in 2005, each K9 Resort is custom-designed with hospital-grade ventilation systems, antimicrobial flooring, cage-free luxury boarding and world-class, professionally trained staff members. Recommended by numerous pet professionals and several major publications, K9 Resorts is proud to lead the way in the pet hospitality industry.

A category-leading luxury pet care franchise built for multi-unit growth, combining a premium guest experience with strong unit economics and long-term performance in a recession-resistant industry.
