Pet Care Services: A Burgeoning Industry

by | Jul 9, 2021

Pet care services is one of many industries experiencing a boom from dynamics created by the pandemic. This market is currently $100 billion strong…and growing. The reason? While we were in lock down, more than 11 million of us decided the pandemic was a perfect time to bring home a furry friend. Now, as these new pet owners head back to work and school, and also begin to resume travel, they need care for their new family member.

This “pandemic puppy boom” (as described by the WSJ) makes it an ideal time to buy a doggy day care company or pet boarding business. At BayState Business Brokers, we currently have several active listings, for buyers looking to become part of this massive industry. See here… and here.

We offer significant experience brokering pet care businesses, including pet supply stores and pet day care and boarding facilities. This expertise enables us to facilitate deals by helping navigate common hurdles such as valuing the business properly and matching the right buyer and seller.

In addition to having deep insights into this market, we also understand firsthand as pet lovers and owners, the critical role these services play in helping us juggle caring for our beloved pets, along with work, kids and the rest of life! We also know the peace of mind that comes with finding the right pet care provider for your precious pup.
