Pet Daycare And Boarding Facility

Business Overview:

The business is a dog daycare and overnight boarding facility that was founded by a passionate dog lover whose love for dogs is reflected in the business they built. The facility provides an exceptional indoor and outdoor facility where dogs can socialize in an open, safe and fun environment that is managed by trained staff.

In addition to daycare and boarding,other services provided are limited grooming services that include nail trimming, ear and teeth cleaning, bath services, and special occasion celebrations.

Dog owners often comment that their pet looks forward to their stay at the facility and they return home happy and calm. There are almost 200 reviews on social media that contain mostly high praise from dog owners about the services and treatment of their pets. 

70% of annual revenue comes from daycare services. In times of economic recession and high inflation, the business has an advantage over other daycare-boarding businesses that rely more on revenue from boarding services. When pet owners cut back on travel and vacations, this eliminates the need for pet boarding services, but many will need daycare services in a good or bad economy. The business was not as negatively impacted by COVID as compared to others when COVID caused a dramatic cut back in overnight travel for vacations and other purposes.

As a requirement, a new client’s dog is tested to ensure they have the suitable temperament for large group play with other dogs and can be managed safely by staff. Certain breeds have not been accepted by the business for the safety of other dogs and staff, which creates a safer environment as compared to other daycare-boarding facilities. Also, unlike other facilities, this temperament testing service is provided for free and is very much appreciated by clients and contributes to staff and client retention.

Property Features and Assets:

The facility is a standalone building with 8,000 square feet and plenty of outside room for dogs to play. 2,500-3,000 square feet of the building is unused, and this presents the new owner with multiple opportunities to grow the business in terms of adding more services and boarding more dogs or other pets. A $200,000 investment was made in a build out that was completed in 2021, so many of the building enhancements look almost new.

The location is ideal as it is near I-75 and near a good concentration of businesses and neighborhoods. People who commute to work into the Atlanta area or the north Atlanta metro area on I-75 can easily drop-off and pick-up their pet for daycare. An emergency vet clinic in the Atlanta area is also near the business.

The owner will lease the property to the new owner under the terms of a five-year lease and will consider offers to sell the property.

Assets = $100,000

Market Competition and Expansion:

There are several growth opportunities for the business since the owner has not pursued an aggressive growth strategy for the business, and there is 2,500 - 3,000 square feet of unused space in the facility to house new services. Additional services could be offered inside and outside the facility in the surrounding community.

The unused facility space could be used for full grooming services, dog training, basic obedience training, veterinary services, sales of pet products, and boarding of cats or other pets. The equipment and setup are already in place for full grooming services

Outside of the facility in the community, the business could provide In-House Pet-Sitting and Dog Walking Services. There is a great need for pet-sitting services as some dogs cannot stay at the facility due to breed restrictions,age and other factors.

Among the many businesses, government agencies, schools and other organizations in the business's area, some of the key new client prospects include Lockheed Martin, local government employees, police and firefighters. Current clients include parents of students who attend several major educational institutions and schools, and the employees of a top Atlanta area healthcare provider.
