For busy pet parents, dog care away from home is often needed. But current service options can stress pets... and parents in turn.
Boarding stress can cause illness, weight loss, and a resistance to return to a boarding facility for both dogs AND parents! K9 Resorts was developed to change this. Today K9 Resorts is a nationally recognized authority on the optimal, stress-free care for dog guests, which gives guilt-free peace of mind to pet parents.
Stress-free and health is the focus. Our ONLY focus. We want pets and parents to love coming back and everything we do supports this mission!

A flourishing pet industry is at the heart of the K9 Resorts opportunity.
Americans spent more than $66 billion dollars on their pets annually, according to the American Pet Products Association. The spending is at record levels, which has grown consistently over the past 5 years. This growth has been fueled in large part by increased spending in pet services.
Employment is at record lows. Dual income households at record highs. Quality dog care was never needed more.
The pet industry is big business.
The Number Of Pets Is Growing
Nearly 65% of American homes have pets. That means more than 85 million families in the United States have pets and that number is growing as well. Around 56% more Americans own pets now than did in 1988.
Millennials Are Spending More Than Ever
As Baby Boomers become empty nesters, they are filling their homes with pets and they are spending. Pet spending in the over 55 category continues to grow every year.
25 Years Of Continuous Growth
The pet services industry has shown consistent industry growth every year for more than 25 years. In 1998, the pet industry took in $23 billion dollars. That number literally tripled by 2017.
Lucrative Business Potential = Growing Demand + Precise Operating Systems
An estimated 78 million dogs are owned in the United States. Approximately 44% of all households in the United States have at least one dog*. With 117 million US households, Americans spend almost $70 billion dollars on their pets annually*. Spending on pets is at record levels, and grown consistently over the past 5 years.

How to Start
Steps to Franchising K9 Resorts
Talk to Us
We need to get to know one another to determine if there is a good fit for both of us. This begins with your submitting an initial inquiry to us or calling us at (908) 889-PETS. We don’t sell franchises, we award them to qualified people that we feel will continue to build on the K9 Resorts track record. Let’s talk.
FDD Review
Every franchise company must provide you with their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s franchise sales rule. The FDD is a uniform document consisting of 23 items plus the standard franchise agreement. K9 Resorts will provide you with our FDD and allow you as much time as necessary to review this document and to ask any questions you may have about its contents.
Apply
After learning more about one another through an initial conversation, if we agree that K9 Resorts feels like a good fit, your next step will be to submit an application for franchise candidacy. At this stage, you will be providing more detailed information about yourself that will allow us to continue the process.
Sign Franchise Agreement
Once you feel good about joining our franchise family and have made the informed and educated decision to become a K9 Resorts franchisee, the only thing left to do is sign your franchise agreement. This final step on your path to franchising with K9 Resorts will begin your next chapter in life as a K9 Resorts franchisee.
