What Puts Us Above the Rest
Who We Serve
Pet Resorts & Kennels
Thinking about selling your pet resort, dog daycare or kennel? Here’s the thing—a specialty pet industry broker makes all the difference when it comes to getting the best price. We’ve been doing this for over 18 years and know the pet care industry inside and out. We’ve sold 285+ facilities, closed $530MM in deals, have a 98% closing rate, and consistently get our clients about 20% more than they’d get on their own.
Our approach is straightforward: we get you the highest valuation possible, keep everything confidential, and bring you multiple offers so you can pick what’s right for your business.
“Some people think like I did: ‘I can sell my business myself and not pay the commissions.’ They need to understand Teija is going to get two or three times more than what you can get by yourself.”
Randy Boyer, Country Lane Pet Resort
Veterinary Practices
Selling your veterinary practice requires industry expertise and strategic negotiation. As a licensed pet business broker, PET|VET optimizes business valuation, real estate considerations, and tax implications for veterinary clinics and hospitals.
Whether selling to a corporate consolidator or a healthcare group, our proven process secures the best deal while protecting your confidentiality and financial interests.
“Teija is very knowledgeable about the industry. She was able to explain what was going on from the buyer’s perspective as well as our own. She gave us a roadmap and always dealt with us with the utmost integrity.”
Grant and Marci Garl, Fit ‘N’ Furry
Maximize Your Pet Business Sale with Expert Guidance
The pet care industry is consolidating rapidly, and if you own a facility, chances are you’ve already received an offer from a corporate buyer. But here’s what most owners don’t realize: negotiating alone always costs you.
When you go it alone, you’re not just leaving money on the table—you’re also missing out on finding the right buyer for your team and culture. You might think you’re getting a fair deal, but without multiple offers to compare, you’ll never know what another company might have been willing to pay or offer your employees.
It’s a classic case of “you don’t know what you don’t know.”
The buyers? They do this every day. They know exactly what they’re willing to pay and how to negotiate down. Unless you level the playing field with someone who knows the market just as well, you’re already at a disadvantage.
PET|VET knows the market and all the buyers. You’ll receive multiple offers and can choose the one that works best for your business—considering fit, culture, and price.
“Without Teija in the middle, the buyer probably would have tried to pay a little bit less. And then we wouldn’t be in the position as much to negotiate. So it really didn’t cost us anything to use her as a broker.”

Transparent & Performance-Based Fees
Let’s cover the #1 question: what’s this going to cost me? We understand the need to maximize returns at closing and that is why our fees are structured to align with your success, decreasing as the deal size increases.
Our compensation is based on the final sale price and we are fully transparent with our success fee. The fee is calculated during the market analysis stage — before you make any commitments.
Our fees are lower than a typical residential real estate transaction, making PET|VET not only the most experienced but also the most cost-effective choice for selling your pet care business.

Working with PET|VET means maximizing the value of your pet business sale while ensuring a smooth, strategic process. Unlike negotiating with a single buyer, our Structured M&A Auction creates competition among national corporate and private equity firms, driving up your sale price / multiplier and securing the best deal terms.
Key benefits:
- Higher sale price – Competitive bidding ensures you get top dollar at max multiplier.
- More buyer options – We connect you with all potential buyers, not just one.
- Faster, more efficient sale – Clear deadlines keep deals on track.
- Cultural fit consideration – You choose a buyer who aligns with your values.
The market for pet care businesses is expanding, offering a range of deal structures and financial opportunities. Our expertise helps you navigate these complexities with confidence, ensuring you make the right decision for your business and future. You only have one chance to sell at peak value—partnering with PET|VET ensures you don’t leave money on the table.
Confidentiality is a priority throughout the entire process. We confidentially present your business to buyers (whether PE or private individuals) while protecting sensitive information. Our buyer qualification process ensures only serious, financially capable buyers receive information on your business after signing a Non Disclosure Agreement. We are highly sensitive to the team at the business and the larger community who should only learn of the sale once it’s completed.
Some sellers may question the need for an auction-style approach rather than negotiating, by themselves, with one buyer. The answer is straightforward: competition drives value. Without multiple buyers in play, there is a significant risk of undervaluing your business and leaving money on the table.
An auction-style approach also gives you the ability to evaluate multiple buyers and their offerings to your team, reputation, and future financial gains.
Our structured Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Auction process ensures that potential buyers recognize they are competing with others for your business. This competitive dynamic creates urgency, compelling serious buyers to act swiftly and submit strong, top-tier offers from the outset.
Selling a pet care business requires meeting key financial, operational, and compliance criteria to attract serious buyers. While PET|VET works with a variety of businesses, here are the general requirements:
M&A Market (Corporate & Private Equity Buyers)
- Revenue & EBITDA: Minimum of $1M in revenue and/or $250K+ in verifiable EBITDA for a single location
- Management: A General or Operations Manager must be in place to handle daily operations
