Who We Serve

Pet Resorts & Kennels

If you own a pet resort or kennel and are considering selling, working with an experienced pet business broker and consultant ensures you receive top dollar. PET|VET has over 17 years of experience in this niche, successfully selling more than 250 facilities worth over $500 million. With a 96% average closing rate and prices 20% higher than FSBO, our process guarantees the highest valuation while maintaining complete confidentiality.

Selling your pet business, whether independent or a franchise, isn’t just about finding a buyer—it’s about securing the right one. We connect you with both private buyers and corporate consolidators / private equity firms, ensuring a smooth transition while maximizing value.

Veterinary Practices

Selling your veterinary practice is a complex process requiring industry expertise and strategic negotiation. As a licensed pet business broker, PET|VET structures transactions to optimize business valuation, real estate considerations, and tax implications for veterinary clinics and hospitals.

Our step-by-step approach ensures you remain informed and in control throughout the process. Whether you are selling to a private buyer or a corporate consolidator, our proprietary methods secure the best deal while protecting your confidentiality and financial interests.

Retail:

If you own a retail store, boutique, or pet product manufacturing company, selling to the right buyer is key to preserving your brand’s legacy while maximizing financial return.

PET|VET facilitates sales for businesses in pet food, toys, bedding, training supplies, clothing, accessories, supplements, containment products, and more (excluding pet stores that sell live animals). With expert guidance, you can confidently navigate the sale process while securing the best possible outcome.

Grooming:

For owners of multi-table grooming salons, selling your business requires a strategic approach to attract the right buyers and maximize value. PET|VET has extensive experience in pet grooming business transactions, ensuring smooth sales while maintaining confidentiality and profitability.

Maximize Your Pet Business Sale with Expert Guidance

The pet care industry is undergoing rapid consolidation, with business owners frequently receiving unsolicited offers from corporate buyers. While these offers may seem appealing, engaging directly with a corporate buyer without expert representation often leads to undervaluation.

PET|VET has built strong relationships with consolidator companies in both the pet resort and veterinary spaces. Our proven negotiation process in the M&A market creates a competitive bidding environment that ensures you receive the maximum value for your business. Many of our clients have achieved multi-million-dollar exits through our tailored approach.

Before sharing financials or negotiating with corporate buyers, consult an experienced pet business broker and consultant to protect your interests. PET|VET will help you secure the best valuation, deal terms, and transition plan. Contact us today for a pet business broker consultation and start your path to a successful, high-value sale.
