Free Market Analysis of Your Pet Business

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.

Selling the pet business you’ve built is a major decision—one that involves both financial rewards and emotional considerations. You want to maximize the value of your business while ensuring a smooth transition to the right buyer. At the same time, you need a process that keeps you informed and supported every step of the way.

If you’re ready to capitalize on your hard work, reduce the daily stress of ownership, and start your next chapter with financial freedom, we’ll help you achieve that goal.

With our proven strategy, you’ll sell your pet business for the highest possible price while navigating the sale with confidence and clarity.

Finding the right buyer and securing the best deal requires more than just listing your business for sale. We have strong relationships with national corporate and private equity buyers, and our structured approach ensures that your business is exposed to the most qualified buyers through a competitive bidding process, increasing your final sale price.

Rather than negotiating with a single company on your own, or relying on outdated “list-and-wait” methods, we create demand among national corporate and private equity buyers. This structured mergers and acquisitions (M&A) process ensures multiple offers, clear deadlines, and buyer accountability—giving you more control and better results.

Additionally, selling your pet business with PET|VET means considering more than just the highest bid. We help you evaluate potential buyers for the right cultural fit, ensuring your legacy and team are in good hands.

With an expanding market of buyers offering a variety of deal structures, you need expert guidance to navigate your options. Our expertise helps you sell your pet business online and secure the best outcome for your business and your family.

A structured M&A auction maximizes your business value by attracting a wide pool of potential buyers and creating competitive tension. Unlike traditional sales methods, this process:

• Generates multiple offers, increasing your sale price
• Puts you in control of the sale terms
• Reduces the risk of undervaluation
• Ensures a smooth, efficient transaction with clear deadlines

When you sell your pet business using our method, you can be confident you’re getting the best outcome possible.

When selling your pet business, you need a streamlined, transparent process. PET|VET ensures:

• Complete confidentiality throughout the sale
• Multiple offers to maximize your business’s value
• Expert negotiation to secure the best possible terms
• Deal structuring to optimize your proceeds and minimize taxes
• Real estate guidance—explore your options, including whether to lease or sell
• A comprehensive financial package to highlight your business’s cash flow and profitability
• Clear, step-by-step guidance at every stage

The market for pet care businesses is expanding, offering a range of deal structures and financial opportunities. Our expertise helps you sell your pet business while navigating these complexities with confidence, ensuring you make the right decision for your business and future.

A structured mergers and acquisitions (M&A) auction is a strategic sales process designed to create competition among potential buyers, driving up the value of your pet business. Instead of setting a price and waiting for offers, this approach invites multiple buyers—corporate groups, private equity firms, and qualified individuals—to bid, ensuring you receive maximum financial return and the best deal terms.

The benefits include:

• Higher sale price – Competitive bidding increases offers and prevents undervaluation.
• Stronger negotiating power – You maintain control over deal terms, ensuring a favorable outcome.
• Faster, more efficient sale – A structured process eliminates delays and keeps negotiations on track.
• Confidentiality – Only pre-screened, serious buyers access sensitive business details.

Partnering with an experienced brokerage to sell your pet business is key to unlocking your business’s full value.

PET|VET facilitates sales of pet care businesses, boarding kennels, dog daycares, grooming businesses, pet supply stores and manufacturers specializing in pet toys, bedding, training supplies, clothing, accessories, supplements, containment products, and more (excluding pet stores that sell live animals).

• Trainer-owned facilities (where the owner is the primary trainer)
• Dog show handler kennels
• Small pet grooming salons (with fewer than four groomers)
• Small animal hospitals (with only one or two DVMs)
• Training-focused businesses (where training generates over 50% of revenue)
• Retail boutiques (with less than $2M in annual revenue)
