Ready for Freedom?

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Rather than negotiating with a single company on your own, or relying on outdated “list-and-wait” methods, we create demand among national corporate and private equity buyers.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.

With over 250 successful pet business sales totaling more than $450 million, PET|VET is the only pet business broker and M&A firm with this level of experience. Our 96% closing rate and ability to secure prices 20% higher than FSBO (For Sale By Owner) prove that our approach delivers results.

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 online 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 online is key to unlocking your business’s full value.

PET|VET facilitates sales for pet food businesses, grooming businesses, cat or dog boarding businesses, pet sitting businesses, “dog daycare” centers, and 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). With expert guidance, you can confidently navigate the sale process while securing the best possible outcome.

While many pet care services are great candidates for our services, some do not meet the necessary criteria for a successful transaction. Businesses that typically don’t qualify include:

• Breeder kennels
• Gun dog and sports trainer kennels
• 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)

If your business doesn’t fall into these categories but you’re unsure whether it qualifies for sale, reach out for a consultation. Selling your pet care business is a significant decision, and it’s essential to understand your options.

Our business evaluation process ensures your pet business is accurately assessed and positioned to attract top offers. For example, if you own an e-commerce pet supply store selling pet clothing, leashes, pet treats, and other high-quality products, we would analyze market dynamics, financial performance, and growth potential to maximize your valuation.

Confidentiality is a priority throughout our marketing process. We strategically present your business to pre-qualified buyers while protecting sensitive information. Our buyer qualification process ensures only serious, financially capable buyers engage in negotiations.

Once an offer is received, we guide you through due diligence, helping you compile financial records, operational details, and legal documents to satisfy buyer requirements. We also provide financing advice, assisting buyers in securing funding to streamline the transaction.

For leased properties, we coordinate with landlords to secure landlord’s approval, ensuring a smooth transition. Whether selling due to life changes, business opportunity, or strategic planning, our expert transaction management keeps the process efficient, minimizing stress and delays.

By combining market expertise, industry connections, and a structured process, we help you achieve the best possible outcome. Contact us today to start your valuation and take the first step toward a successful sale.

We provide potential buyers with detailed active listings that include key information such as asking price, business history, facility size, included real estate, employee count, and operational details such as pet boarding services, grooming services, dog walking services, and other pet services.
