Pet Care Franchise Opportunity Unlike Any Other

The pet industry in New Zealand is one of the fastest-growing industries in the country. With more than $1.8 billion in annual spending and pet ownership growing yearly, it is an exciting industry full of opportunities. Current pet ownership (cats and dogs) is more than 1,817,000 pets in New Zealand, with 72% of all houses having at least one pet. With the care of pets increasing, they are now a part of the family, people moving to smaller houses or apartment living demand for quality doggie daycare and pet hotel facilities continues to increase.

No previous business experience is necessary to become a Pets in The City Franchise Owner. However, a willingness to follow processes and procedures, great customer service and a passion for pets are all great attributes that will help you achieve success in this business.

The franchise fee for a new Pets In The City franchise is between $450,000 and $850,000, depending on the option you purchase, plus a $5,000 initial marketing fee to support your grand opening. This provides a fully operational ‘turn key’ store which you open and commence trading on day one plus training to get you up to speed. In addition, you will need approximately $100,000 to cover operating costs whilst your business builds to profitability.

The returns from owning and operating a Pets In The City franchise will vary depending on many factors, particularly your passion and commitment. We can discuss this with you during the selection process and provide some working models for you to assess your potential return on your business.

Every store is different, and there are many factors which will influence the profitability of a store. Based on our experience of opening a new store, it takes approximately 12 months for a store to operate profitably, but there are no guarantees.

Our franchise network is generally an owner-operator opportunity for people who are passionate about pets. However, if an investor and an operator are part of the ownership structure, we will consider this on a case-by-case basis.

The maximum debt that Pets In The City will allow to be secured against a franchise is 50% of the purchase price.

Your franchise is your business and yours to sell. Your franchise agreement will outline the process and requirements for sale and the prospective will need to go through our standard recruitment and selection process and be approved by us.
