Meeting Everyone’s Needs.
Whether customers are pet parents who work full-time, need to travel away from home, or are looking for a day of fun for their pet or professional training services-they demand high quality for their beloved pets. That’s why they turn to Kennelwood Pet Resorts time and time again. With a concept recognized as one of the finest pet resorts in the world, as a Kennelwood Pet Resorts franchise owner you can offer a variety of luxury accommodations for both dogs and cats. Rooms can accommodate even the largest of breeds and also multiple-pet families. You can even provide pet transportation. Accommodation and ancillary services can also be bundled for convenience and saving to customers. You are sure to provide something to fit anyone’s specifications and budget! But more than the convenience, trust, and peace of mind you can offer to pet parents (or “Moms and Dads”), it the pets (their “kids”) that really benefit. That’s why we say, “The Proof is in the Pulling.” Pets enjoy their time spent at Kennelwood Pet Resorts so much that they often pull their parents into Kennelwood on return visits!
Of course, your needs and goals as a business owner are important too. That’s why the entire Kennelwood team is committed to providing the training, support, and tools you’ll need to run an effective pet care business.
