Kennelwood Pet Resorts is now offering franchise opportunities in several states.

Training will take place at our Franchise Support Headquarters and corporate facilities in St. Louis. While in the classroom, instruction will be provided on such topics as administrative issues, operational aspects, pet safety, client relations, sales, marketing, human resources and staffing concerns. The on-the-job, hands-on portion of training will have the franchisees actively participating in the daily activities at one of the St. Louis facilities. They will work side-by-side with seasoned managers and staff. “Prospective franchisees will immediately recognize the level of commitment Kennelwood has to exceeding the standards in the industry and the expectations of pet parents,” said Zuccarello. As a recognized leader in the pet industry, Kennelwood has a strong reputation for quality and consistency. There are currently six locations in Missouri: Page and Lindbergh, South St. Louis County, Chesterfield, St. Peters, Ballwin, and O’Fallon. Each resort offers a wide variety of specialized products and guest services. Kennelwood Pet Resort services include: boarding, grooming, training, Doggie DayCamp, Yappy Hour, Bizzy Bones and Personalized PlayTime.
