Pet spending in the US hit $147B in 2024 and shows no sign of slowing — pet owners are the most inflation-insensitive consumer segment after parents spending on children. Pet franchises range from low-investment mobile grooming ($50-80K) to full-service boarding facilities ($500K+). The category is still fragmented with room for consolidation, which means franchise resale values are rising as PE firms acquire multi-unit operators.
