Put some spark in your bark!

You’ve always been crazy about animals. You’ve also always dreamed of opening your own franchise. Here’s why combining the two by owning a pet franchise could be a wise move.

They’re good for your health

Just being around animals has been shown to lower blood pressure, increase (human) exercise and decrease stress levels. Even if you don’t have any pets at home (which is unlikely, given your love for them), spending time with them at your pet supply or grooming franchise can benefit your health.

They’re fun

These days, few people can go into work knowing they’ll definitely see something there that will make them smile. But with animals, that perk is all but guaranteed. From crazy kitten antics to dogs just acting silly, owning an animal-related franchise will surely put pep in your step!

They’re profitable

It’s estimated that by the end of 2018, $72.13 billion will be spent on pets in the United States. And that’s an increase from 2016, when $69.51 billion was spent. If those figures are in any way similar in the future, an animal-based franchise could be a lucrative move for the savvy pet-owner. After all, why not do what you love AND get paid for it?
