Overview
Pet services businesses typically trade at 3×–6× EBITDA. Recurring grooming and daycare bookings, the global pet humanisation trend, and multiple service lines including boarding and walking support the upper end. Loyal customer bases with low churn and franchise scaling potential attract buyer interest. Key person dependency on groomer relationships and local competition are the primary risk factors.
