1851 On The Road: Jason Parker of K-9 Resorts

According to Nielsen, 95 percent of U.S. pet owners consider their pets to be part of the family—and they’re treating them accordingly. The American Pet Products Association predicts people will spend $62 billion for their pets by the end of 2016, a number that’s up from $60.28 billion in 2015.

As the pet care industry continues to grow, niche business offerings—ranging from pet grooming to pet waste cleanup and everything in between—are reaping the benefits. One brand in particular is experiencing incredible growth in the pet care segment: K-9 Resorts Daycare & Luxury Hotel, a New Jersey-based luxury pet care franchise.

During IFA 2017, 1851 Franchise’s Publisher, Nick Powills, caught up with Parker to learn more about the brand’s ongoing success and the unique niche it’s looking to fill.
