K-9 Resorts Daycare & Luxury Hotel Franchisee Natalie Mooney Set To Meet Growing Demand For Pet Care Across New Jersey

According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), Americans spent an estimated $62.75 billion on pet care in 2016. Furthermore, the APPA’s National Pet Owners Survey shows that 65 percent of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to about 79.9 million homes. And of those homes, more than half own dogs.

So what does this all mean for K-9 Resorts Daycare & Luxury Hotel? It means that the award-winning and top-rated pet care facility is at the forefront of this growing industry and its newest location opening in Hamilton, New Jersey is set to bring its unparalleled level of service and personal touch to man’s best friend.

“There is not another pet care or dog facility that can come close to matching K-9 Resort’s level of quality and care,” said Hamilton K-9 Resorts Daycare & Luxury Hotel franchisee Natalie Mooney. “Our goal from day one will be to provide every dog that comes through our doors a unique luxury experience that will ease the stress on owners while providing dogs a fun, interactive and engaging experience away from home.”

Natalie Mooney’s interest in K-9 Resorts began when a friend who worked with the brand suggested that she look into the business opportunity of running her own franchise. Following several site visits and meetings, Mooney knew that K-9 Resorts was on to something special.

“Everything about K-9 Resorts’ operations is impressive,” said Mooney. “Every single location maintains the highest standards of safety and cleanliness. We treat each and every dog as if they were our own and that feeling is communicated to each one of our customers. There’s a palpable energy as soon as you walk into a K-9 Resort and I immediately knew that it was a business that I wanted to get behind.”

The Hamilton location will be the brand’s seventh unit open and the first to include a doggie swimming pool in New Jersey. Each location is built with only premium materials, from the artificial turf outside with antimicrobial agents to the flooring systems inside and air purification systems. Each building is carefully designed to reduce pet stress levels and improve noise control while providing cage-free boarding, designer hotel suites (outfitted with cable television) and a premium experience for their four-legged guests.

This attention to detail is certainly paying off, as K-9 Resorts Daycare & Luxury Hotel is well positioned for growth with the right entrepreneur. Franchisees such as Mooney will benefit from the brand’s more than 15 years of success and proven track record in the pet care industry. Prospects can expect their initial investment to range from $915,655 to $1,292,859, including a franchisee fee of $49,500. Franchisees will also benefit from a state-of-the-art training program, ongoing support, marketing and the operational tools needed to successfully run the business.

“As an entrepreneur, avid dog lover and someone focused on building great local businesses, we’re looking for like-minded individuals to continue to develop this brand,” said Jason Parker, co-founder and co-CEO of K-9 Resorts Daycare & Luxury Hotel. “We are extremely excited for Natalie and the opening of her Hamilton location. She is a savvy businesswoman and we’re confident she will excel. As we continue to target other markets across the country, we’ll be looking to bring in franchisees like Natalie to open and operate new locations.”
