The pet care industry is more popular among consumers than it has ever been before. According to the American Pets Product Association, Americans spent nearly $60.3 billion on pet products last year alone, and that number is expected to hit the $63 billion mark by the time 2016 comes to a close.

K-9 Resorts Daycare & Luxury Hotel, an award-winning, top rated pet care facility and franchise system, is at the forefront of this booming industry dedicated to taking care of man’s best friend. And now, the New Jersey-based brand is bringing its unparalleled services to the Sunshine State.

“Targeting Florida for expansion is a natural next step as we begin to bring the K-9 Resorts brand to new communities outside of our home base in the Northeast,” said Jason Parker, co-founder and co-CEO of K-9 Resorts. “There are a lot of people who spend their winters in Florida who are originally from up North, so we have an established group of consumers there who are already familiar with our services. Plus, there’s a real demand for a top-tier pet care facility in the state.”

There isn’t another pet daycare or resort in the industry that comes close to matching K-9 Resorts’ level of quality. The brand offers premium boarding services that can’t be found anywhere else, including cage-free suites, state-of the-art air purification systems and five-star hotel-quality customer service. K-9 Resorts also builds pet-safe, outdoor courtyards in every one of its locations in order to give dogs the opportunity to socialize, exercise and play.

“We pride ourselves on being the leaders in quality pet care. Our goal is to give every dog that walks through our doors a unique luxury experience, while at the same time easing the minds of the owners who leave their pets in our care. Dog owners know that when they pick their four-legged friends up after they stay at one of our day care facilities, they’re coming home happy and healthy,” Parker said.

Florida is perfectly positioned for the K-9 Resorts brand. There aren’t any other facilities like it in the area, giving business owners the opportunity to really develop and own the increasingly popular pet care market across the entire state.

New franchisees can expect their initial investments to range from $915,655 to $1,292,859, including the franchise fee.

“We’re 100 percent confident that K-9 Resorts will take off as soon as it opens its doors in Florida. Consumers are constantly stepping up their investments in quality pet care, so we’re really just tapping into a new market that’s filled with customers who are already looking for our services,” said Parker. “By expanding into a new state, K-9 Resorts will continue to build on the momentum it needs for nationwide growth in the months and years to come.”
