Are you contemplating the sale of your pet business but unsure how to ensure its legacy?







Does the thought of selling your life's work leave you worried about your loyal employees' future?







Then you are in luck because in this week’s episode we deep dive into the exit strategies that are available to you when it’s finally time to hang up your dog leads and put away your poo bags.







To help get a real-life insight into the selling process I’m talking to Eyal Cohen from Pet Resort Hospitality Group. Eyal is a maestro of mergers and acquisitions in the pet care space, and together, we explore the crucial decisions you face when it's time to sell your daycare or boarding business. 







We deep dive into what options you have when it comes to selling your pet business, from handing over the reins to a trusted employee to joining forces with industry consolidators, so you ensure your legacy thrives beyond the sale.







This interview provides essential insights for any pet care entrepreneur who is standing at the crossroads, deliberating between expansion or exiting the industry altogether.







Also, in Dog News we dive into the latest survey that reveals the most popular pooches in the USA and UK, and Dom shares a preview of what’s in store at the upcoming Pet Boarding and Daycare Expo in Vegas.
