Business Origins

Having been less than satisfied with the level of care for their own dachshund with traditional kennels, the owners decided to create a business to fill this market niche. As a point of difference, it needed to be breed-specific, fully supervised and embedded into the family with a high level of communication with the pet owners.

Business Summary

A unique, thriving and highly regarded business offering bespoke dachshund-only daycare, overnight stays and taxi service. The business is well-established (commenced operation in July 2022) and highly profitable with further opportunity for broader expansion and growth.

Location

The business is currently located on the owner’s property in the Blue Mountains, NSW. With a loyal customer base extending from metropolitan Sydney to regional areas and even interstate, the operation can easily be relocated throughout NSW with minimal disruption.

Potential

– Ability to scale the business up for greater revenue and profit by increasing capacity.

– Opportunity for expanding services such as grooming, training, retail products and increased taxi runs to create additional revenue streams.

– Opportunity to operate 52 weeks of the year. The current owners close when they travel (approx. 4-6 weeks per annum).

– Flexibility to relocate the business anywhere within New South Wales.

– Substantial forward bookings providing a strong financial stream from day one.

Features of Current Operations

– Unique kennel-free care where each dog is treated as a member of the family with the perfect balance of human interaction, social playtime with fellow dachshunds, and access to part of the house and all of the garden.  

– Highly loyal customer base with exceptional retention and repeat business.

– User-friendly online booking system that simplifies reservations and secures upfront payments.

– Operational, systems, procedures and practices in place.

– Professional website and active well established social media.

– Door-to-door taxi service, ensuring ease and convenience for pet owners.

Skills

Training will be provided to the new owner, but given the nature of the business, an interest and or experience with dachshunds is desirable.
