Buy grooming salons, boarding facilities, and pet-care businesses across BC. BizBuy.ca provides hands-on buyer-side consulting for pet services acquisitions throughout Burnaby and Metro Vancouver.
Pet services is one of the fastest-growing SMB categories in Canada — driven by pet humanisation trends, high spending willingness, and recurring service demand. Grooming is repeat by nature; boarding and daycare are mission-critical for working pet owners. The challenge is licenced staff retention and insurance.
Burnaby is the second-largest city in Metro Vancouver and one of the strongest SMB acquisition markets in BC. Lower lease costs than Vancouver, strong commercial density (Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed Town Centre, Edmonds), and excellent residential density support a wide range of acquisition targets.
Metro Vancouver and Victoria are extremely pet-dense markets — high dog ownership rates relative to children support very strong pet-service demand. Suburban BC cities (Langley, Abbotsford, Kelowna) are underpenetrated relative to pet ownership rates, offering expansion opportunity for acquirers.
