The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel

About Us

Since 2006, The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel has offered award-winning pet care and provided peace of mind to thousands of pets and pet owners.

The Ark Advantage

  • Industry Experts: With over 15 years of experience in the pet care industry and backgrounds in real estate our team excels in assisting Franchise Owners with operations and real estate site selection, building, and opening locations in prime positions. Location is a hallmark of our brand and with our strategic guidance Franchise Owners can capitalize on high foot traffic and lower marketing costs.
  • Efficient Design & Layout: Our attractive facility design takes the guesswork out of mapping out the square footage needed for efficient functioning. With our design and previous locations, we have found that landlords are more willing to put kennels in their facilities because they are proven to bring in revenue which creates less stress for Franchise Owners in the site selection process.
  • Profitable Mix of Services: Unlike competing brands who have only one category taking up the majority of their revenue, we have a profitable mix of services that creates multiple revenue streams leading to a consistent ROI. Our services are four-fold with pet boarding, daycare services, grooming, and our “Slobberbones” retail products that align with our customer’s passion for raising healthy and happy pets.

  • Award-Winning: We have been able to capture the attention of our local communities within our various locations! This recognition isn’t just for the corporate headquarters, as all locations have been rated with an A+ by the BBB for the past 15 years.
