About the Business
Competition:
Prudent Paws competes with other urban dog daycare, boarding, and pet care businesses in Toronto such as Park9, Super Doggos, Paws Playground, and others in the same category. However, our structure, philosophy, and execution set us apart in significant ways. Key Advantages: • Structured care model: Unlike typical free-for-all daycares, we run a structured daily routine with walks, naptime, enrichment, and play — modeled after child daycare centers. • Special needs dog care: One of the only dog facilities in Toronto that confidently accepts and properly cares for dogs with disabilities (blind, deaf, mobility issues, etc.). • Daily photo/video updates: We send real-time personalized updates to dog owners throughout the day — building massive trust and loyalty. • Kennel-free, home-style boarding: Dogs sleep freely and comfortably, supervised in a cozy environment — no cold crates or warehouse setups. • Fenced outdoor area + structured walks: We go beyond indoor play by integrating supervised outdoor time and nature walks into the routine. • Strong Google reputation: 5-star reviews, active Instagram page, and deeply loyal clientele. • Future one-stop-shop positioning: Expansion plans to add on-site grooming and in-house teeth cleaning already underway.
Growth and expansion potential:
Prudent Paws is already organically generating six-figure revenue without any paid advertising which means growth potential is high and relatively untapped. Here’s where a new owner can scale: • Marketing: The business has never run paid ads. A small marketing budget (as little as $500–$1,000/month) could double or triple visibility. • Capacity: The current facility can easily support 25–35 dogs per day (currently operating at 10/day). • Grooming services: By investing ~$10,000 into grooming stations and hiring 1–2 groomers, Prudent Paws could generate $1,500–$3,000/week in additional revenue. • Branded school bus service: With a $9,000 bus and ~$1,500 branding, daily pickups/drop-offs could become a revenue generator and a viral marketing tool. • Retail sales & add-ons: Treats, enrichment toys, grooming products, and branded merchandise. • Holiday events/photo shoots: Already part of the culture easy upsell moments that clients love.
Support and training for new ownership:
To ensure a seamless handover and ongoing success: • 90 days of free on-site training and support from the founder (including operations, client relationships, system handoff, and school bus setup) • Full transfer of SOPs, client booking systems, vendor contacts, and passwords • Introduction to all major clients and hands-on trust-building support • Access to current part-time live-in staff member (“Sunny”) who is capable of fully operating the business and has already built strong relationships with clients and their dogs • Optional: Founder available as bus driver or transition consultant post-sale if arranged in advance
Reason for selling:
While the foundation is strong, expansion now requires more financial investment and operational support than the current owner can provide alone. This is a strategic sale, not a distressed one — the business is healthy, respected, and primed for growth.
