Franchising OpportunityOwn a grooming business backed by 45 years of expertise
Pampered Paws has been grooming, training, and building successful pet-care businesses since 1979 — across Canada and internationally. Now we’re opening that proven system to a select group of franchise partners.
TorontoMississaugaScarboroughTokyoYokohamaLexingtonThe OpportunityA proven business in an industry that keeps growing
Pet owners spend more on their companions every year — and grooming is one of the few pet services that’s both recurring and recession-resistant. Dogs and cats need grooming on a 3-to-6-week cycle, in good times and bad, which means steady, repeat revenue rather than one-time sales.
Pampered Paws began franchising in 2004, after 25 years of refining how a grooming salon should actually run — pricing, workflow, staff training, and client care. What you’d be buying isn’t an idea. It’s a system that’s been working for decades, on two continents.
Request franchise informationWhy partner with Pampered Paws
A name that's meant quality since 1979.
Most grooming franchises are a decade old, if that. Pampered Paws has spent more than 45 years building a reputation pet owners trust — the kind of brand equity a new business usually takes years to earn.
Proven beyond one market
Our locations span Canada and Japan, with Lexington in the United States. A model that works across very different markets is a model that travels — and that's what de-risks your investment.
A built-in advantage: our grooming school
Pampered Paws runs its own professional grooming school, with graduates operating businesses in more than 20 countries. You're connected to a pipeline of trained talent, with the option to host training programs as a second revenue stream.

Investment overviewUnderstanding the investment
A Pampered Paws salon is a full-service, brick-and-mortar grooming business — not a mobile or home-based concept. Across the industry, opening a brick-and-mortar pet grooming salon typically represents a six-figure investment, with the largest variables being your location, lease, and build-out.
Your investment covers the essentials of opening and running your salon: location build-out, professional grooming equipment, brand and operating systems, and the training and launch support to get you operating with confidence.
We look for partners with access to significant capital and a genuine commitment to animal care. Exact investment figures, fees, and territory details are provided during a private consultation, where we can speak to your specific market and goals.
