When I decided to sell my business, there were three things that were most important to me: getting top dollar, maintaining the culture and core beliefs of my brand, and providing benefits and career growth to my staff. Destination Pet not only delivered all three, but they guided me through each step honestly and sincerely. I couldn’t be happier to have chosen Destination Pet to continue the legacy I built."

"It was obvious early on that Destination Pet knew what they were doing and had the capital to invest and grow the business that we worked hard to build. No one likes change, but once I explained to my staff the options and opportunities that a corporation like Destination Pet affords them with paid vacation, benefits and career growth, they were supportive.

—Andrea Schokker, former owner of Canal Bark, Duluth, MN

If you’re ready to sell your business or if you just want some basic questions answered... CALL DESTINATION PET. We had two locations and were ready to retire. The professional team from Destination Pets made everything effortless. The benefits package and insurance given to our employees were far better than we could afford. The team worked quietly and with complete confidentiality until we were ready to announce the sale. The entire process was a well-orchestrated transaction. Selling to Destination Pet was one of the best decisions of my life.

I sold two pet resorts to Destination Pet, and my experience with them can be summed up in three words: integrity, speed, and professionalism. From the time I met with their senior management to tour my facilities, to the signing of the LOI and then closing the deal was remarkably quick and smooth. Destination Pet is a well-oiled machine, run and operated by experienced professionals. If you own a pet care business, whether you're thinking about selling or not, the best advice you'll get all day is to have a conversation with the folks at Destination Pet.
