Pet Grooming & Boarding in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Sit and stay: Increased international travel will increase spending on pet boarding services

Canadian pet groomers and boarders provide pet care services such as boarding, grooming and training. Demand for pet care services has expanded as pet ownership has grown in recent years. Higher per capita disposable income and favourable consumer preferences have also boosted spending on pet care services. In 2020, COVID-19 understandably disrupted this trend as restrictions led to less demand for pet care services; revenue has since resumed growing, though. Pet grooming and boarding revenue has grown at a CAGR of 3.8%% to $837.4 million over the past five years, including 2.0% in 2023 alone as spending on pet care services remains high.
