Project Furrr

Business Overview
A growing collection of pet care businesses specializing in grooming, daycare, and boarding services. The group began by acquiring a regional grooming chain, followed by an additional grooming salon to expand reach, and most recently added a large boarding and daycare facility. Together, these acquisitions form a full-service pet care group serving tens of thousands of clients across Ontario, combining recurring service revenue, customer loyalty, and real estate-backed operations within a stable and growing market.

Scale: Capable of serving over 2,000 pets annually, supported by a professional care team and a loyal local client base.
Strategic Focus: Expand the facility with an on-site grooming salon and introduce bundled memberships that combine grooming, boarding, and daycare services.
Impact: Marks the platform's entry into the high-demand lodging segment, introducing real estate ownership and establishing a foundation for future regional rollouts.
