There are plenty of ways to start a pet care business.
You could go it alone.
You could join a low-cost franchise.
Or you could build your business with the UK’s most established full-service pet care franchise.
At We Love Pets, we believe success comes from doing things properly - putting animal welfare first, supporting franchisees properly, and building businesses designed to last.
That approach has helped us become the largest full-service pet care franchise in the UK, with a nationwide network of over 100 franchisees.
We are not focused on being the cheapest.
We are focused on helping you build something exceptional.
Our ethical, pet-first approach sets us apart. With no pack walking, small group sizes, strict safety standards and qualified carers, we prioritise animal welfare above all else - earning exceptional trust from pet owners.
Our full-service model gives franchisees multiple revenue streams, reducing risk and creating more opportunities to grow. If one service slows down, others remain strong, helping you build more stable, recurring income.
Your investment includes professional animal care training through Animal Ed, giving you practical knowledge in welfare, behaviour, safety and best practice. This builds confidence and credibility from day one, while reassuring customers that their pets are in qualified hands.
This is one of the most common questions we hear. Yes, you could start independently.
But most independent businesses face major challenges:
Building alone can take years of trial and error.
Franchising helps you shortcut that learning curve. You still build your business.
You simply do it with proven systems, trusted branding and experienced support behind you.
We don’t just sell territories. We help people build businesses that create freedom, flexibility and long-term income.
For many franchisees, joining We Love Pets has meant:
This is about more than pets. It is about creating a life you choose.
You’ve seen what makes We Love Pets different - ethical pet care, industry-leading support, expert training and a proven business model designed for long-term success.
If you’re ready to explore whether franchise ownership could be right for you, we’d love to help.
