The decision to franchise Pampered Paws® wasn’t about growing locations — it was about finding partners who share the values that built this brand.
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.
For over four decades, we’ve built a reputation based on quality, education, innovation, and exceptional customer care. Our franchisees benefit from proven systems, comprehensive training, ongoing support, and a brand trusted by thousands of pet owners.
Whether you’re an experienced groomer, a business professional, or someone looking for a complete career change, we’ll provide the tools, systems, and guidance to help you succeed. You don’t need years of grooming experience — we’ll teach you our proven systems.

Why 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 47 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.

A Note From Our Founder
“We are not looking for franchisees who simply want to buy a business. We’re looking for partners who are ready to lead, learn our systems, and give every client — and every pet — the care that’s defined Pampered Paws® since 1979.”
Lesley Weeks — Founder & President, Pampered Paws® Limited
Franchise PartnershipNot everyone is the right fit — and that’s the point
We’re not looking for investors who want to buy a business and step back. We’re looking for partners who want to lead one.
Is Franchising Right for You?
We’re looking for motivated individuals who are passionate about customer service, strong leaders, financially responsible, ready to own and operate their own business, and committed to building a long-term future. You don’t need years of grooming experience — we’ll teach you our proven systems.
01 — Growth built on consistency
Sustainable success comes from steady service and earned client loyalty, not shortcuts.
02 — Standards that don't bend
Every location upholds the professionalism and pet safety that's built our name since 1979.
03 — Service before everything
Clients stay because they trust us. That has to shape every decision you make.
04 — Leadership, not just ownership
Franchise ownership means building a team and a culture, not just signing a lease.
05 — A real presence in your community
Our locations are meant to be respected local businesses, not storefronts.
06 — Never standing still
We expect our partners to keep learning and improving their operation.
“Our goal was never the number of locations. It’s a network of partners who become leaders in their own communities — while never losing the standards that got us here.”
If that sounds like you, we’d like to talk.
Request franchise informationInvestment overviewUnderstanding the investment
Financial strength matters, but it isn’t the deciding factor. What we’re ultimately looking for is leadership, integrity, and the ability to build real relationships in your community — the capital conversation comes after that.
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.
