Established in 1971, this highly recognized animal care facility offers a rare opportunity to acquire a long-standing business and specialized commercial property in growing Kent County. Positioned on approximately 4.6 acres along a highly traveled Class A road with excellent visibility, the property is currently permitted for overnight boarding, grooming, and cremation services, creating multiple income streams with room for future expansion. The 11,050 square foot facility is licensed for up to 165 animals and includes 68 dog kennels with outdoor runs, 8 deluxe dog kennels, 38 cat kennels, oversized kennels, and multiple indoor and outdoor play areas. The layout was designed for operational efficiency and client experience, featuring separate lobby and office areas for both the boarding and cremation businesses, along with a fully equipped grooming facility complete with two wash tubs and everything needed to support full-service grooming operations. Additional amenities include a break room, full bathroom, walk-in cooler, commercial washer and dryer, and separate employee and customer parking areas. A standout feature of the property is the state-of-the-art flushable drainage system throughout the kennel areas. Highly sought after in large-scale animal care facilities, these systems allow for faster cleaning, improved sanitation, better odor control, and more efficient daily operations while helping maintain a healthier environment for both animals and staff. The property is serviced by natural gas, a 4-inch well, and three septic fields. Building infrastructure includes four forced-air furnaces with central air conditioning and five energy recovery ventilator systems designed to maintain airflow and comfort throughout the facility. Included in the sale is extensive operational equipment, including grooming equipment, computer systems and software, and a modern aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis) cremation system. This eco-friendly alternative to traditional flame cremation uses approximately 10% of the energy required by conventional systems while producing no harmful emissions. This opportunity offers both proven operational history and future upside, with average monthly gross revenue over the past three years of approximately $30,061. Growth opportunities may include expanded grooming, daycare, training, retail sales, veterinary partnerships, additional boarding services, aftercare services, and strategic rate increases. With decades of established presence, specialized licensing, high visibility, and extensive infrastructure already in place, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for veterinary professionals, kennel operators, groomers, or entrepreneurs looking to expand or establish a premier animal care operation.
