700m² Premium Canine Facility | Operational Business | Major Growth Potential
Rare opportunity to acquire one of Lisbon’s most recognised premium dog care businesses — a fully operational 700m² canine facility in central Lisbon with established clients, experienced staff, strong local reputation, and major untapped growth potential.
Recognised among the Top 5 Dog Daycare Facilities in Lisbon & Porto, this business combines an established reputation, existing customer base, and large-scale infrastructure already built — creating an exceptional opportunity for the right buyer.
This is not a startup, not an empty facility, and not a business built from theory.
It is an already functioning operation with clients, staff, suppliers, and immediate continuity from day one.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY STANDS OUT
Prime Central Lisbon Location
Located in central Lisbon, in one of Europe’s strongest and fastest-growing pet-care markets, serving:
- High-income urban pet owners
- Expats and international residents
- Premium pet-care consumers
- Busy professionals seeking trusted daycare and boarding
Lisbon continues to attract affluent international residents while demand for premium pet services continues to grow.
FULLY OPERATIONAL BUSINESS (SINCE 2023)
The business already benefits from:
✔ Existing and recurring customer base
✔ Existing operational staff/team in place
✔ Established supplier relationships
✔ Existing workflows and day-to-day systems
✔ Proven local market presence
✔ Customer trust and recognised market positioning
For a new owner, this means:
No setup phase. No recruitment from scratch. No building from zero.
The hard part is already done.
APPROX. 700m² OF READY-BUILT INFRASTRUCTURE
A rare, already operational facility including:
✔ Multiple operational floors
✔ 2 ground-floor play parks
✔ Large additional recreation area in basement
✔ Expansion potential for additional park space
✔ Indoor daycare areas
✔ Premium dog hotel / overnight boarding operation
✔ 24/7 supervised overnight care area
✔ Family-style boarding philosophy (designed to feel closer to a home environment rather than traditional kennel boarding)
✔ 5 boarding boxes (used selectively for specific needs and welfare management rather than standard accommodation)
✔ Fully installed grooming room
✔ Small canine gym / enrichment space
✔ Dedicated office / administration area
✔ Kitchen
✔ 2 bathrooms / staff facilities
✔ Segmented operational areas for size, temperament, and energy-level management
SIGNIFICANT UNTAPPED UPSIDE
The facility is currently operating well below its physical capacity, creating a highly attractive opportunity for a new owner to scale rapidly without major capex, relocation, or infrastructure investment.
Immediate growth opportunities include:
- Premium daycare memberships
- Grooming expansion
- Puppy school & training
- Behavioural programs
- Group classes
- Senior dog care
- Pick-up & drop-off services
- Wellness & enrichment programs
- Premium boarding add-ons
WHY BUY THIS INSTEAD OF BUILDING FROM SCRATCH?
Because the difficult part has already been done:
Facility built.
Operations functioning.
Staff in place.
Customers already acquired.
Suppliers established.
Market recognition achieved.
Growth capacity still largely untapped.
A particularly strong fit for:
✔ International entrepreneurs relocating to Portugal
✔ Pet industry operators
✔ Groomers or trainers seeking expansion
✔ Veterinary or pet-care groups
✔ Lifestyle business buyers
✔ Investors seeking scalable niche opportunities
Reason for sale: Owner is now focused on a separate business project, creating an opportunity for a new operator to fully unlock the business potential.
