Long Standing Animal Hospital in South Suburbs with Real Estate
Illinois, United States
IL, US
Animal hospital with over 40 years of history. Great, consistent clientele with good profits! Current owner only works three hours a day six days a week. This location was initially an emergency animal hospital that was open a minimum of 12-16 hours a day. Since then, the owner/seller has brought down the number of staff and hours to coincide with his semi-retired life, but the hours available each day 8a-11a are packed with clients coming in with their pets for various reasons. All vet services from neutering, spading, surgical, dental care, prescription diets and products are provided at this location. PLEASE NOTE: The operation has been run without a CRM, but does accept credit cards with a strong client base in the area. They are one of the very few animal hospitals in the immediate area. There will be a need to update their operating systems and to hire additional staff. Real Estate also available via a commercial real estate broker!

What to know about pet services acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating pet services acquisitions.
Check the facility, zoning, and noise permits
Boarding and daycare need suitable space and zoning/noise clearance that retail doesn't — confirm the location is compliant and the lease supports the use.
Review reputation and incident history
One serious incident or a wave of bad reviews can sink a pet business; look at online reputation, complaints, and liability claims.
Separate recurring services from retail
Grooming, boarding, and daycare memberships are stickier and higher-margin than product sales — a productive groomer alone can generate $80K–$120K a year. Get the mix.
Assess staffing, training, and turnover
Skilled groomers and reliable care staff are hard to hire and central to quality; understand pay and turnover.
Understand the owner's hands-on role
Many shops are the owner grooming, managing, and greeting clients — know what running it actually requires.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common buyer questions for this market.
Yes, supported by recurring demand. Lenders look at groomer dependence, facility suitability, and recurring revenue, so a business that isn't one person and a table funds more easily.
