Privately funded from personal loans and savings DogGos LTD has grown steadily over the past two years with many of our customers joining us from the start and growing with us! Navigating and being agile adjusting what needed to be adjusted ever being nimble and creative in our solutions all while sticking to our core beliefs that the dogs come first. Maintaining an open inviting but secure environment not only for our dogs but for their owners as well. We pride ourselves on being the dog daycare people in our city come to with nervous and rescued pets. Our space is bright, open fun and the staff is always attentive to the needs or guests. We work with all dogs we are very proud of the ones who have come out of their shell with us. The best reviews we get are from the dogs, dragging their owners in or whining with anticipation when they turn down the street. Once we have a customer, we rarely lose them.
Now it is time for us to continue our growth! Unfortunately, we can’t without a bigger space. We have the option to purchase and conduct minor renovations on an 8000 sq ft building with lot right along a main artery in our charming city. This location has many benefits to our business
- Income potential up to 1.5 Million dollars per year
- Location – High Traffic easy to access location (Everyone would drive past us to the Airport)
- Large industrial space that will maintain value and be easily repurposed
- Visibility -Viewable from the TransCanada Highway
- 90 % ready to move in for our business model! (Minimum Renovation costs)
We are looking for the capital to invest in a building that would allow us to grow into a million dollar plus year location. Moving to the new location would allow us to have capacity for 80-100 Dogs, that would be 5 times what we support now, for a mere 15% more in operational overhead! There are 30,000 plus dogs in Medicine Hat and their owners are looking for a place that cares! We are already at the daily average numbers that would support the location! We just lack the capital funds to get there.
Once purchased we would like to take the space and “Open” it up as our current model is to be open and secure for the dogs, where an owner can walk into our business and see their dog and everyone else’s playing together. We live with the dogs every day, engaging, supervising and enriching their lives and want to continue that. Based on what we have learned in our current location we would want to accomplish the following goals
- Separation of overnight kennels from daycare play area
- Separation of a High end grooming “salon” style area
- A larger more secure outside area
- Multiple large play areas for different sizes/breeds of dogs
- Staff room
- Space for sustainable breeding of dogs (1-2 litters per year)
- Improved staffing coverage for improved service and increased growth
We are a group of go getters, never afraid of a challenge. The current locations interior was planned, and implemented by us! Our ability to adapt and pivot is one our greatest strengths, we are always looking for ways to improve the business operations, we are currently on revision 2 of our layout and looking forward to taking what we learned to improve our service in a new space! As you can see plans are already underway!
Operationally our goal is to maintain our steady sustainable growth with our discovered ratio of 1 staff per 20 dogs plus a front-line manager who takes phones calls, welcomes customers, provides tours and runs social media. We are currently stuck at 1 staff and a front line manager. Customers have expressed concerns when there are not enough staff on hand even when the pack is under control. But until our daily visits grow, we are stuck, as we can’t grow our base until we have more space.
Thank you for taking the time to read about DogGos and what we want to do! Please don’t hesitant to reach out and check out our people and pack via Facebook or our website. If you are local stop by I would love to give you the tour! We are proud of the great things we are doing by shaking up the local industry and forcing improvements in our little city when it comes to dog care. We look forward to working with you to continue that success on a much larger scale that will enhance the lives of all our furry friends.
