Oxfordshire Freehold Kennels & Cattery For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this wonderful 7 bedroom family house with attached granny annex together with an extremely well established kennel and cattery business.

The business, which was originally founded in 1951 has been owned by our clients for over 20 years and is only now being reluctantly offered for sale as they wish to retire.

The business is well known for its excellent service and animal care, it has a capacity for 70 dogs and 30 cats and due to their reputation achieves occupancy rates above those normally expected.

The business is currently run by the 2 vendors, a husband and wife team, who achieve annual sales of circa £65,000 and net profits of approximately £39,000.

The accommodation comes in a wide range of different sizes to suit the breed being houses and all are heated as standard.

They have a separate isolation kennel to house captured dogs so that the health of the dog can be ascertained before they join the main kennel area.

Each dog has individual exercise on a concrete run and then into a paddock area where they can see all the other dogs.
