Destination Pet, a leading provider of comprehensive pet care services, announced its acquisition of Pet Palace Pet Boarding Resort, a pet care facility with 11 locations in Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. This strategic acquisition strengthens Destination Pet's position as one of the fastest-growing and largest consolidators of pet care resorts in the US.
By adding Pet Palace to the Destination Pet network, the company gains access to new markets, a luxury pet resort brand, and the opportunity to extend its connected care model and innovative mobile application Yourgi to a broader customer base.
"We are incredibly excited to welcome Pet Palace and their 500+ employees into the Destination Pet pack,” says Jennifer Strickland Fowler, CEO of Destination Pet. “This acquisition aligns with our growth strategy and reinforces our commitment to becoming the go-to destination for pet care services. Pet Palace's remarkable reputation, top-tier facilities, and multi-state footprint enhance our portfolio and their commitment to exceeding the expectations of their pet families aligns with our own. Together, we will continue to raise the bar in pet care."
"As the founder of Pet Palace it was critical to me to find the right partner to carry forward the legacy I have built over the years,” says Brian Hudock, Founder and CEO of Pet Palace. “I selected Destination Pet for its commitment to growth, innovation, and delivering the best possible care to pets. I am excited to see how Destination Pet will build upon the foundation we have laid and take Pet Palace even further." Brian will continue to play a strategic advisory role with Destination Pet post-acquisition.
