💰 Are rising costs eating your profits alive—and leaving your daycare feeling like hard work for little reward?

Most pet care owners are stuck in the same trap:

Scared to raise prices in case clients leave.
Running “pile-’em-high” playgroups that drain staff and destroy margins.
Watching costs skyrocket while their take-home pay shrinks.
Struggling to stand out in a market full of copy-cat competitors.

At the Pet Boarding & Daycare Expo in Hershey, everyone’s favourite pet biz Brit (and the host of our very own podcast) Dominic Hodgson will show you how to flip the script.

In two power-packed sessions—'The Price is Right!’ and ‘The Enrichment Economy’—you’ll discover how to:

✅ Confidently increase prices without losing clients.
✅ Add profitable upsells and premium services that fund your future growth.
✅ Escape the outdated volume model and build an experience-first facility dogs love and clients rave about.
✅ Master the price / profit / power triangle so every rise fuels expansion, not exhaustion.

If you’re tired of running faster just to stand still, it’s time to charge more, deliver better, and build a business that lasts.

🐕 Do your playgroups sometimes feel more like chaos than controlled fun?

If your answer is yes, the truth is you’re not alone. That’s the reality for many daycare owners:

Rowdy puppies that turn playtime into pandemonium.
Packs that tip from fun to fights in a heartbeat.
Staff who miss the early warning signs in canine body language.
Overstimulated dogs that go home stressed instead of satisfied.

At the Pet Boarding & Daycare Expo, founder of Dog Handler Acadmey Eve Molzhon will show you how to take back control of the playroom.

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Read canine body language before problems escalate.
✅ Balance group energy so play stays safe and fun.
✅ Design enrichment activities that engage every type of dog.
✅ Run playgroups that dogs love—and owners rave about.

Great playgroups don’t just happen by chance. They’re built by skilled handlers with the right tools and systems who spot the tell-tale signs when things aren’t going to plan.

Still assuming your clients are getting their dogs’ faecal tests done at the vet?

Worried about parasites spreading in your playgroups – but don’t know where to start with prevention?

And how could introducing a simple new service create a fresh revenue stream and set your facility apart from the competition?

In this episode, Dom Hodgson is joined by John Beres and Greg Page from Canine Lab Testing, the game-changing service transforming how boarding and daycare facilities manage parasite prevention. John and Greg explain why most pet parents aren’t getting faecal tests done (spoiler: compliance rates are around 20%), how parasites spread silently without showing clinical signs, and how their easy, vet-backed solution gives you total control over testing – while generating reliable new income.

Does grooming in your business feel more like a headache than a safe haven?

For many daycare facility owners, the thought of offering in-house grooming services brings up nothing but stress:

Endless staff turnover with groomers who don’t stick around.
Struggles to hire staff who fit the culture (instead of blowing it up).
A service with the potential to be profitable – but the feel of utter chaos.

At the Pet Boarding & Daycare Expo in Hershey, industry veteran and grooming expert Joe Zuccarello will show you how to flip grooming from a burden into a business-builder.

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Find and hire the right grooming staff to strengthen your culture.
✅ Keep good groomers longer (and reduce staff turnover).
✅ Build a grooming program that boosts satisfaction – for you, your team, and your clients.
✅ Turn grooming into a smooth, profitable operation instead of a daily drain.

If the mere thought of grooming in your daycare has you reaching for the headache tablets, come to Hershey and hear Joe’s actionable, permanent solutions so you can stop wincing every time you notice a dog’s coat getting shaggy.
