FAQs

What makes the PHG opportunity so special?

PHG offers the chance to build a professional, premium pet care business in one of the most rewarding industries there is.

You’re hands-on, active, and working with animals every day as your own boss, while building something meaningful and sustainable for the long term.

It’s a business built on trust, care, and genuine relationships. Crucially, you’re never on your own.

Support is available 24/7 and comes directly from the franchise owners, Ritchie and Amber Clarke.

What is the lifestyle really like as a PHG franchisee?

For animal lovers, it can genuinely feel like a dream come true. The biggest joy is working hands-on with animals every day while being your own boss.

The lifestyle and day-to-day work are shaped entirely by the services you choose to offer.

That freedom and independence, combined with excellent ongoing support, allow you to build a genuinely flexible lifestyle which works for you.

What services can I offer?

PHG franchisees can offer dog walking, home pet visits, house sitting, and small animal care.

You have complete freedom to focus on the services that suit you, your territory, and how you want to work, while maintaining the high standards PHG is known for.

Do I need professional pet care or business experience?

No professional pet care or business experience is required.

What is essential is a genuine love for animals and some hands-on experience, whether that’s caring for family pets, or volunteering at a dog or cat shelter.

How much can I realistically earn?

To give genuine real-world context, Ritchie and Amber still personally run PHG Southampton alongside operating the PHG franchise.

Even while running the wider franchise, that business consistently generates over £55,000 per year in revenue.
