Grooming added to firm’s global dog services

 

British global dog services company Bark & Birch has expanded with a fourth revenue stream, to include grooming services across all of its territories.

 

The news comes hot on the heels of an announcement that the global company will expand into several new territories in 2022, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong.

 

The company will also move into further European territories, including France and Germany this year after officially launching in Brazil.

 

CEO Nick Rijniers said: “This year was always going to be a huge one for Bark & Birch. We really do want to be a global one-stop shop for all dog services and we can't wait to include grooming to our already expansive list of services.

 

“I wanted to provide an all-encompassing dog services company to include doggy daycare, training, boarding and grooming as a one-stop shop so that owners don’t have to drop their precious pups at various different places.

 

"We want to be with dogs from them being a puppy to the very end and provide every single service they may need, holding their paws throughout for their every need. We want to be that full trusted provider."

 

Twenty-eight-year-old Nick has managed to lead the company to global success in two short years, turning over $8 million dollars in the second year of business. The company is predicted to be valued at $100 million in 2022 after a further investment round.

 

Bark & Birch currently train almost 1,000 dogs a month. The team of highly experienced dog behaviourists and ex-police/army dog handlers rehabilitate and teach basic and advanced obedience, either as part of a residential ‘Board and Train’ programme or through a series of private one-to-one sessions.
