Your pricing can make or break your business!
Surprisingly most pet care facilities have NOT priced their services profitably. This is a significant part of the reason most business owners aren’t achieving the results they deserve – and in some cases, are not being paid at all.
- Altering your prices can be dangerous. Only after thoroughly analyzing your market do we provide pricing recommendations for your services. In addition, we provide all the tools necessary to successfully implement new pricing, including tools to build staff buy-in and client communication.
- Pricing is a critical, but complicated, aspect of your business. It’s also one of the most powerful ways to impact your ability to recover your costs, invest in your business, and achieve the standard of living you deserve. The way you communicate your pricing to your clients is often even more important than the numbers themselves. We provide thorough competitive and market analyses to help determine and maintain your most efficient and profitable pricing for your individual market/situation.
- Pet care facilities that provide premium care should be able to charge premium rates. As your operating costs increase (utilities, taxes, labor…) your prices should be adjusted accordingly.
- Many owners come to us providing excellent care but aren’t charging properly. Therefore, they aren’t making enough money for themselves or their business. In addition, this lack of revenue will create a vicious cycle for their staff and insufficient building or business maintenance.

- Waitlist Management - Periods of high vacation travel represent your greatest opportunities.

In a very short amount of time, they brought me three highly qualified candidtates, which resulted in an offer they helped me structure to one of them. I highly recommend Laura Laaman's hiring assitance process and I would not hesitate to use this service again.

In just 18 months, Outstanding Pet Care increased our revenue by over $1,000,000. Due to this increased revenue, we received a minimum of $1,000,000 in additional revenue when we successfully sold our business.”
Chris Starko, Nashville, TN
We have been working with Laura Laaman since 2004. Since then she has helped us transform our business in ways we could never imagine. In the first month, the busiest time of the year, with no additional capacity we increased our revenues by 33%. The best part is although we always provided exceptional care, our pets were even happier and healthier. Since working with Laura and her team we have conservatively realized an additional $5,000,000 in additional revenue to date. Any company that works with Laura will understand her commitment to quality pet care and that her proven systems will equal success.

Rover Oaks has been a client of Outstanding Pet Care program for years and couldn't be more pleased with the results! It's nice to see that, thanks to the guidance and support of the OPC team, our revenues and profits can match the level of care we provide!
Steve Smith, Rover Oaks Pet Resort
Hiring Laura and the OPC team was a pivotal defining moment for our business. In our first year with OPC, we increased $330,000 over our previous year. She was instrumental in helping us transition from an all-inclusive lodging model where our revenue per pet per night was capped, to a more progressive and profitable model where the sky is the limit. We like to call her our revenue rainmaker!
Hailey Seidel, Bow Dog Canine Specialists
We have used OPC’s hiring services both to fill a key position rapidly and to develop new positions within our organization. The experience has been seamless and allowed our managers and CEO to continue normal operations while OPC recruited and screened potential candidates. The OPC team is responsive, thoughtful, and targeted. We have been delighted with the results!

Outstanding Pet Care was instrumental in significantly increasing our revenues for the past five years. In addition to substantially increasing profits year after year, we recently sold our facility for at least a million more. Any smart business owner should join OPC right away.
