ABOUT THE INDUSTRY
The mobile pet care industry is growing rapidly, driven by legislation, increased pet ownership, and a rising demand for convenient, at-home services like microchipping, nail clipping, and dog walking.
In 2016, a legal requirement was introduced for every dog in the UK to be microchipped. This, combined with the frequent appearance of lost pet stories on social media, pushed pet microchipping into the national spotlight. With more than 500,000 new puppies born in the UK each year, this has created consistent demand for professional microchipping services.
From 2024, it also became mandatory for all cats in England to be microchipped before they are 20 weeks old. Lost or stray pet cats are much more likely to be reunited with their owners if they are microchipped. The law now requires:
- All cat owners to ensure their cat is microchipped and registered by 20 weeks of age
- Owners to keep contact details up to date in an approved microchipping database
- Non-compliant owners to microchip their pet within 21 days or face a fine of up to £500
There are over 10.8 million pet cats in the UK, and an estimated 2.8 million remain unchipped, making it difficult to reunite them with their owners if lost or stolen. In fact, 8 out of 10 stray cats entering Cats Protection’s centres are not microchipped.

But microchipping is just one part of the opportunity.
Pet owners are increasingly looking for trusted mobile professionals to visit their homes for:
- Routine pet services like nail clipping
- Dog walking for busy schedules
- Pet pop-ins convenience-based care that reduces stress for pets and owners alike
This shift in consumer behaviour creates huge potential for professionals offering mobile pet services especially when presented with a high-quality, trustworthy brand.
With the changing laws, growing awareness around pet safety, and increasing demand for flexible, professional care, there has never been a better time to enter the mobile pet services industry.
Backed by a strong brand and an ultra-professional setup, new business owners can quickly establish a profitable and sustainable business in this fast-moving sector.

SALES POTENTIAL | MUST READ!!!
The demand for mobile pet services has grown rapidly in recent years and continues to rise. Pet owners are increasingly looking for professionals who can visit their home and offer services with convenience, care, and reliability.
Since it became a legal requirement for all cats in England to be microchipped, and with dogs already under mandatory microchipping laws across the UK, the need for this service has skyrocketed. Combined with everyday essentials like nail clipping, dog walking, and pet pop-ins, mobile pet care now represents one of the most accessible and profitable opportunities in the pet industry.
These services are easy to deliver, highly valued by customers, and can be carried out with minimal setup. Below is an example of the typical prices charged by franchisees for each service:
| Service | Average Fee per Appointment | Estimated Time | Corrected Potential Earnings (per hour) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mild Clipping | £22 - £35 | 10–15 minutes | £88 – £210 |
| Nail Clipping | £12 - £18 | 10–15 minutes | £48 – £108 |
| Dog Walking (30 mins) | £12 - £15 | 30 minutes | £24 – £30 |
| Dog Walking (1 hour) | £18 - £25 | 1 hour | £18 – £25 |
| Pet Pop-Ins (15–20 mins) | £15 - £20 | 15–20 minutes | £45 – £80 |
Note: Many franchisees group multiple services per visit (e.g., microchipping + nail clipping), increasing earning potential per stop.
This level of flexibility, paired with low overheads and high demand, means franchisees can build a highly profitable and sustainable business within a short period.
And with continued public awareness, legislative changes, and more pet owners valuing convenience and care, now is the perfect time to join the mobile pet care movement.
MICROPET CASE STUDY
MEET CHERYL
Cheryl joined Micropet in 2024 and has hit the ground running from day 1!
Completing her qualification earlier the same year, Cheryl’s original intention was to run this franchise part time around other commitments, however, it had soon become extremely busy with enquiries coming in left right and center for her, becoming fully booked very quickly.
In just a couple of months, Cheryl has witnessed the influx of enquiries from both the website and word of mouth, making her back to back with bookings in her area.
See Cheryl’s testimonial below…
I came across Micropet purely by accident, I was just having a nosey through different franchises and Micropet popped up.
As an animal lover i decided that maybe it was something I'd find interesting and having a look around in searches etc i couldn't actually find a local mobile microchip implanter so thought this could actually work and be an exciting new business venture.
Having spoken to one of the managers they soon put me at ease and explained everything fully.
Training was sorted within a week, which was easy to access online to do the theory and the trainer came to our house to do the practical.
I'm now fully booked, taking bookings daily alongside Micropet sending additional work my way.
I can now say that i love my job and can't wait to see what the future holds for me with Micropet. Best decision ever.
