The way we connect with dogs has changed over time, and they are increasingly considered pets that need a lot of care, both emotionally and physically. Recently, as the number of people having pets increased and with the evolution of society, the processes have had to adapt, and therefore, dog care has become more expensive. Adding to this, the lack of time, responsibility, or patience leads to a high number of dropouts and negligence with health care. This project intends to assess the economic and financial viability of creating a company with several services for dogs as well as a dog shelter. To this purpose and considering the importance of these issues through the analysis carried out in the literature review, this business plan was developed. After this first step, both the number of abandonments over the last few years and the evolution of the pet services market were also analyzed. The analyses carried out led to the creation of the Clube dos Patudos, where grooming, day care, hotel, and veterinary services can be provided. This business aims to eliminate some of the existing problems and needs in Portugal, helping not only animals and their owners but also society.
