Best Friends owns and operates 42 full-service pet care centers across the U.S., including at Walt Disney World^® Resort where Best Friends is the exclusive pet care provider. Founded in 1992, the company employs more than 1,000 people nationwide.

Best Friends Pet Care changed the face of pet boarding by creating the first national hotel chain for pets and by offering comprehensive pet care – boarding, grooming and training -- under one roof. Other innovations have included:  its doggy day camp program; the first online reservation system in the industry; introductions of webcams; use of social media; and its travelling Treat Truck, which visits dog parks giving away canine ice cream and cookies.

Over the years, Best Friends has made a priority of giving back to the community, organizing adoption events for animal rescues and hosting pet owner educational programs. The company’s holiday Angel Tree campaign, now in its 12^th year, collects donations to help homeless pets at local shelters and rescues.
