The objectives of the study are to identify existing reference foreign and domestic analogues of such complexes and their individual modules, identify the main factors of these facilities, and form a comprehensive assessment of the condition of existing facilities of the selected infrastructure. Based on foreign and domestic experience, the results of the analysis of spatial planning solutions for facilities for pets and stray animals revealed their patterns and features in design principles, obtained their spatial planning models, and formed a comprehensive assessment of the current state of facilities. The significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that a comprehensive assessment of the state of existing facilities makes it possible to identify the main influencing factors and formulate the principles of forming an ideal model for the development of the complex on the basis of separately existing facilities in the pet service sector.
