Plans for a new dog day care centre and grooming salon have been submitted to Leeds City Council for a decision.
Pet care firm the Doggie Stop Ltd is asking for permission to convert a vacant warehouse at Lotherton Business Park in Garforth.
Up to 15 dogs would be accommodated at the centre each day. Six dogs booked in for grooming appointments.
Plans for the Lotherton Way site include a shop selling goods for pets.
A planning report said jobs would be created if Leeds City Council gives consent for a change of use of the building.
