We have established a franchise business model that positions us to be the best franchisor in the industry, not necessarily the largest.

Our growth plan allows us to give our franchisees the attention they deserve on an ongoing basis, not just during the franchise sales process.

In order to provide the most complete franchise service program, The Dog Stop Franchising, LLC has assembled a team of executives and management people with over 35 years of experience in building and SUPPORTING franchise programs.

To further assist you and help you through the initial ramp up period, we offer a progressive royalty program that reduces fees for the first 6 months of operation.

We recognize your primary efforts during this start-up period should be spent on building a client base and providing the very best dog care services possible.

While our competitors require a significant number of stores before offering any reduction in fees, we do it starting with the second store.

We also will consider area development agreements for those who qualify... but there is no pressure for anyone to develop more than one store.
