Company Overviews

About U-Wash Doggie

U-Wash Doggie SCV was born out of Francisco Gamero’s recurring frustration over the hassle associated with washing his Golden Retriever, Max, in the bathtub at home.

Convinced there had to be a better way for pet washing, he opened the first U-Wash Doggie store in Santa Clarita, California in 1991. Now, U-Wash Doggie operates in two locations in SCV, Newhall and Saugus.

Both locations offer DIY, "Do It Yourself” pet wash and full service Professional Grooming of all pet breeds.

About Splash and Dash

What's the Bark on Pet Store Franchises? If you are looking for a business that is booming, then a pet franchise is the perfect opportunity. Right now this is a $73 billion a year industry. The growth over the last decade has been exponential and 2018 and beyond is forecasted to continue this trend. The pet industry has even been proven to be recession proof! People love their pets as family and are willing to spend money on them. This is a lucrative industry, so get started with your pet franchise now to start reaping the benefits.

 How are We Different from Other Pet Store Franchises? Splash & Dash have successfully modified the gym membership concept for the everyday dirty dog. Splash & Dash revolutionized the pet store industry by introducing a recurring revenue stream with our "unlimited monthly bath" membership with our Signature Service. The recurring revenue from the monthly bath membership has several benefits for franchise owners. This drives customers into the store where you can up-sell them on other services or even items in the boutique. It can also reduce your marketing costs.

The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Splash and Dash franchise is $119,250 to $221,600. This includes $63,000 to $70,500 that must be paid to the franchisor or affiliate. The total investment necessary to begin operation under a three- to five-unit Multi-Unit Development Agreement (including the first unit) is $141,750 to $262,100. This includes $84,500 to $105,500 that must be paid to the franchisor. You must develop at least three Splash and Dash units under the Multi-Unit Development Agreement.
