A Dog Lover's Dream Job

Playing. Barking. And plenty of tail wagging. It's just a typical day at Dogtopia Daycare and Spa. Here you'll find an upscale pet retreat where dogs enjoy being themselves while their owners are at work or away.
At Dogtopia, dogs enjoy supervised play in an "open" environment with no individual kennel runs. Instead they spend their day sniffing, frolicking and doing what dogs love best - having fun. Best of all, mom and dad can check in via webcam. So if you're looking for a proven franchise system that shares your passion for furry friends, you're barking up the right tree.

A Doggone Good Business

Imagine building your own business in a fast-growing industry, while working with adorable four-legged clientele. As a Dogtopia owner, you'll provide a much-appreciated service and act as the "pack leader" of an expanding family. Plus you'll have the added benefit of the strong bonds that you develop with employees and customers because of the passion you share.

Where can I see Dogtopia's FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document)?

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
