Dogstown University
Franchise Overview
This franchise concept operates resort-style doggie daycare and boarding facilities for dogs and cats, targeting pet owners with busy schedules who want quality supervised care for their animals. The business model centers on providing a safe, clean, and stimulating environment where pets receive exercise, socialization, and attentive care from trained staff. Franchisees benefit from a comprehensive training program conducted at the flagship Florida location, covering facility operations, dog selection and behavior, permit acquisition, facility design, and business management.
The franchisor provides support throughout the buildout process including space design and permitting guidance. A royalty fee of 5% of monthly gross revenues applies.
The concept was founded by a mother and son team with a vision of creating a premium, community-oriented pet care experience. The storefront-based model requires a physical facility with kennel systems and specialized equipment, making it well-suited for franchisees seeking a brick-and-mortar pet services business in a growing industry.
