What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees have the option to renew their franchise agreement for two additional five-year terms. However, this right is contingent upon meeting specific requirements at the end of each preceding term.

To be eligible for renewal, the All Dogs Unleashed franchisee must provide notification of their intent to renew to All Dogs Unleashed between 180 days and 12 months before the current term expires. They must also be in full compliance with all material terms and conditions of the existing agreement and must have fulfilled all financial obligations to All Dogs Unleashed, its affiliates, and third-party suppliers. The franchisee is also expected to maintain and renovate the facility to meet All Dogs Unleashed's current standards and have secured the rights to remain in possession of the facility.

Furthermore, the All Dogs Unleashed franchisee must meet the then-current qualifications and training requirements, sign the franchisor's current form of franchise agreement (which may have materially different terms), have each owner execute a personal guaranty, and sign a general release in favor of All Dogs Unleashed. Lastly, the franchisee must pay a renewal fee, the amount of which is stated in the Summary Page of the agreement.
