What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must request consent in writing from All Dogs Unleashed at least 30 days prior to the proposed transfer. This request must include a copy of the proposed transfer agreements, detailing the sale terms.
This advance notice allows All Dogs Unleashed to assess whether the transfer will negatively impact the financial stability of the franchise. All Dogs Unleashed retains the right to evaluate the terms of the sale and ensure they do not compromise the business's future success.
This requirement is fairly standard in franchising, as franchisors typically want to maintain control over who enters their system and protect the brand. The 30-day window provides All Dogs Unleashed with sufficient time to review the proposed transfer and make an informed decision.
