What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document states that the All Dogs Unleashed system, confidential manuals, and the products and services offered by the franchised business may be modified from time to time by All Dogs Unleashed. These modifications can include adding, deleting, or changing operating procedures, products, and services.
As a franchisee, you must comply with all such modifications at your own expense. All Dogs Unleashed will notify you of any system changes, and you are required to implement these changes upon receiving notice from All Dogs Unleashed, completing the implementation within the timeframe that All Dogs Unleashed specifies.
Furthermore, if a franchisee, their employees, or owners develop any new concept, process, or improvement related to the operation or promotion of an All Dogs Unleashed business, they must promptly notify All Dogs Unleashed and provide all necessary related information without compensation. This highlights that while franchisees must adhere to changes implemented by All Dogs Unleashed, any improvements they develop become the property of the franchisor.
