What actions are Canine Dimensions franchisees required to take to cooperate with inspections?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Canine Dimensions franchisees have a responsibility to cooperate fully in defending or settling litigation if it involves the brand's trademarks. Specifically, if litigation is instituted or threatened against a franchisee involving the Canine Dimensions marks, the franchisee must promptly notify Canine Dimensions and cooperate fully in the legal process.

This requirement ensures that Canine Dimensions can protect its brand and system standards. By mandating franchisee cooperation, Canine Dimensions aims to maintain a consistent and high-quality brand image across all franchise locations and prevent any unauthorized use of its intellectual property.

For a prospective Canine Dimensions franchisee, this means being prepared to actively participate in any legal defense or settlement negotiations related to the brand's trademarks. This could involve providing documentation, testimony, or other forms of assistance as needed. Failure to cooperate could potentially lead to legal repercussions or a breach of the franchise agreement.
