What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial advertising fee, ranging from $3,000 to $4,500, is payable as agreed upon with Canine Dimensions. This payment is made via a lump sum ACH transfer to Canine Dimensions prior to opening.
In addition to the initial advertising fee, franchisees must pay ongoing advertising fees. Franchisees are required to pay $1,000 per month for internet advertising, payable directly to Canine Dimensions. Some franchisees may choose to spend more on advertising, up to $1,500 per month, but this is not required.
Prospective franchisees should clarify with Canine Dimensions what the 'agreed upon' terms are for the initial advertising fee payment. Understanding the specific payment schedule and any potential flexibility is crucial for managing initial investment costs. Additionally, franchisees should factor in the mandatory ongoing monthly advertising fees into their operating budget.
