What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as of the issuance date of the document, Canine Dimensions does not have purchasing and distribution co-operatives. However, Canine Dimensions may negotiate alternative purchase arrangements with suppliers and distributors of approved products for the benefit of franchisees and reserves the right to receive rebates on volume discounts from its purchase of products that it may re-sell to franchisees.
Canine Dimensions also reserves the right to negotiate prices in the future for various products for the benefit of the System, but not on behalf of or for the specific benefit of individual franchisees, but it currently does not do so. This means that while franchisees may not directly benefit from individually negotiated prices, the overall Canine Dimensions system could see price advantages that indirectly benefit franchisees.
It is important for a prospective Canine Dimensions franchisee to understand that while purchasing cooperatives are not currently in place, the franchisor retains the option to implement them or negotiate alternative purchasing arrangements in the future. This could potentially lead to cost savings or other benefits for franchisees, but there is no guarantee of such benefits. Franchisees should inquire about the specific criteria and processes Canine Dimensions will use to negotiate these arrangements and how any resulting benefits will be distributed among franchisees.
