Does the Canine Dimensions DUT agreement specify inspections as a duty of the franchisor?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the excerpts provided do not specify that inspections are a duty of Canine Dimensions as the franchisor. While the document details various aspects of the franchise agreement, including the franchisee's obligations upon termination or expiration of the agreement, venue for disputes, and the grant of the franchise, it does not explicitly state that Canine Dimensions has a duty to conduct inspections of the franchisee's business.

However, the FDD does state that Canine Dimensions grants the franchisee the right to operate a Canine Dimensions franchise and to use the Marks, the Authorized Products and Services, and the System, as they may be changed, improved, and further developed from time to time. This suggests that Canine Dimensions has an interest in ensuring that the franchisee is operating the business in accordance with the System's standards and specifications.

A prospective franchisee should inquire with Canine Dimensions about whether inspections are part of the franchisor's oversight and support activities. Specifically, they should ask about the frequency, scope, and purpose of any inspections, as well as the consequences of failing to meet the franchisor's standards. Understanding the franchisor's inspection practices is crucial for a franchisee to ensure they are meeting expectations and maintaining the integrity of the Canine Dimensions brand.
