Where can I find the effective date for the Canine Dimensions Franchise Disclosure Document?

According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit I, titled "Franchise Disclosure Document Receipts and State Effective Dates," contains the state effective dates. The document indicates that certain states require the Franchise Disclosure Document to be registered or filed with the state, or be exempt from registration. These states include California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

The Canine Dimensions FDD states that the document is effective and may be used in states where it is filed, registered, or exempt from registration, as of the effective date stated in Exhibit I. This implies that the effective date may vary by state depending on when the document was filed and approved in each specific location.

For a prospective Canine Dimensions franchisee, it is important to consult Exhibit I to determine the specific effective date for the FDD in their state. This date confirms when Canine Dimensions is legally allowed to offer and sell franchises in that state. If a state is not listed in Exhibit I, it may mean that Canine Dimensions is not yet registered to sell franchises there, or that registration is not required. It would be prudent to verify this information with the franchisor directly or consult with a franchise attorney to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
