What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the document includes a state-specific addendum for Maryland. This addendum is explicitly identified as the "State Addendum for the State of Maryland for Canine Dimensions Franchising, LLC and for its Franchise Agreement." It further clarifies that "This addendum amends the Disclosure Document and Franchise Agreement."
This indicates that the provisions within the Maryland addendum are specifically designed to address legal requirements and franchise terms applicable within the state of Maryland. The addendum serves to modify the standard franchise agreement to ensure compliance with Maryland state laws.
Therefore, it is unlikely that the Maryland addendum would directly apply to Canine Dimensions franchisees operating outside of Maryland. Franchisees in other states would be subject to the addenda, if any, specific to their own state's franchise laws.
