What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, written substantiation for the financial performance representation will be made available to a prospective franchisee upon reasonable request. This means that if Canine Dimensions provides any data regarding potential financial performance in Item 19 of the FDD, you, as a potential franchisee, have the right to ask for documented proof to back up those claims. This substantiation would provide additional evidence supporting the financial performance representation.
It is important to note that Canine Dimensions only makes financial performance representations in Item 19 of the FDD. Besides the financial performance representation, Canine Dimensions does not authorize employees or representatives to make any financial performance representations. However, if you are purchasing an existing outlet, Canine Dimensions may provide you with the actual records of that outlet.
If you receive any financial performance information or projections of your future income outside of Item 19, you should report it to Phil Guida at (888) 281- 3647, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies. This is to protect you from unauthorized or unsubstantiated claims. It is a common practice in franchising to provide substantiation upon request, ensuring transparency and allowing potential franchisees to make informed decisions.
