What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to maintain a membership with the International Association of Canine Professionals. The estimated cost for this membership ranges from $200 to $400. This cost is incurred as arranged with outside suppliers.
This membership fee is part of the initial investment a new Canine Dimensions franchisee must make. It is important to note that this fee is paid to an outside supplier, not directly to Canine Dimensions. The FDD indicates that payments made to Canine Dimensions and its affiliates are non-refundable under any circumstances, but it does not specify whether fees paid to third parties like the International Association of Canine Professionals are refundable.
Prospective franchisees should consider this membership fee as a mandatory part of their initial costs. They should also inquire with both Canine Dimensions and the International Association of Canine Professionals about the benefits of the membership and any potential refund policies. Understanding the value and terms of this membership is a crucial part of evaluating the overall investment in a Canine Dimensions franchise.
