What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the royalty fees are due on Tuesday of each week, payable via ACH (Automated Clearing House). The royalty fee is 11% of Gross Sales or a minimum of $250 per week, whichever is greater. Gross Sales includes all revenue from the sale of services and any other income related to the franchised business, but does not include discounts, refunds, or sales and use taxes.
Canine Dimensions requires royalty fees to be paid through automatic debit, so franchisees must ensure funds are available in their account for withdrawal each week. Royalty assessments begin 30 days after the franchise starts operating. If a franchisee fails to report their Gross Sales, Canine Dimensions may debit their account for 120% of the last royalty debited. If this amount is less than what is actually owed, Canine Dimensions will debit the account for the remaining balance. Conversely, if the debited amount exceeds the actual royalty owed, the excess will be credited against the subsequent week's debit.
It is important for prospective Canine Dimensions franchisees to understand these payment terms and ensure they have sufficient cash flow to meet the weekly royalty obligations. The automatic debit system requires careful financial planning to avoid any overdraft fees or penalties. Additionally, franchisees should maintain accurate records of their Gross Sales to ensure correct royalty payments and avoid potential discrepancies with Canine Dimensions.
