What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Central Bark Doggy Day Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees receive 3 free email addresses, but will incur a monthly fee for each additional email address. Specifically, Central Bark Doggy Day Care charges a then-current fee of $5 per month for each additional email address beyond the initial three provided. This fee is incurred as the charges accrue.
This means that if a franchisee needs more than three email addresses for their Central Bark Doggy Day Care business, they should budget an additional $5 per month for each extra address. For example, if a franchisee requires five email addresses, they will pay $10 per month for the two additional addresses.
It is important to note that the fee is a 'then-current fee,' meaning Central Bark Doggy Day Care may increase this fee. Item 6 of the FDD states that unless otherwise stated, any 'then-current' fee may be increased annually by up to 10% on a cumulative basis over the term of the Franchise Agreement. Franchisees should factor in potential increases to this fee when planning their operating budget.
