What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after signing the Franchise Agreement, Dog Haus will designate its Dog Haus Approved Suppliers for the franchisee. Franchisees must purchase all Dog Haus Branded Products, Dog Haus Proprietary Products, Sub-Branded Products, and Non-Proprietary Products and Services for use and sale at the franchised restaurant from these approved suppliers, adhering to Dog Haus's written specifications. Dog Haus does not handle the delivery or installation of these products and services.
In addition to approved suppliers, Dog Haus will also designate Dog Haus Branded Products, Dog Haus Proprietary Products, Sub-Branded Products, and Non-Proprietary Products and Services that franchisees may or must stock and promote at their locations. This ensures consistency across all Dog Haus franchises and helps maintain brand standards.

They may also designate the location for the Pre-Opening Initial Training Program, which could be at their corporate office, another Dog Haus Restaurant, or another location. Franchisees are required to use all hardware and software designated by Dog Haus for their franchised restaurant and must maintain and update it as required.
