What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are permitted to use the Dog Haus Marks and the Dog Haus System during the term of their Franchise Agreement. This means that as long as the agreement is active, franchisees have the right to operate their business using Dog Haus's branding, trademarks, and operational methods.
This permission is granted under Section 2.1 of the Franchise Agreement, as stated in Item 11. However, franchisees must adhere to the standards and procedures outlined in the Franchise Agreement and the Manuals. These guidelines ensure consistency across all Dog Haus locations and protect the brand's reputation. Franchisees must also comply with any updates or changes made to the Manuals at Dog Haus's discretion.
While franchisees have the right to use the Dog Haus Marks and System, they must also follow specific rules regarding online presence. Franchisees cannot register domain names containing Dog Haus Marks or market on websites using these marks without prior written approval from Dog Haus. This control helps Dog Haus maintain its brand image and marketing strategies across all digital platforms.
