What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hydrodog is identified as an approved supplier of both HydroDog Vehicles and subleases for HydroDog Vehicles. This means that franchisees can obtain their vehicles and subleases directly from Hydrodog.
The FDD also states that Hydrodog reserves the right to designate itself as the only approved supplier for additional products and services in the future. This gives Hydrodog the flexibility to control the supply chain and potentially increase revenue through supplier arrangements.
If a franchisee chooses to lease a HydroDog vehicle from a vendor other than Hydrodog's approved vendor, they must submit the proposed lease to Hydrodog for approval before signing it. This ensures that all leases meet Hydrodog's standards and protects the brand's interests. Franchisees should be aware that Hydrodog can revoke approval of particular suppliers if they no longer meet the company's standards, and franchisees must then stop buying from the disapproved supplier.
