What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Hydrodog FDD, the Matted Pet Release Form is not explicitly mentioned within the provided excerpts. However, the FDD does state that Hydrodog franchisees will receive a copy of the Hydrodog operations manual, either physically or online. This manual contains mandatory and suggested specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules, which Hydrodog may modify or update periodically. Franchisees are responsible for monitoring the online version of the manuals for changes.
The FDD also indicates that Hydrodog has the right to inspect and copy any books, records, websites, or other documents relating to the operation of the Hydrodog Business. This suggests that Hydrodog maintains oversight over the forms and documents used within the franchise system.
Therefore, it is likely that the Matted Pet Release Form, if required, would be included in the operations manual or provided as a standard form by Hydrodog. A prospective franchisee should specifically ask Hydrodog whether a Matted Pet Release Form is required, and if so, where it can be found and how it should be used.
