What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Initial Tools Package contains the equipment, inventory, and materials needed to start a Hydrodog business, excluding the truck. Hydrodog is currently the only approved supplier of this package.
Prospective franchisees must acquire the Hydrodog vehicle and receive the Initial Tools Package before opening their business. The FDD states that a franchisee cannot open for business until the Initial Tools Package has been received.
This requirement ensures that franchisees have all the necessary items to begin operations, maintaining consistency and quality across all Hydrodog locations. Franchisees should confirm with Hydrodog a comprehensive list of all items included in the Initial Tools Package to fully understand the initial investment and operational requirements.
