What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor prescribes the hours and days of operation for a Hydrodog business. These hours are detailed in the Hydrodog manuals or must be approved in advance and in writing by Hydrodog.
This means that as a franchisee, you cannot simply decide your own hours of operation. Hydrodog sets the standard for when your mobile grooming business must be available to customers. This is likely to ensure consistent brand experience and customer service across all franchise locations.
It is important to review the Hydrodog manuals carefully to understand the required hours of operation and to factor these requirements into your business plan. If you foresee any potential conflicts with the prescribed hours, it would be prudent to discuss these concerns with Hydrodog during the due diligence process to seek clarification or potential accommodations.
