What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Hydrodog Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific grooming services offered by a Hydrodog Business are not detailed in the provided excerpts. The FDD excerpts generally mention that Hydrodog Businesses offer "pet grooming services" and "Products and Services" that Hydrodog designates or approves.
Item 11.12 states that franchisees must only offer and sell the Products and Services that Hydrodog has designated or previously approved. These Products and Services must be obtained from designated or approved suppliers. Franchisees must maintain sufficient inventory to meet the daily demands of their Hydrodog Business, as specified in the System Standards.
To understand the exact scope of grooming services a franchisee can offer, a prospective franchisee should review the Hydrodog Operations Manuals, which contain mandatory and suggested specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules for the Hydrodog System. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to ask Hydrodog for a comprehensive list of approved grooming services, products, and suppliers during their due diligence process.
