The Growing Pet Industry and Hydrodog's Advantage

HydroDog offers affordable entry and low-cost overhead to those interested in investing in a franchise. Our franchises are a model franchise for any entrepreneur. With multiple services offered, HydroDog is a household name for any pet owner. This means a repeat customer base and multiple streams of revenue to scale your business. This home-based service franchise is profitable year-round and has proven strong in any economic fluctuations.

HydroDog home office provides franchisees with ongoing training and support throughout their partnership with the brand. Buying a HydroDog franchise is buying your own business, but not going about it on your own. You have a pack of (Hydro) dogs supporting you.

The outlook for the mobile pet services industry is positive. The U.S. pet industry revenue surpassed $123.6 billion in 2021 and in 2023 grew to be worth $103.6 billion. The industry trajectory is strong, with an expected 8% annual growth through 2030. More and more people are adding pets to their families, increasing the need for HydroDog services. These fur babies are part of the family, and quality pet care is the norm. The Amazon Effect has created an expectation in society–HydroDog understands and is here to serve.

We offer financial support to help with your investment.

  • In-house financing is offered to qualified individuals to go toward the franchise fee. Additional support is available, referring to our lending partners for the remainder of your investment.

How to get Started in Franchising

Our discovery process is thorough, so it is important you complete each step. This developed undertaking is a way for both of us to get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit for one another.

With everything to consider when investing in a franchise–specifically a pet care franchise–our goal is to eliminate the risk and educate you so that you, in turn, can make the best-informed decision for yourself and your goals. This starts with understanding who we are as a brand, what all of the costs are with starting a mobile grooming and pet wellness business, and what happens after your commitment.
