Brand Analysis
K-9 Franchising has 37 units, an Item 19 sample of just 17, and an investment range of $1,500 to $3.95M. The 2026 verdict depends entirely on which model — mobile or facility — the buyer chooses.
Brand Analysis
Petco does not franchise, and it never has. Two sponsors control the company behind the WOOF ticker. The franchised version of the store you searched for is Pet Supplies Plus, and its 2025 Item 19 reports a $2,496,071 median across 347 stores.
Hike Doggie is franchised by Happie Doggie, LLC (Area Representative), the franchisor entity of record on its Franchise Disclosure Document. Item 1 of the FDD discloses the franchisor's corporate history, parents, and predecessors.
No. Hike Doggie does not include a financial performance representation in its FDD. Prospective buyers should rely on validation calls with existing franchisees and benchmark against industry medians.
