Types of Dog & Kennel Franchises

A kennel or doggie day care franchise offers several options. Your location can offer both a day care option, allowing the pets to socialize while their owners are at work, as well as overnight boarding, for when owners are out of town. Additionally, your kennel and dog day care can provide private rooms for each pet, or a kennel, as well as an open play area for the dogs to roam and interact with one another.
