Hounds Town USA - Franchise
At Hounds Town, we cater to the growing need for pet services and differentiate ourselves based on ‘doing everything for the dog’. We offer interactive doggie daycare, overnight boarding, grooming, and more!
Founded by a former NYPD K-9 Unit Handler and Commanding Officer of the Nassau County Police Department, everything we do is rooted in true dog psychology, from how we build locations to how we group the pups who visit us.
When you open a Hounds Town in your community, you will provide a service unlike anything else on the market.
Not only will you be changing the lives of dogs (and having fun while at it!) you will also be generating a strong income for yourself and your family.
