THE OPPORTUNITY
A $165 billion industry, growing a projected 4.4% year over year and showing no sign of slowing. Grooming is one of its fastest-growing corners, and mobile is leading it.
Most ways into the pet business are expensive:
- Veterinary clinic: ~$1.37M – $3.2M
- Boarding + daycare: ~$525K – $1.075M
- Pet retail: ~$502K – $1M
- Mobile grooming with Hydrodog: a fraction of that
Lower cost to start. Faster to profit. No real estate to carry. The business goes where the dogs are.
THE MODEL - Care. Convenience. Culture
Care. A grooming experience dogs actually handle. Gentle, one-on-one, at their pace. Calmer dogs, happier clients, work you can be proud of.
Convenience. We come to them. No drop-off, no cages, no waiting room. That's not a discount service — it's a different one, and it earns premium rates.
Culture. The foundation for sustainable growth. You're not just buying a franchise. You're joining a culture where respect + kindness come first. Care isn't extra around here. It's the baseline — and it's what keeps a team together.
HYDRODOG SUPPORT - Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
- One operating system. Bookings, revenue, payments, routing, hiring, and your fleet — all in one dashboard.
- Real technology. MoeGo for scheduling + route optimization, tools that catch dropped bookings and follow up, automated reminders that keep your calendar full.
- A fast start. A 90-day launch plan + an SEO-built website so clients find you from day one.
- A full brand platform. Not just a logo. Messaging, social templates, photography, and the playbook to look established immediately.
- Training that doesn't stop. An online LMS, a 24/7 knowledge base, AKC-recognized certification, a dedicated coach, + a network of owners who've been where you are.
- Financing pathways to help you get in the door.
WHO IS RIGHT FOR HYDRODOG?
There's no single type. We built this for:
- The operator who wants a hands-on business of their own.
- The investor building a fleet.
- The groomer ready to own their business instead of clocking in.
- The professional who wants to build their portfolio in the pet industry.
No grooming experience required. What you need: drive, a head for people + dogs, and the discipline to run it well.
One thing isn't optional. You have to be a dog person.
YOUR PATH TO OWNERSHIP
- Request info. See how Hydrodog fits your goals.
- Review the numbers. Walk the unit economics + your market on a call.
- Get the FDD. Read it with your advisor. Ask anything.
- Lock your territory. Claim your area before someone else does.
- Leadership call. Meet the leadership team. Make sure it's a fit both ways.
- Get awarded + launch. Your outfitted van arrives, onboarding begins, you open.
