TailWaggers Doggy Daycare® is second to none in its standards of operation and the quality of services it provides.

How much does it cost to start a TailWaggers Doggy Daycare® and what are the ongoing fees?

To give you an idea of the level of investment, the amount of personal cash available is a minimum of $100,000. The minimum net worth requirement is $500,000. Lending institutions may ask you to put down up to 30% to meet their requirements.

What does it take to own and operate a TailWaggers Doggy Daycare®?

A genuine love of dogs, a lot of hard work and dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Owning your own business, especially one that involves dogs, can be a very rewarding experience.

TailWaggers Doggy Daycare® will help to you to plan and prepare for the realities of your business. Through an in-depth training program and an on-going support program (which includes a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week help line) we will help you through the growth stages your business will experience, and into a strong and mature TailWaggers Doggy Daycare® franchise.
