Wag N’ Wash is a one-of-a-kind franchise that caters to the needs of pets, particularly dogs and cats, by offering premium care and products. Established in 1999 by Dan and Jef, the franchise emerged from their desire to spend more meaningful time with their dog, Geni.
The business initially focused on a dog bakery and self-service wash stations, which gained quick popularity. By the early 2000s, it expanded its offerings to include retail products and professional grooming services. Based in Livonia, MI, Wag N’ Wash began franchising in 2006, enabling its concept to reach more pet owners.
Wag N’ Wash sets itself apart in the pet care industry with its comprehensive range of services. These include expert grooming, self-service wash stations, and an extensive assortment of pet food, supplements, toys, and supplies.
Adding to its charm is the gourmet pet deli and bakery, where pets can indulge in treats like personalized birthday cakes and gotcha day cookies, creating a memorable experience for both pets and their owners.

Wag N Wash provides comprehensive training to franchisees to ensure successful business operations. The franchisor’s initial training program is mandatory for at least two trainees, one of whom must be a principal of the franchise entity.
The program spans a minimum of 80 hours and can extend to 160 hours for individuals without prior retail or pet industry experience.
The training covers crucial aspects such as inventory management, customer relationships, operation of the Point of Sale (POS) system, store maintenance, and back-office systems like accounting and inventory reporting.
Training sessions are conducted at a designated training location using Wag N Wash’s confidential Operations Manual and other proprietary materials.
While the initial training is tuition-free, franchisees are responsible for all associated expenses, including travel, lodging, meals, and employee salaries during the training.
Wag N Wash provides limited territory protection to its franchisees. While the franchisor grants a designated territory within which it will not open another franchise under the same brand, this protection does not include exclusivity in marketing rights or clientele.
The size and specifics of the territory are defined at the franchisor’s sole discretion and are detailed in the franchise agreement. Franchisees may still face competition from other franchisees, franchisor-owned outlets, or other distribution channels controlled by the franchisor.
The agreement emphasizes that territory protection is limited to the prevention of additional stores within the assigned area, but it does not fully shield franchisees from all forms of competitive activity. This arrangement ensures some level of operational exclusivity while maintaining the franchisor’s flexibility to expand the brand.
