Pet Butler Franchise

Pet waste removal, pet sitting, dog walking

Everyone loves their dog, but no one likes cleaning up after it! Here are just some of the reasons why we're so excited about this opportunity:

* Close to 40% of US households own at least one dog.

* Two in ten dog owners own two dogs.

* One in ten dog owners own three or more dogs.

* In Baby Boomer households where there are no children under 18 years of age, more dogs are owned on average (two).

* There are over 63 million dogs in the US.

* The average dog leaves its owners 23 "presents" per week.

* 30 million US households have at least one dog and not one of these households enjoys cleaning up after it!

* Our first franchise (company owned) has over 3,000 USD clients in the Dallas Fort Worth Area of Texas and consistently serves several thousand pets and their owners each week.

* According to the U.S. Department of Commerce:
o Although only 8% of businesses are franchises, they represent 40% of all retail sales in the U.S.
o Proven methods are often better than trial and error.
o A franchise is usually easier to sell and has a higher value than an independent business.
o Consumers prefer a nationally recognized name 2 to 1.
o The synergy of a group of people, all contributing ideas and motivation, is a benefit to each individual.
