Can franchising really make lives easier? One unique concept is aiming to help do just that by picking up where pets left off.
The franchising industry is awash in big chain restaurants, hotels, automotive services, and home repair. While all of these categories are imperative to making consumers’ lives easier and tend to come to mind first when thinking of franchising, there are some franchises that are helping consumers in ways they may not even think of.
DoodyCalls, the nation’s leading pet waste removal service for dog owners, has created a franchise model that enhances the lives of franchise owners and their clients. DoodyCalls teams around the country do the dirty work dog owners may not want or have time to do, day in and day out. Their independent, successful owners serve communities with reliable pet waste clean-ups and lawn treatments.
Dogs are man’s best friend and pet owners should be able to focus their time on the comfort and happiness pets bring. But with a pooch comes the poop – an inevitable unavoidable mess to deal with - and that’s where DoodyCalls franchise owners provide a supportive scoop to each customer. Being a pet waste removal company that offers a variety of solutions for pet owners, commercial properties, and community managers means that DoodyCalls franchise owners stay busy, communities stay clean and dogs stay happy.
The pet-centric franchise has established a firm commitment to consistently delivering the best in pet waste removal services, so customers don’t have to think twice about it while offering a 100% satisfaction guarantee to keep any new customer worries at bay.
After seeing that pet owners throughout the country didn’t have proper access to pet waste removal services, DoodyCalls began their franchise program in 2004 bringing excited entrepreneurs a chance to introduce a unique business into their very own communities. Today the company still aims to offer an opportunity for entrepreneurs to build a life for themselves while helping to make the world a bit cleaner and lightening the burden for pet owners. Built on a desire for clean, quick, convenient pet mess clean up, new DoodyCalls franchise owners are also afforded a turn-key onboarding process that helps make the sometimes scary endeavor of franchising a little more manageable.
One of the best benefits of DoodyCalls as a franchise concept is the support that’s provided to all franchise owners. The insight and knowledge of the franchise development staff make it simple to identify if a DoodyCalls franchise is right for you. Once franchise owners join, they are then fully trained on business ownership and industry-specific best practices. In addition to a franchise management team with decades of collective experience, franchise owners have the full support of the franchise system behind them for further growth opportunities.
The franchise concept doesn’t just aim to clean up the mess so dog owners don’t have to, but the executive team has spent years streamlining customer service protocol and – under guidance from parent company Authority Brands – fine-tuning a franchise model that makes business ownership for would-be entrepreneurs that much more attainable.
Being a part of a franchise collective like Authority Brands also gives DoodyCalls franchise owners a significant leg up over the competition. The size of the organization leads to stronger group buying power, its shared support services help take the pressure off of the individual franchise owner, and the opportunity to network with hundreds of franchise owners in adjacent industries makes scaling a successful business quite simple.
From the introductory call to long-term ownership, DoodyCalls supports location owners consistently and offers an easy-tofollow path to success in order to achieve or exceed every goal. With reoccurring revenue, limited competition, and no guesswork, the pet franchise allows for many franchise owners to keep their 9 to 5 while attaining success and growing their DoodyCalls customer base.
For over 20 years, DoodyCalls’ team of franchisees and technicians has been helping customers and their pets enjoy more time together without the mess. Since the franchise’s services are outdoors and no indoor access is needed, customers do not even need to be home for the service to be completed – helping avoid scheduling conflicts and saving even more time. Through their nationwide franchise network, DoodyCalls offers communities across the United States services including:
• For residential dog owners, DoodyCalls provides dog waste pickup, brown spot treatment, and deodorizing services to make yards sparkle.
• For communities and parks, DoodyCalls designs, sells, installs, services, and maintains common areas, pet waste stations, equipment, and supplies. This helps maintain overall community health and reduces many illnesses and pest concerns that accompany untreated or stranded pet waste in common areas.
As part of the Authority Brands franchise concept umbrella, DoodyCalls services are available alongside necessities like plumbing, HVAC, home painting, and more. Franchise owners with the pet waste removal brand scoop their way to success daily while having a chance to branch out into new industries and open additional franchises under Authority Brands. aB out Larry aM os:
Pet ownership continues to be on the rise and, with it, DoodyCalls will continue to offer top-notch services that help ease any burdens of canine companionship. DoodyCalls is currently seeking pet waste management franchise operators who align with the brand’s values of humility, ethical leadership, integrity, respect, and providing the best service experience possible.
With a franchise concept for almost every type of franchise owner, home service franchise concepts like Authority Brands are expanding their portfolio and ultimately helping entrepreneurs pursue their business passions while lightening the daily lift for consumers around the country.
