Premium Pet Care Franchise Opportunities
GoDog campuses deliver daycare, boarding, training, and bathing in one thriving, recession-resistant business model.
Brand overview
Founded in 2018 by father and son Jess and Ben Eberdt, GoDog was built on a simple belief: dogs deserve a second home where they can play hard and come home clean. Each GoDog campus provides a full range of pet services designed to promote the emotional, physical, and social well-being of every dog in its care.
What sets GoDog apart is its comprehensive approach. While many pet care concepts focus on a single service, GoDog combines daycare, boarding, training, and bathing under one roof, creating multiple revenue streams and a more stable, lucrative cash flow. The brand's trademark sayings capture its philosophy: redefining the standard in pet care, where playtime is all the time, and cleanliness is dogliness.
Today, GoDog continues to redefine what premium pet hospitality looks like, giving franchise owners the opportunity to build a legacy business in one of the fastest-growing segments of the pet care industry.

Why choose GoDog
GoDog stands apart from single-focus pet care concepts by offering comprehensive services across daycare, boarding, training, and bathing, all on a single campus. This multi-service model creates multiple revenue streams that produce stable, predictable cash flow with attractive margins and efficient payback periods.
The pet care industry is on a rapid growth trajectory, with services spending projected to increase 134% by 2030. Beyond growth, the industry has demonstrated remarkable resilience during economic downturns, making it one of the most recession-resistant segments available to franchise owners today.
Owners also benefit from world-class franchise support from an experienced team that guides you through every phase of the business journey. And because the model is built for scalability, a GoDog franchise offers genuine legacy potential that can be passed down to family or expanded across multiple locations.
