Dog home-boarding franchise placing dogs with vetted host families, established in 2000 and part of Franchise Brands plc.
Information
Barking Mad provides dog home boarding as an alternative to kennels, placing dogs with vetted local host families while their owners are away. The business was established in 2000, is based in Kidderminster and is part of Franchise Brands plc. It says it has more than 60 franchise owners in the UK.
Franchisees run the service in their local area, recruiting host families and matching them with dog owners. Territories are based on local authority areas, and franchisees need a suitable car. Support includes initial training, customer management software and a support centre covering marketing, IT, finance and business development.
For details of the franchise package and current territories, see the brand's own franchise page.
