Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dogtopia growing or shrinking?
Dogtopia's SBA loan count grew +60% year-over-year, suggesting rising financed expansion. This reflects SBA-backed financing activity, not necessarily total unit count -- see the methodology page for what this does and doesn't measure.
How much does it cost to open a Dogtopia franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $887K (401% above the typical Home & Repair Services brand's $177K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Dogtopia?
2 of 101 SBA loans to Dogtopia franchisees (2.0%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 2.9% across all Home & Repair Services brands.
