Become a Franchisee

If you like the sound of providing our home-from-home pet care service as a Barking Mad Franchisee in your area, the first step is to come and talk to us.

Meet the team

At this confidential meeting, you’ll get to see our operation at first hand, ask all the questions you want to ask and answer some of ours. During your own decision-making process, you’ll also be able to talk to our current franchisees.

You’ll learn about the business advantages. Like the fact that the operation is ‘cash flow positive’ with customers paying in advance - so no problems with debtors. And of course, working from home, your overheads are kept to a minimum.

You’ll also discover, as we have, that business isn’t seasonal. With their holidays, business trips and other enforced absences, customers will need you to provide our professionally recognised, fully insured dog holidays all year round.

Join the team

So what makes an ideal franchisee? An animal lover, of course. But we also look for good communicators with the ambition to grow a successful business.

Having signed our Franchise Agreement you’ll visit our Lancashire head offices for a four-day training programme, covering all aspects of the business from pet handling to accounting.
