Wag n’ Wash Franchise vs. Pet Supplies Plus Franchise
When it comes to finding the perfect pet, most people would agree that bigger isn’t always better. In fact, bigger pets are usually more trouble than the smaller ones are. Similarly, when it comes to franchising, experienced entrepreneurs know that the bigger franchises aren’t always the better choice. Being on the smaller end can actually have some unique advantages! Let’s take a closer look at two pet franchises by way of example: Pet Supplies Plus and Wag n’ Wash.

Smaller Can Be Better
Being part of a smaller pet supplies franchise means being more of a contributor when it comes to growing the company brand. When your voice is one of a few rather than one of many, you wield greater influence as a leader and can mentor those who join the franchise later on. You’ll benefit greatly from Wag n’ Wash’s excellent marketing strategies and operational assistance. More territories also tend to be available with smaller franchises.
The Wag n’ Wash Brand is a Cut Above
Take a look at the two websites and ask yourself what impression each of them has on you. The Pet Supplies Plus Franchise website is corporate feeling and ordinary, while the Wag n’ Wash brand feels bright, lively, modern, attractive, inviting and playful.
Higher-end Products
The global organic and natural pet food market grew 12% in its CAGR between 2014-2019. The rising demand for quality pet food coincides with the rise in pet ownership as well as increasing concern about the fillers used in lower-end products. Wag n’ Wash is here to answer the consumer’s demand for only the finest options when it comes to their beloved pets. As an all-in-one curated boutique, pet owners love using the convenient pet washing station and receiving exceptional customer support from onsite experts.
Lower Investment Range
To start up your own Wag n’ Wash store will take between $425,050-$789,350 while starting a Pet Supplies Plus Franchise ranges from $440,600-$1,315,200. The franchise fee for a single Wag n’ Wash unit is also less than the Pet Supplies Plus franchise fee.
