However, some business experience can be highly beneficial. 

Doggy Inn also has a selection of products for sale. The dog-friendly products add potential revenue streams. With that said, franchisees may be required to have some sort of retail experience to sell Doggy Inn products.

What Might Make a Doggy Inn Franchise a Good Choice?

As a franchisee, you will have to work in partnership with Doggy Inn and strive towards the protection and betterment of your franchise and the brand as a whole.

You will be expected to build a loyal customer base and advertise and promote the Doggy Inn franchise and the products offered.
