"Snaggle Foot" was the nickname given to the company founder's childhood Beagle, Dixie. One summer day the mischievous canine snuck into the family vegetable garden--a place she was forbidden to enter--and on her way out, caught her paw on the fence. She was only limping for a few days afterwards, but her nickname stuck with her! And namesake Dixie would be proud...Our unique moniker has been recognized for its marketing appeal and creativity by several top business review organizations. >>Watch the cartoon

BULLET POINTS
Our training course combines both online and in-person training at our headquarters in Breckenridge, CO. Alternatively, we can fly out to your home town to conduct training there at no extra cost. Prior to meeting in person, we will arrange a time to do an online introduction to SnaggleFoot.net. The online training is designed to introduce you to the program. You will receive access to our training account so you can practice and familiarize yourself with the program before attending our in-person training. By the way, most people are able to grasp full functionality of the program in under an hour.

We believe in building strong relationships with our franchisees, which is why we insist on in-person training.   The training course is taught directly by the company's founder and CEO and utilizes videos, classroom instruction, and hands-on learning.  Included with the training course is a certification in Pet CPR & First Aid and an Accounting/Bookkeeping 101 course.   The training program, along with the manuals and instruction guides,  are designed to teach you everything you need to know to run your new Snaggle Foot pet care franchise.  If after the course you still need help or have questions, then we're at your service and will do everything we can to get you the help you need.

CHART, BRAG ROYALTY RATE
The cost of our franchise is dependent upon the size territory you choose, and can range from between $12,210 and $21,750.  This includes everything: the franchise fee, training travel costs, the three day training program, supplies, business cards and brochures, insurance coverage, your website, email account, SnaggleFoot.net account, mobile app, and everything else needed to open your business.

We have a royalty rate of 4%  and an advertising obligation of 1.5% of your monthly net sales, with no minimum quotas or royalty requirements.  This means that if you choose to do the business part-time, then you won't have to worry about paying us any quota requirements or minimum royalty requirement.   We use the 1.5% advertising obligation to re-invest into the growth of our franchises and target advertising efforts on their behalf.

Do you offer discounts or payment plans? SIMPLIFY
We are proud to have been recognized as a Military-Friendly Franchise for the past four years. Military veterans are eligible for up to 40% off the initial franchise fee. Other groups, such as veterinary professionals and law enforcement may also be eligible for a franchise fee credit.

We do offer in-house financing for the initial start-up costs. The terms of financing vary depending on credit and financial history, but usually involve a grace period in which no payments are due, giving you time to get your business up and running before beginning your payment schedule.

What is your franchisee approval process?
The most important thing we can do to help build our brand with successful franchise owners is to carefully screen each applicant. We want to make sure that both our candidates and their communities are a good fit for our business model. Our approval process involves a series of interviews, reference checks, and a thorough demographic study of the area. TIMEFRAME LINK

What about my territory? How is that decided?
So long as you live in an approved area, we let you decide the boundaries of your protected territory. You can choose the size, from 60,000 to 120,000 households and up, depending on the area.

May I contact your current franchise owners?
We feel it is important for you to talk directly with our franchisees as part of your decision-making process. However, we would like to ask that you wait until after we determine your qualification. This way our franchisees know that both you and your territory have been approved and their time being is well spent.

Can I do this with my spouse/best friend/business partner? PUT WITH TRAINING STUFF
Yes!  We provide training for up to two franchisees at no additional cost.
