we know millennial pet parents  

We understand that millennial pet owners are an unprecedented group, accustomed to spending ample time with their dogs and even taking them along on errands. In fact, the number of households with pets experienced a significant surge in 2020, driven by the desire for companionship during uncertain times. With millennials and Gen Z delaying parenthood, pets have taken on even more importance.

Plus, the pet services sector is experiencing remarkable growth, surpassing other segments in the pet industry. Pet parents are expected to spend more than $143B on their pets in 2023†, and pet services are the fastest growing segment. The pet industry is projected to achieve a 5.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2025.‡

GoDog:SOCIAL
the power of connection

Owning a GoDog campus is also about being a hub for your local pet parent community. It also has a positive impact on our communities by strengthening the bond between humans and animals. In addition to our boarding and daycare services, we offer a unique concept called GoDog:SOCIAL, a membership-based dog park and bar. It's a dedicated space where pet parents can connect with each other and spend quality time with their pets in a fun and safe environment.

GoDog:SOCIAL features various amenities, including canine grass, doggy play structures, water features, and plenty of seating and shade for pet parents. We also organize curated events to enhance the experience. We believe that friends make everything better, and that's why we've created this truly one-of-a-kind community-driven social hub specifically designed for dog lovers, especially millennial pet parents.

The franchise information on this website does not constitute an offer to sell a franchise. The offer of a franchise can only be made through the delivery of a Franchise Disclosure Document. Certain states require that a franchisor register their Franchise Disclosure Document with that state prior to the offer or sale of a franchise. We will not offer or sell franchises in those states until we have registered our Franchise Disclosure Document (or obtained an applicable exemption from registration) and delivered the Franchise Disclosure Document to the prospective franchisee in compliance with applicable law.
