How much does a Wag N Wash franchise make?

Wag N Wash is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every pet services brand that discloses earnings in the Pet services franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Wag N Wash franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Wag N Wash's 2% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Wag N Wash franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Wag N Wash franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Wag N Wash lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Wag N Wash's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Wag N Wash itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Wag N Wash closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Wag N Wash will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Wag N Wash's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a pet services of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Wag N Wash's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0%, against a pet services median of 1.6% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +4 to 18 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Wag N Wash?

Wag N Wash's franchise is offered by WNW Franchising, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
