Dog grooming franchise opportunities split into three formats: a mobile van, a storefront salon, or a daycare that also grooms. Six 2026 disclosure documents put the opening budget at $78,300 to $1,394,250, and the format decides most of it.
Key takeaways
- Groombar’s mobile-only franchise lists $78,300 to $245,450 in Item 7, with a van line of $15,000 to $160,000: the low end is a lease, the high end a new van at about $125,000 to $150,000 (Groombar FDD, August 6, 2026, Item 7 notes).
- Aussie Pet Mobile sells new owners at least three territories for $100,000 and requires a new van per territory priced at $132,000 to $150,000, yet its Item 7 counts only the first van’s down payment and three monthly payments (Aussie Pet Mobile FDD, April 1, 2026, Items 5 and 7).
- Storefront salons plan on 900 to 1,800 square feet; Scenthound budgets $140,500 to $266,000 of leasehold improvements for about 1,100 to 1,300 square feet (Scenthound FDD, Item 7, note 2).
- Grooming inside a daycare means 4,000 to 8,000 square feet and leasehold improvements of $362,000 to $850,000 at All Dogs Unleashed and Central Bark (Central Bark FDD, June 3, 2026, Item 7).
- Connecticut licenses grooming facilities, vans and trailers included, for $200 under Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 22-344(c); Colorado charges $400 for a mobile or fixed grooming facility under PACFA; New York has no state license yet.
- Groombar charges a 7% royalty on van sales but 5% on salon sales and 4% on Pet Nutrition Center retail, so the same brand prices formats differently (Groombar FDD, Item 6).
Van, salon or daycare: what does each grooming format cost to open?
A mobile-only grooming franchise opens for $78,300 to $245,450 at Groombar, a storefront salon for $191,350 to $754,250 across Woof Gang Bakery, Scenthound and Groombar’s salon model, and a daycare that grooms for $620,100 to $1,394,250 across Central Bark and All Dogs Unleashed. The table puts the three lines that separate the formats side by side: vehicle, build-out and equipment, each as printed in Item 7.
| Concept and format | FDD issued | Item 7 total | Vehicle line | Build-out line | Equipment line | Space | Source |

| Groombar, mobile plus grooming salon | Aug 6, 2026 | $299,000 to $754,250 | $15,000 to $160,000 | $100,000 to $300,000 | Furnishings, fixtures and equipment $45,000 to $75,000 | 900 to 1,500 sq ft | Item 7 |
| Scenthound, salon | Apr 18, 2026, amended Jul 31, 2026 | $322,999 to $553,269 | None listed | $140,500 to $266,000 | Fixtures, equipment, furniture $33,000 to $45,800 | 1,100 to 1,300 sq ft | Item 7 |
| Groombar, mobile plus salon in a Pet Nutrition Center | Aug 6, 2026 | $512,000 to $1,036,250 | $15,000 to $160,000 | $150,000 to $400,000 | $85,000 to $115,000 | 1,800 to 2,200 sq ft | Item 7 |

| All Dogs Unleashed, training, daycare, boarding, grooming | Apr 7, 2026 | $691,950 to $1,099,450 | None listed | $362,000 to $560,000 | $80,000 to $200,000 | 4,000 sq ft minimum | Item 7 |
Item 7 ranges run from $78,300 (Groombar mobile only) to $1,394,250 (Central Bark). Source: six FDDs issued April to August 2026, Minnesota CARDS, accessed October 27, 2026.
The spread inside one format is often wider than the gap between formats. Woof Gang Bakery’s build-out line runs from $28,000 to $293,700 because, per its Item 7 note 4, part of the leasehold work may be negotiated into rent; Scenthound’s $140,500 low already assumes a tenant improvement allowance on a plain vanilla shell. For the wider pet sector, including SBA lending by concept type, see our pet franchise statistics report.
Why does a mobile grooming Item 7 understate the van?
The FTC Franchise Rule lets a franchisor count equipment “whether purchased or leased” in Item 7 (16 CFR 436.5(g)(1)(i)(D)), so a mobile total can show a lease deposit and three payments instead of a $125,000 to $150,000 van. Aussie Pet Mobile’s Item 7 lists $31,300 to $37,800 for the first financed van, while note 3 prices each new upfitted van at $132,000 to $150,000.
The financing assumptions sit in the same note: about 8% APR, an A+ credit rating and a 60-month term, with a $25,000 to $30,000 down payment. Aussie Pet Mobile also requires at least one new white van for each territory, and new owners buy a minimum of three territories (Item 5). Additional vans follow on the schedule in the franchise agreement, currently six-month increments after the first delivery. The arithmetic below uses only those printed figures.
| Aussie Pet Mobile van cost line | Arithmetic | Low | High | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First van, as counted in Item 7 (financed) | $25,000 to $30,000 down + 3 payments of $2,100 to $2,600 | $31,300 | $37,800 | Item 7 |
| All 60 monthly payments, one van | 60 x $2,100; 60 x $2,600 | $126,000 | $156,000 | Item 7, note 3 |
| Down payment plus 60 payments, one van | $25,000 + $126,000; $30,000 + $156,000 | $151,000 | $186,000 | Item 7, note 3 |
| Van Support Subscription Fee, one van | $225 a month x 72 months | $16,200 | $16,200 | Item 6 |
| Three vans, one per territory, financed | 3 x $151,000; 3 x $186,000 | $453,000 | $558,000 | Items 5 and 7 |
| Van Support fees on three vans | 3 x $16,200 | $48,600 | $48,600 | Item 6 |
Item 7 counts $31,300 to $37,800 for the first van; the down payment plus 60 payments total $151,000 to $186,000 per van. Source: Aussie Pet Mobile FDD, April 1, 2026, Item 7 note 3.
Groombar handles the same question differently. Its van line of $15,000 to $160,000 spans both methods: the low end is a lease from its preferred vendor and the high end assumes buying a new van at about $125,000 to $150,000, and only one van is required (Groombar FDD, Item 7 notes, page 17). The note’s own lease example, a $12,500 down payment plus three payments of $1,666.66, adds to about $17,500 rather than the $15,000 printed in the table, a gap worth asking the franchisor to reconcile.
How much space and build-out does a grooming salon need?
The three salon-style FDDs plan on 900 to 1,800 square feet. Groombar puts typical build-out at $100 to $180 per square foot and assumes a landlord allowance of about $20 to $30 per square foot (Item 7, notes 4 and 5). Scenthound’s $140,500 to $266,000 range comes from its 2024 openings, which averaged 1,273 square feet (Item 7, note 2).
| Salon build-out check | Arithmetic | Result | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groombar salon, smallest space at lowest rate | 900 sq ft x $100 | $90,000 | Item 7, note 5 |
| Groombar salon, largest space at highest rate | 1,500 sq ft x $180 | $270,000 | Item 7, note 5 |
| Landlord allowance Groombar assumes, low | 900 sq ft x $20 | $18,000 | Item 7, note 4 |
| Landlord allowance Groombar assumes, high | 1,500 sq ft x $30 | $45,000 | Item 7, note 4 |
| Scenthound leasehold, per average-size Scenter | $140,500 to $266,000 / 1,273 sq ft | about $110 to $209 per sq ft | Item 7, note 2 |
| Woof Gang Bakery rent assumption | $30 to $70 per sq ft including CAM and taxes | 1,000 to 1,800 sq ft store | Item 7, notes 4 and 6 |
Salon formats also carry opening-marketing lines that a van does not. Scenthound requires $20,000 to $35,000 of Grand Opening Marketing in the 10 weeks before and four weeks after opening (Item 7, note 12); Woof Gang Bakery collects a $15,000 start-up media fee (Item 5); Groombar’s note 8 requires at least $15,000 for a salon grand opening, although its salon table budgets $5,000 to $10,000. Groombar’s salon models also include the same $15,000 to $160,000 van line, so a salon there is a van plus a storefront, not a substitute for one.
What changes when grooming sits inside a daycare and boarding facility?
Grooming becomes one department of a building that must hold dogs all day. Central Bark’s typical facility is 5,000 to 8,000 square feet plus adjoining outside space (Item 7, note 13), and All Dogs Unleashed requires at least 4,000 square feet in a light industrial or commercial zone (Item 7, note 3). Build-out alone runs $362,000 to $850,000.
| Line | Central Bark | All Dogs Unleashed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | $441,000 to $850,000 | $362,000 to $560,000 (high end adds fence, turf, HVAC, restrooms) | Central Bark Item 7; All Dogs Unleashed Item 7 |
| Equipment and fixtures | $27,600 to $135,000 | $80,000 to $200,000 (kennels, security, phones) | Item 7 |
| Design or project management | Architectural fee $20,000 to $35,000 | Real estate and construction management fee $21,450 | Item 7 |
| Permits and licensing | Misc. legal and permits $2,500 to $8,000 | $3,000 to $6,000 | Item 7 |
| Additional funds, 3 months | $40,000 to $150,000 | $120,000 to $150,000 | Item 7 |
| Total | $620,100 to $1,394,250 | $691,950 to $1,099,450 | Item 7 |
One filing detail: the All Dogs Unleashed cover page prints a low total of $688,950, while its Item 7 table adds to $691,950, a $3,000 difference in the April 7, 2026 document. Use the line items, and ask which figure the franchisor stands behind. Central Bark’s Item 1 also lists kennel licenses or animal boarding permits with inspections among the rules a facility may face.
Which fixed monthly minimums apply in each format?
Royalties in these six FDDs run from 4% to 7% of sales, but the fixed floors differ more. Aussie Pet Mobile’s minimum royalty reaches $2,100 a month from month 16 for three territories, Scenthound requires at least $25,000 a year of local advertising, and Groombar sets a $100 weekly royalty minimum on van sales starting 120 days after the agreement’s Effective Date.
| Concept | Royalty (Item 6) | Marketing or brand fund | Fixed monthly items | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aussie Pet Mobile | 6.0% up to $83,300 of monthly sales, 5.0% above; minimum $700 (months 4 to 9), $1,400 (10 to 15), $2,100 (16+) | Greater of 2% or $500 per territory per month | Technology $450 first territory, $100 each added; CMS $400; van support $225 per van | Item 6 |
| Groombar | 7% mobile ($100 weekly minimum), 5% salon, 4% retail | 2% (0% on retail) | Scheduling software $140 per van, $205 per store | Item 6 |
| Scenthound | 6%, may rise 1% a year to no more than 9% | Brand fund up to 1.5%; local advertising 5.5%, $25,000 minimum, $35,000 maximum a year | Technology $675 after POS activation | Item 6 |
| Woof Gang Bakery | 7% | National marketing 2% | Technology currently $50 (up to $300) | Item 6 |
| Central Bark | 6% | Greater of 2% or $500 a month | Technology $495 | Item 6 |
| All Dogs Unleashed | 7% | Up to 2% reserved, not collected as of the FDD | None listed in our extract | Item 6 |
Annualizing only the fixed floors, with no sales assumption, shows what each format owes in a slow year:
| Concept | Fixed floors per year | Arithmetic | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aussie Pet Mobile, 3 territories, 3 vans, month 16 onward | $63,900 | $2,100 x 12 + $1,500 x 12 (ad fund) + $650 x 12 (technology) + $400 x 12 (CMS) + $675 x 12 (van support) | Item 6 |
| Scenthound | $33,100 | $25,000 local advertising minimum + $675 x 12 technology | Item 6 |
| Central Bark | $11,940 | $500 x 12 brand fund + $495 x 12 technology | Item 6 |
| Groombar, one van | $6,880 | $100 x 52 royalty minimum + $140 x 12 software | Item 6 |
Veteran pricing also differs: 15% off Aussie Pet Mobile’s fee and territory fees, 10% off Groombar’s $45,000 fee, $5,000 off Scenthound’s $49,900 fee and 10% off Central Bark’s first fee, each per Item 5. Our veteran franchise discount data covers other sectors, and the franchise royalty rate benchmarks show where 4% to 7% sits.
Is there a state license for dog groomers, and does a van need one?
Of the three states we checked, two license grooming directly and count vans as grooming facilities. Connecticut defines a grooming facility as “any place, including any vehicle or trailer” (Sec. 22-327(5)) and charges $200 for a license. Colorado’s PACFA program charges $400 for a primary, mobile or self-wash grooming facility. New York has no state grooming license as of October 2026.
| State | Who needs a license | Fee | Vans covered | Inspection and renewal | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Connecticut | Anyone in “the business of grooming or maintaining a grooming facility”; boarding needs a commercial kennel license | $200 grooming; $400 commercial kennel | Yes, Sec. 22-327(5) | Valid until the second December 31 after issuance; zoning certification on first application; fines up to $500 per animal; up to $200 for operating unlicensed | Conn. Gen. Stat. Secs. 22-327, 22-344 |
| Colorado | Any permanent or mobile groomer facility; independent contractor groomers; boarding of more than three animals | $400 facility; $350 contractor groomer; $500 boarding or training | Yes, mobile groomer category | Qualifying Education of 3 to 4 hours; pre-license inspection; renew January 1 to March 1, 10% late fee | Colorado Dept. of Agriculture, PACFA |
| New York | No state grooming license enacted | None today; bill A1108 proposes $40 a year | Not applicable | A1108 referred to the Assembly Economic Development committee on January 9, 2025 and again on January 7, 2026 | NY Assembly Bill A1108 |
Colorado’s sequence, as the Department of Agriculture lists it:
- Apply in the PACFA Licensing Portal.
- Qualifying Education: 3 to 4 hours, self-paced.
- Pre-license inspection of facility or vehicle by a county-assigned inspector.
- License: $400 grooming, $500 boarding.
- Renew January 1 to March 1; 10% late fee after March 1.
We did not verify the other 47 states or local codes. The FDDs budget for local permits whatever the state: $350 at Aussie Pet Mobile, $500 to $2,000 for a Groombar van, $100 to $1,000 at Woof Gang Bakery, $1,500 to $6,700 at Scenthound and $3,000 to $6,000 at All Dogs Unleashed. Groombar’s Item 7 low end also assumes local law lets you park the van at home, so check the zoning code for commercial vehicles before signing.
What do Item 19 and Item 20 tell you about these grooming systems?
All six FDDs include an Item 19 financial performance representation, and each measures something different, from sales by number of vans to membership counts. We do not reprint those figures; read them in Item 19 of each brand’s current FDD. Item 20 outlet counts are below, and Groombar counts each operating van as an outlet.
| Concept | Outlets at last fiscal year end (Item 20) | What Item 19 reports | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aussie Pet Mobile | 167 franchised, December 31, 2025 (111 a year earlier) | Annual gross sales grouped by owners running 1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 10 and more than 10 vans | Items 19, 20 |
| Groombar | 180 (123 franchised, 57 affiliate-owned), September 30, 2025 | Sales in four categories: mobile, in-store salon, grooming salon, Pet Nutrition Center | Items 19, 20 |
| Scenthound | 154 (148 franchised, 6 company-owned), December 31, 2025 | Gross revenue sources, membership counts and an operating income measure | Items 19, 20 |
| Woof Gang Bakery | 288 franchised, December 31, 2025 | Average yearly gross revenue by store age, plus a 12-month pro forma | Items 19, 20 |
| Central Bark | 44 franchised, December 31, 2025 | Sales and operating profit measures for reporting facilities, including sales mix by service category | Items 19, 20 |
| All Dogs Unleashed | 14 franchised, December 31, 2025 | Results for three named facilities: Dallas, Austin and Shreveport | Items 19, 20 |
Grooming plus daycare is the smaller franchised group here, with 44 and 14 facilities, against 154 to 288 units for the salon and retail concepts. Our Item 19 research explains how to read sales tables without treating them as a forecast, and the franchise disclosure document guide walks through all 23 items.
Where list pages mislead on grooming franchise costs
Brand lists quote one investment range and one unit count per company, which hides format choices inside a single FDD. Below are three claims from pages ranking for this keyword in October 2026, each checked against the filings. In each case the FDD answer sits in Item 7 or Item 20, and the gap changes what a buyer would budget or expect.
| What a ranking page says | What the primary source says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| A 2026 list article gives Groombar one investment range of $288,000 to $595,500 | The August 6, 2026 FDD prints separate tables: $78,300 to $245,450 mobile only, $299,000 to $754,250 with a salon, $512,000 to $1,036,250 with a Pet Nutrition Center | Groombar FDD, cover and Item 7 |
| The same list counts Groombar at 160+ units | Item 20 counts 180 outlets at September 30, 2025, but every operating van is an outlet, so the figure counts vans, not owners | Groombar FDD, Item 20 |
| A franchise directory listing cites 450+ Woof Gang Bakery locations | Item 20 counts 288 franchised stores open at December 31, 2025; ask whether a higher figure includes signed but unopened agreements | Woof Gang Bakery FDD, Item 20 |
Matching a format to your cash, space and time
Three questions sort most buyers: can you lease a 4,000-plus square foot building with outdoor space, can you fund $200,000 or more plus a 900 to 1,800 square foot retail lease, and can you carry three vans over time. The thresholds below come from the Item 5, 6 and 7 figures above.
| If this describes you | Format to study first | Item 7 range to plan for | Check before signing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget under $250,000 and you will run one van | Single-van mobile model | $78,300 to $245,450 (Groombar) | Lease ($15,000 line) or buy (about $125,000 to $150,000); home parking allowed? |
| You want to manage drivers across a metro and can finance three vans | Multi-van territory model | $167,325 to $208,650 at signing (Aussie Pet Mobile) | 60 payments of $2,100 to $2,600 per van; $2,100 monthly minimum royalty from month 16 |
| $200,000 or more and a 900 to 1,800 sq ft retail site | Storefront salon | $191,350 to $754,250 (Woof Gang Bakery, Scenthound, Groombar salon) | Tenant allowance; $15,000 to $35,000 opening marketing |
| $620,000 or more and 4,000 to 8,000 sq ft with outdoor space | Grooming plus daycare | $620,100 to $1,394,250 (Central Bark, All Dogs Unleashed) | Zoning for kennels; 3 months of funds up to $150,000 |
| You operate in Connecticut or Colorado | Any format | Add $200 (CT) or $400 (CO) per facility | Connecticut zoning certification; Colorado pre-license inspection of the van or store |
The flowchart in words:
- Start: what can you fund and lease?
- 1. Can you lease 4,000+ sq ft with outdoor space? Yes: Grooming plus daycare: $620,100 to $1,394,250.
- 2. Can you fund $200,000 or more and lease 900 to 1,800 sq ft of retail space? Yes: Storefront salon: $191,350 to $754,250.
- 3. Can you carry three vans over time? Yes: Multi-van territory model: $167,325 to $208,650 at signing, plus vans 2 and 3.
- No to all three: Single-van mobile model: $78,300 to $245,450.
A budget under $100,000 fits only the low end of Groombar’s mobile table; our list of franchises under $100k covers other categories at that level. A franchise consultant can set grooming concepts beside them, and a franchise attorney can review the van, lease and territory clauses.
Questions to put to a grooming franchisor before you sign
Each of the six questions below points at a specific line in Items 5, 6, 7 or 19, so the franchisor’s answer can be checked against the document rather than taken on trust. Bring the FDD issue date to the call. This article is general information, not legal, financial or investment advice.
- Mobile: what is the full purchase or lease price of the van, and how many vans does the agreement require by month 12 (Aussie Pet Mobile Items 5 and 7)?
- Mobile and salon: do the table lines reconcile with the notes (Groombar’s $15,000 van low against a roughly $17,500 lease example; its $5,000 to $10,000 salon grand opening line against a $15,000 minimum)?
- Salon: what tenant allowance per square foot did recent openings get (Groombar assumes $20 to $30; Scenthound used 2024 openings)?
- Daycare: is the site zoned for kennels or boarding, and what state boarding license applies ($400 in Connecticut, $500 in Colorado)?
- All formats: which fixed minimums start when (Aussie Pet Mobile from month 4; Groombar 120 days after the Effective Date; Scenthound’s $25,000 local advertising)?
- All formats: which Item 19 table covers outlets like the one you would open, and how many outlets did it exclude?
How we compiled this
We read Items 5, 6, 7, 19 and 20 of six Franchise Disclosure Documents filed in Minnesota and issued April to August 2026, checking garbled table rows against the rendered PDF pages. Licensing rules come from Connecticut statutes, the Colorado PACFA page, New York bill A1108 and 16 CFR 436.5, accessed October 2026. We excluded every Item 19 figure and all franchisor marketing claims.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a dog grooming franchise cost?
Across six 2026 FDDs, Item 7 totals run from $78,300 for Groombar’s mobile-only model to $1,394,250 for a Central Bark daycare that grooms. Storefront salons sit between, at $191,350 to $754,250 (Woof Gang Bakery, Scenthound, Groombar salon). Space drives the gap: a van needs no premises, a salon 900 to 1,800 square feet, a daycare 4,000 to 8,000.
Is a mobile dog grooming franchise cheaper than a salon?
At signing, usually yes: Groombar’s mobile-only table is $78,300 to $245,450. Over five years the van can cost more than Item 7 shows. Aussie Pet Mobile prices a new upfitted van at $132,000 to $150,000 and requires one per territory, with three territories minimum, while its Item 7 counts only the first van’s down payment and three payments.
Do you need a license to run a dog grooming business?
It depends on the state and city. Connecticut requires a $200 state grooming license and counts vans and trailers as grooming facilities (Sec. 22-327(5), Sec. 22-344(c)). Colorado’s PACFA program charges $400 for a fixed or mobile grooming facility and inspects before licensing. New York has no state license; bill A1108 is still in committee.
Which grooming franchise formats include daycare?
Central Bark (day care, boarding, grooming, training and retail) and All Dogs Unleashed (training, daycare, boarding and grooming) both groom inside a larger facility. Their 2026 FDDs list Item 7 totals of $620,100 to $1,394,250 and $691,950 to $1,099,450, with build-out lines of $441,000 to $850,000 and $362,000 to $560,000.
How much do dog grooming franchise owners make?
We do not publish earnings figures. Owner income depends on the Item 6 fees (royalties of 4% to 7% in these FDDs, plus fixed monthly minimums), the Item 7 debt you carry, and sales. Each of the six FDDs has an Item 19; read it in the brand’s current FDD and ask which outlets it excludes.
Can I buy an existing dog grooming franchise for sale?
Yes, resales happen. Item 20 Table 2 of each FDD lists transfers by state, and under Aussie Pet Mobile’s FDD, territories bought from an existing franchisee avoid the $100,000 territory fee paid to the franchisor (Item 7, note 2). Woof Gang Bakery charges a $7,500 transfer fee for a controlling interest (Item 6). Ask the franchisor for current resale listings and the outgoing owner’s records.
