Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Dog Wizard growing or shrinking?
The Dog Wizard's SBA loan count fell 71% year-over-year. A decline in SBA financing doesn't necessarily mean the brand is shrinking -- franchisees may be using other financing, or SBA lending patterns may have shifted broadly.
How much does it cost to open a The Dog Wizard franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $144K (18% below the typical Home & Repair Services brand's $177K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for The Dog Wizard?
The Dog Wizard only has 10 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Home & Repair Services brands overall see a 2.9% charge-off rate across 4,629 loans.
