Dog daycare provider Dogtopia has been ranked No. 51, followed by pet shop chain Petland (146).
“Our consistent ranking in the Franchise 500 is a huge testament to the value and relevance of our business model, our hardworking and conscientious franchisees, and the success of our company store division and operating systems,” said Petland VP Steve Huggins.
Bird food supplier Wild Birds Unlimited (188) and pet care company Camp Bow Wow (271) have also been included in the ranking.
