How much does a Pet Evolution® franchise make?
Pet Evolution® 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 is $427,490 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every pet services brand that discloses earnings in the Pet services franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Pet Evolution® 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 Pet Evolution®'s 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Pet Evolution® franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Pet Evolution® franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $427,490 of revenue, a 7% royalty alone is about $29,924 a year before any other cost.
Pet Evolution® lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Pet Evolution®'s most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 1 legal proceeding 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 Pet Evolution® 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. 1 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
Pet Evolution® closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Pet Evolution® 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 Pet Evolution®'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. Pet Evolution®'s latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 6.3%, against a pet services median of 1.6% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +4 to 20 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Pet Evolution®?
Pet Evolution®'s franchise is offered by Pet Evolution Franchising LLC (Unit Offering) — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

How much profit does a Pet Evolution® franchise make?
Pet Evolution® discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit.
