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 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.

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.

Pet Evolution® lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Pet Evolution®'s most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.

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 0%, against a pet services median of 1.6% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +6 to 8 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Pet Evolution®?

Pet Evolution®'s franchise is offered by Pet Evolution Franchising LLC (Unit Franchise Offering) — 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.
