Barking Mad Dog Care has been ranked as the top pet sector franchise in Elite Franchise’s top 100 league table – and number 34 overall in the UK.

The Elite Franchise Top 100 ‘celebrates superlative businesses that are deserving of recognition’, with an expert judging panel ranking franchisors on everything from growth to the support they offer their franchisees. Criteria range from financial performance and heritage in the industry to contribution to the community and the way innovation is embraced.

The EF100 guide defines the best opportunities in the UK by ranking applicants from 100 to 1. The list features a diverse mix of franchises, emphasising that the brands that make it into the top 100 are ‘simply the best’, whether they’re a flourishing franchise at the top of their game or a budding business making its first inroads into the industry.

STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

Barking Mad’s managing director, Rachel Stewart, said: “We are delighted to be recognised in the ‘Top 100’ and truly honoured to feature in this celebration of ‘the best and brightest franchises that Britain has to offer’. We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved and congratulate all those who feature, as we see the British franchise industry go from strength to strength.

“As part of our ambitious expansion programme, we are looking to work with more dog-loving entrepreneurs to bring our service to new areas. Barking Mad franchise owners benefit from a lifestyle with flexibility, a growing full-time income and the rewards of making a really positive difference to the lives of dog lovers and their four-legged best friends.”
