The franchise I have chosen is called G'day! Pet Care.  It is a pet care business.  I chose this franchise because I absolutely love animals. :)

My favorite animal. :) The white Siberian tiger.

When you're going on vacation or away for business or anything and you have pets, you're going to have to find someone to look after them.  One reason why you should choose to have G'day! Pet Care take care of your pets is that they have much experience.  Their founders founded the dog training company in Australia named Bark Busters in 1989.  They have several locations around the globe and are very successful. Bark Busters is the world's largest and most trusted dog training company.

"This feels so good!! It's really something to woof about!!"

G'day! Pet Care has recently been in the news.  On March 22, 2011, G'day! Pet Care and Bark Busters partnered with Petsitting.com.  "'This is a great opportunity for all three companies, as Bark Busters and G'day! Pet Care have an outstanding reputation for providing some of the best dog training and pet care services in the world,' said Jared Katz, Vice President of Business Development for Petsitting.com. 'We are proud to be able to refer out users to these two very respected companies.'"
To start up a G'day! Pet Care branch of the franchise, the initial franchise fee is $12,500, but the total investment into the franchise is anywhere from $23,850 - $72,100.  There are no royalty or advertising fees and if you are a veteran or a spouse of a veteran, you'd receive a "16% discount on the initial franchise purchase through a $2,000 discount off the $12,500 franchise fee and a free start-up and promotions package valued at $500."  

G'day! Pet Care provides a week-long training session at their Denver area headquarters and follow-up support to teach all the skills necessary to provide good service and ensure the pet's safety.  Every employee that works for G'day! Pet Care must be Red Cross Pet First Aid certified.  
G'day! employees are encouraged to volunteer their time and expertise with local pet-related organizations.  They serve the community as best they can, whenever they can.
