DapperTails Franchising

DapperTails is a mobile pet grooming franchise founded by groomer Emily Elias and operations leader Chris Elias, who built their own mobile grooming business before developing the franchise model. Designed for owners who want to enter the industry without grooming experience, the brand offers practical support based on firsthand operating experience.

Franchisees receive help recruiting and training a lead groomer, a protected territory, and a professionally equipped, launch-ready grooming van. The business model serves pet owners through convenient mobile grooming, with repeat appointments typically occurring every four to eight weeks. DapperTails also provides its custom DapperTailsHQ platform, booking and customer-management tools, connected communications, local marketing resources, and a branded location webpage. An optional, U.S.-based Client Care Center can assist with calls, bookings, texts, and follow-up.

Ongoing founder and operator support helps owners manage daily operations and plan for growth. The company reports an estimated initial investment of $103,500 to $242,000 and provides financial performance information in Item 19 of its Franchise Disclosure Document.
