Snaggle Foot Franchise Is A Dream Opportunity For Pet Lovers

BRECKENRIDGE, CO, August 19, 2010

Snaggle Foot Dog Walks & Pet Care is making a difference in people's lives, one pet at a time. With services from dog walking to pet sitting, and convenient features such as online account management, Snaggle Foot is taking pet-care out of the kennels and into the modern age. The in-home pet-care company gives pet owners the peace of mind knowing their pets are cared for by the most qualified people: fellow pet-lovers. These entrepreneurial cat and dog enthusiasts undergo background checks and drug screens, and are fully insured, bonded and certified in Pet CPR and First Aid.

"We have nothing against kennels or boarding facilities, but our clients prefer to have their pets stay home," said Karen Cockrill, founder of Snaggle Foot. "It's important that pets are cared for in a familiar environment, especially older pets or ones with anxiety issues. Clients love that we not only care for their pets, but also take care of their home by bringing in the mail, watering plants and giving it a 'lived- in' look while they're traveling."

Pet-lovers with a penchant for business find Snaggle Foot's "business-in-a-box" franchise model ideal for merging their fondness of pets and the desire to be their own boss. Snaggle Foot boasts low start-up costs and generous franchise fee discounts for veterans and other qualified franchisees. Plus, franchisees receive tremendous personal satisfaction and professional rewards not found in most businesses.

"Our franchisees spend their days caring for pets, which is a dream come true for anyone who appreciates dogs, cats and other pets. We know that in order for our franchisees to be successful they must have the freedom to work in a way that suits their lifestyle, goals and personality. With the level of support they receive -- whether technical or advice on dealing with employees -- they know we're here seven-days-a-week to help guide them to success," said Cockrill.

"You get absolutely everything you need to start and run your business in your community, hassle-free. Our process is so straight-forward and streamlined that you can read this today, and have your business up-and-running in about six weeks."

New franchisees receive three days of hands-on training at company headquarters in Breckenridge, CO. Training covers every aspect of running the business -- from getting new clients to managing employees to accounting. Also included is a certification course in Pet CPR and First Aid and a field training session to learn techniques on handling all types of dogs.

In addition to marketing materials and supplies, franchisees get their own customized website, which is updated and hosted for them, a laptop computer pre-installed with the necessary programs and software, and access to a specially-designed online scheduling and billing system.

But Cockrill cautions that it takes more than just a love for animals to qualify for a franchise. Franchisees must understand that they're running a business -- not just playing with pets all day.

Snaggle Foot's unique approach and name in pet-care has made entrepreneurs out of pet-lovers and generated hundred of wagging tails from Oregon to New Hampshire.

"It just doesn't get any better than making a living with animals," Cockrill said. "We're living proof that you can make a career out of a passion. Owning a business that's dear to your heart is a fantastic way to spend your days."
