Doo Care
Congratulations! You've overcome the "poop" stigma to take a serious look at a growing business opportunity in the pet franchise industry.
First, we will let you in on a secret - our business is not about dog poop! Yes, we remove what Rover 
leaves behind, but the real keys to our success are:
- Capturing market share in a high-demand sector.
- Providing excellent customer service to build and retain a loyal clientele.
- Managing operational efficiencies to drive profits.
- Enabling a truly green solution to pet waste management.
Will I have to scoop the poop?
We are looking for business owners, not poop scoopers. As a Doo Care franchisee, you will spend your time building the business, not scooping the poop. We are seeking franchise owners who work on their business, not in their business. The majority of dog waste disposal businesses are small scale, independent "poop scoopers", with a modest portfolio of clients. In contrast, Doo Care has built a brand and business methodology that combines the power of marketing with efficient operating procedures to drive sales and control costs. Our objective is to capture market share and provide superior customer experience. Combine this with an aggressive focus on "green solutions", and Doo Care is well positioned as the pre-eminent brand for dog waste management services. You need a business model which is both replicable and scalable, and this is what the Doo Care model offers. We help you with the tools, resources and advice to grow your business beyond one truck. If you succeed in building your pet franchise to two, three or more trucks, you have the opportunity to reach significant economies of scale to drive more money to your bottom line.
A high growth sector
Our society's obsession with pets has created a highly lucrative pet franchise opportunity. Combine this with our dislike of what our furry friends leave behind, and you have a superb business in pet waste disposal. The statistics are staggering. Over the last decade, total U.S. pet industry expenditures have nearly doubled, from $21 billion in 1996 to $38.5 billion in 2006. According to a 2007-2008 study, 63% of American homes have pets, which translates into more than 71 million households! Of these, nearly 45 million households have dogs.
The opportunity goes far beyond residential services. Homeowners' associations, apartment complexes and city parks are among the growing number of organizations that require a professional solution to the problem of dog waste.
Our track record
The Doo Care management team has over 50 years of combined experience as franchise executives and franchise owners in major service franchises, such as Choice Hotels International, Marriott, Comfort Keepers, Precision Tune and AlphaGraphics, among others. We know how to build a leading franchise brand, and we are dedicated to growing a healthy and successful network of franchisees.
You can expect unparalleled support from our headquarters and affiliate operations staff, as well as our vendors and suppliers. As a Doo Care franchise owner, you will have access to a wealth of resources to help your business succeed, including:
- Use of the Doo Care brand and trademarks.
- Professionally designed marketing pieces and selling tools.
- Turnkey advertising and PR campaigns.
- Software and technology tools to improve efficiency.
- A customized web page as part of the Doo Care website.
- Initial and ongoing training on managing the business.
- Purchasing power through our corporate vendor accounts.
- Franchise Operations Manuals and forms to operate the business.

Our Formula for Success
Our five-point formula for success has been proven to work for more than 25 years.
I. Superior Personnel
Through our unique staffing and compensation system, Express Oil Change has been able to hire, train and retain loyal employees who share our mission of service. Customers quickly learn that, at Express Oil Change, services will be performed by friendly, competent technicians they can trust.
II. Expanded Services
Express Oil Change offers a dual business concept with a broader range of high margin services than ordinary fast oil change centers. Our centers are divided into two departments that provide specialized services and create additional profit centers:
The Express Oil Change Department features the 10-minute oil change, 20-minute transmission service, and the installation of wiper blades, light bulbs and fluids.
The Express Service Center features mechanical services such as brake repair, tire rotation and balance, air conditioning service, belt and hose replacement and other minor repairs.
The combination of these two departments provides customers with "one-stop shopping" for preventative and routine automotive maintenance needs.
III. Outstanding Site Selection and Facilities
Express Oil Change & Service Center facilities are larger, brighter and more attractive than those of our competitors. Express Oil Change only builds in “A” location sites which are chosen for their high-traffic, destination-oriented retail developments surrounding densely populated communities.
IV. Quality Products
Only top-of-the-line, nationally recognized products are installed in automobiles at Express Oil Change & Service Centers. We have cultivated relationships with vendors of the finest quality products in the market today.
V. Strength of Support
Our highly experienced Franchise Training and Support Officers combine decades of success in every facet of the business. Express Oil Change & Service Center franchisees also benefit from ExpressTrack, a proprietary management system, which allows owners to easily track key indicators in their business, allowing them real time access to the elements in their operations that really move the needle.
“The Express Oil Change model works…and we work it!”
This model has proven itself and is exemplified by a 99% survival rate of all stores built from the ground up over the last 10 years, a rare accomplishment in the franchise industry.
