How it works
From first enquiry to first walk
Becoming a We Love Pets franchisee is a series of simple, no-pressure steps. You'll have plenty of time to ask questions, meet the people behind the business and be sure it's right for you before you commit to anything.
Your journey, step by step
There's no pressure at any stage. You can take as long as you need, and you're free to stop at any point if it doesn't feel right.
Step 1
Get the Info Pack
Read the full picture in your own time: the model, the investment, funding, support and real franchisee stories.
Step 2
Book an informal chat
A relaxed call by phone or video about your plans, your area and any questions you have. No sales pitch.
Step 3
Talk to franchisees
We'll introduce you to existing franchisees so you can ask them anything about what it's really like.
Step 4
Meet our leadership team
Meet the people behind We Love Pets, including founders Jo and Ryan White, and see how the business works up close.
Step 5
Choose your territory and arrange funding
Agree your exclusive territory and sort your funding, including our pre-approved Start Up Loan route.
Step 6
Sign your agreement
Once you're sure, sign your franchise agreement and secure your territory.
Step 7
Train
Business and animal care training, the We Love Pets Certification™, pet first aid, and free, unlimited online courses with Animal Ed.
Step 8
Launch your business
Your launch campaign goes live, your Google Business Profile is set up, and regular support calls begin through your first year.
You won't be doing it alone
Supported at every step
“From helping me secure my business loan, to my training at Fritton Lake, and those first nerve-wracking days waiting for the phone to ring, I never felt like I was doing it alone.”

Yes. We'll introduce you to existing franchisees so you can ask them anything about their experience.
Not at all. We'll talk through funding with you, including our pre-approved Start Up Loan route, and help you work out a realistic budget. See Start Up Loans for more.
Many people do. Some go full-time from day one, while others build their business gradually alongside existing work or family commitments.
