S6 Ep6: Helping People, Helping Pets— Scenthound’s Membership-Based Grooming Empire

Tim Vogel’s fascination with dogs began at a young age. Perplexed and compelled by his four-legged friend's behavior, Tim knew that the pet industry was the place where he could create a business that left the world a better place than how he found it.   Enter Scenthound, the world’s first membership-based grooming business. On a mission to help people connect with their pets by removing barriers to clean, healthy dogs, Scenthound provides an easy, affordable way for pet owners to maintain their pet's well-being,  Tune in to find out Tim’s incredible advice to others embarking on their own franchise journey, why he and Wolf both feel like entrepreneurship can be an especially lonely process, and why Tim believes franchising feels like starting a new business because it is starting a new business.    Are you a future franchise entrepreneur?
