Score breakdown · what drove the 40 / 100 verdict
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates potential financial distress or operational instability at franchisor level
- 02MINORZero existing units with unknown growth trajectory — no proven business model or franchisee success track record to validate
- 03MINORNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure — cannot verify average revenue or net income claims, making ROI impossible to assess
- 04MINORHigh franchise fee ($47,500) relative to total investment ($58,180–$75,750) — 64–82% of capital goes to franchisor before operations begin
- 05MINOR6% royalty on gross revenue (not net) — franchisees pay royalties on sales regardless of profitability, creating cash flow risk

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care franchise?
The total investment to open a Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care franchise ranges from $58K – $76K, with an initial franchise fee of $48K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care franchise owners earn?
Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Item 19 in the Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
Is Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Angel’s Five-Star Pet Care as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 40 out of 100 (higher is better), based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
