## Story

In a recent interview with FranchiseWire, Eric Steinke, Hounds Town USA franchise owner, discussed his transition from physical therapy to pet care.

“I have a doctorate in physical therapy,” said Steinke. “I have been practicing physical therapy for ten years. Three years ago, I opened my own private practice in Forney, Texas.”

With a passion for pets and a desire to invest in the booming pet industry, Steinke was excited when he discovered Hounds Town USA.

“I had told my wife years ago that I had an interest in opening something in pet care or daycare. It felt like a God-send that it all aligned with something that we had been interested in for years,” he said.

Steinke was impressed with Hounds Town’s excellent support system and established name. Steinke says Hounds Town USA has a great system to ensure franchisee success. He said the franchise’s small size and big support team was a perfect fit for him. By the time Steinke met the corporate team and attended Discovery Day, he was sold.

Hounds Town USA serves communities around the country with no-frills doggie daycare and grooming services. The company believes that business owners should be accessible by offering a low-cost initial investment and thorough corporate support.
