A DOG business franchise discovery day will be held in Bramhope at the weekend.

The Digs for Dogs event will take place at the Mercure Parkway Hotel from 11am to 4pm on Sunday, January 27.

The franchise network will present two options for start-up businesses, including home boarding and dog walking.

Joanne Wilkinson, whose franchise offers pet services in areas including Ilkley, Menston, Otley and Burley in Wharfdale, said: “Starting my own business with Digs for Dogs has completely transformed my life. Previously, I was working many hours in a stressful accounting role and missing out on valuable family time. Now I spend my time with the dogs, out in the fresh air and getting to know their fantastic owners.

“The support from the head office team has surpassed my expectations and it really feels like we are part of one big family. I’d encourage anyone who fancies a lifestyle change to come along to the discovery day event to learn more – you can even bring your children to meet our mascot Digby the Dog and pick up a free goody bag.”
