On August 1, 2014, we entered into an agreement to acquire the franchise business of D.O.G. Development, LLC, which franchises the right to operate dog boarding and day care services, in addition to other ancillary services, principally under the trademark Camp Bow Wow®.  As of June 30, 2014, there were over 125 Camp Bow Wow® franchise locations operating in 37 states and one Canadian province.  The acquisition, which is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2014, will expand our participation in the dog boarding and day care service segment of the pet health industry and will allow us to, directly and indirectly, serve more pet owners on a more frequent basis.
