Dog boarding and daycare is an important thing to many people. Right now, people are cutting back on the money they spend on their pets, but by the time you graduate from your program, perhaps the ecconomy will have picked up, a bit. You need to:Look up all information on the subject.Look up how much money people spend and have spent on their pets and trends in this.Research different facilities similar to what you are thinking of, and find out what makes certain ones successful.Look at each one and see what they offer.What makes each one unique, or better?What different services does each one offer?What are their contracts like?What legal things do you need to consider?How many people would you need to hire and how much pay would this represent?Costs for:Building rentalSuppliesKennelsInsurance costsOtherIf you go around to different facilities, you will find out a lot. Just say you are looking into doing this when you graduate and ask for hints or tips. Since you are not doing this, right away, they may be willing to talk to you. Additionally, if you go to a city that is not right where you would want to do this, they might be willing to talk to you. You could also try working in one of these type of places to see just what goes on, how the clients act, and what they expect. In doing this, you may find out if it is truly for you, or not. (People can be very picky with their pets - just ask any groomer).There are also dog training facilities that are becoming more popular and people always need training for their puppies and dogs.
Yes.I also love business.But you have to look at your pros and cons:-Is there a lot of competitors out there? (yes)---- This meaning that it is hard to start a business when you have so many other people trying to run the same thing.-Are there people willing to give their animal to a new business? (maybe)It does look like you want to deal with dogs, so maybe look and brainstorm for different ideas that you could do with the animals.Something that is unique and that will catch people s attention when looking for their animal s daycare.Hopefully that made sense.
