How Do You Start A Pet Kennel Business?
Starting a kennel business is a lot like starting any other business, except this is a true labor of love. Many businesses may have a bottom line at the heart of its inception, but a kennel requires a love of animals and a commitment to caring of the animals around the clock everyday. Kennel owners not only are in the business just because they love animals, most find it to be a rewarding business where they are their own boss. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) suggests you might also think about opening your own shelter. Look at other kennel, doggy day-care and shelters in the area. Talk to the owners to see what their experiences, good or bad, have been. It takes a fair amount of money to start a kennel; you will need capital. Decide if there’s enough business in the town or city where you plan to start your business. Obtain a license for operating a shelter from your city hall. Assemble a good crew that has the passion and care you have for dogs t
