Susan LaDue “I'd always loved dogs and I wanted to start
my own business. After months of networking with dog breeders, veterinarians,
dog walkers, kennel owners, and dog groomers, I knew I had found the right
general category; but I also knew I didn't want to follow in the footsteps of
anyone I'd talked with. In every instance, their businesses involved
experiences during which dogs are generally unhappy. "No, no," I kept
thinking. "I want the dogs to have fun with me."
Adam
Dunn “But take into account the cost of the space, the insurance costs, and the
costs of running a business and the numbers don’t add up as quickly as you’d
expect. But it is a business where you can make plenty of money.”
Justin Black “But they also have lives away from their beloved pets. And if you can help these pet owners go about their everyday lives without the stress and worry of taking the dog out or feeling guilty because he’s at home, sad and lonely, you’ll be able to capitalize on a growing trend of Doggie Daycare Centers.”
Daniel Holzer “To
operate a harmonious dog daycare with as little disruption and illness as
possible, it is important to screen and carefully select clients--humans and
dogs. Knowing that your clients will pay on time and be punctual in dropping
off and picking up their dogs will make your life much easier. Selecting dogs
that are well-behaved, in good health and that get along with other dogs at the
center will make your days pass much easier as well. However, this selectivity
can be very difficult for caregiver types and people who have problems with
boundaries or saying "no."
