Dog Health Questions: I want to start my own pet buisness. What should I do to start?

It's going to be a buisness of dog-training, dog & cat grooming, pet boarding, animal rescuing, and fish, birds & reptile sales. I'm planning on getting a professional dog-training cerficate within a year. What else should I do? Where do I start? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Dog Treats for Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
After getting your certificate, use it to earn as much money as possible doing your own private thing. After saving up a lot of money, lease out a decent-sized building and turn that into a buisness! Ask for help and support from trusted friends and family if you really need it. Also, lots of experience is best!

• That sounds pretty hard but if you aren't going to do it where ever you live and you don't have somewhere to do it I would suggest trying to get a place to buy for it but you will have to save up it is pretty pricey. Just save up for ALOT of supplies and everything. Make a website when you have almost everything done. You need employees unless your just going to do it yourself. Start small and build up. Try to look up some dog styles for grooming buy some books maybe or look on the internet or just go to other groomer places and ask for some tips. You will need everything you got to do this it is a pretty big thing ya know. I hope I helped and I wish you luck! Maybe I will actually visit your place if you get it doing because my dog Harley is filthy and he needs a good groomer. Good Luck!!! ^_^


• start out small i personally believe your trying to start out way to big, do you have certifications in grooming? how many years of experience, how would you deal with a lice out break brought into your shop if you plan on grooming? getting an IPG cert would be a start for the grooming, and keep in mind, if your grooming and its only you, you have to be able to do them fast enough to make pay for your supplies and your time if you plan on making money from it. if you had outside groomers, what would your requirements be? how are you figuring their wages? half of what ever the shop charges is average "wages"


• just what ever u do don't gety your birds and repitles from mills such as rainbow exoitic pet
