Book Description
Whether they are coping with finicky pets or ordering supplies needed for
day-to-day operation, boarding kennel proprietors face many challenges.
Here is a detailed description of the boarding kennel business, the
problems kennel managers encounter, and ways to solve these problems. The
fundamentals of good physical facilities and equipment are examined: types
of pet enclosures, materials and construction, fencing, plumbing and waste
disposal. In addition the book realistically discusses the advantages and
drawbacks of buying an existing kennel compared with building a new
facility, and tells you what you should consider if you are planning to
expand or enlarge your kennel. Providing top-quality care for the animals
is emphasized in chapters on prevention and treatment of common pet
diseases and preparation of nutritious food. You'll find many practical
suggestions for performing routine activities, establishing good customer
relations and increasing kennel profits by offering additional pet
services. Boarding Kennel Management gives you useful information about
how to run your kennel effectively and build up a satisfied clientele.
