Pet Sitting for Philadelphia Pets! 

It will be a a breakthrough in animal care in my country, nothing like a dog hotel or day care here. It will be operating from my house which has plenty yard space. Any Design plans? I need all the help i can get, as a 22 year old aspiring. I want to have supplies available, kennels, i am working already on the finance to get it done. Where can i get the cheapest pet supplies? Or even online advice from concerning my new career opportunity.

Just seen this on the TV the other day. Hotels that are only for pet. Try a Google search for pet hotels.

alot of pets get really stressed when the owners leave the house.They act out by tearing things up and some just whine for a long time but Do you think if you had a pet daycare near you home would you take your pet there so it wouldn’t be lonely while your away?

We have an energetic Brittany Spaniel that goes to our Trainers Daycare about once every other week. We have found that it has been a great time for her to socialize with other dogs, reinforce training techniques and allow her to let off some steam. She absolutely loves her time there!

I am starting a Companion Animal Training Company and in my three year plan hope to have a full running kennel, dog training Arena, etc. At the moment I am only doing in home dog training/fixing companion animal behavioral issues and would like some cool/creative names. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks!

Companion Animal Training Company.

Make sure it is something that will fit nicely as a domain name. Your domain name will be your business name. Use that as your guide. Try out some names as domain names first to see if they are available.

Are there any reliable kennels in Sharjah to board my 2 labradors while i go on a vacation I have read about some very distrubing incidents of dogs being put to sleep or killed as they are considered unclean.. Is it safe to keep my pets at kennels.. If yes, pls name some reputeted, trustworthy kennels in Sharjah

you can try Marks & Spencer in Sharjah.. They sell everything,

Actually, you could write a story about the interesting things that happens while you’re doing this…or you could observe and study the behaviors of the puppy and write a story from the eyes of the puppy (adventures with meeting up with a kitten or squirrel…). You could also use walking a puppy as a way of meeting new people, or having an excuse to sort of observe other people at a dog park or on the street or wherever you are, and write fictional stories about the people you come across…

I think there are many interesting things you could come up with, if you keep your eyes (and your imagination) open.

Do you think that they ALL come from backyard breeders? Or are a few from people whose female, un-spayed dog accidentally bred with another along a walk? Or are some pet shops linked with breeders who actually care about the puppies and hands them to the pet shop to sell?

And why are pet shops allowed to sell puppies anyway? They don’t really get enough attention and socialization and some take ages to be bought and that would mean staying in its kennel for a while on its own if its siblings have been sold already.

99% are from Puppy mills
1% are from backyard breeder/Accidental Litters.

No way to tell the difference unfortuantly

Petshop are linked to Puppy mills-Licenced breeders-that do NOT care. All they care if making money and cutting all costs associated. So these licenced breeder do not vacinated, do not vet check, do not deworm, no socialisation, and even the pup and parents are 1/2 starved to keep cost down. The parents are bred EVERY possible heatcycle.
Petshops will pretty much sell to anyone who comes through the door as long as they have the money. That why so many petshop pup die with Parvo and numerous other diseases.

Good breeder do not sell to petshop because they want to know there pup is going to a good home, and want the potential owners to see the ideal living conditions.

Yes puppy mill do occur in Australia. There was an episode on RSPCA animal rescue last tuesday of a puppy mill in Newcastle NSW. Unfortuantly the RSPCA raided the place and continue to let the miller breed and only remove a few of the dogs. I was quite surprised they actually allowed her to continue to breed and keep most of her dogs and she had over 100. However not all puppy mill in australia fit the cage profile with have what we call open mill, still have 1000 of dogs and still uncared for.

i’m looking for a job with animals and i already work at a dog kennel but i want to work in a store because the kennel job is only seasonal, so what is a pet store that just doesn’t strictly sell supplies but sells pets also.
=]
thanks in advance.

You’ll need to go through your local yellow pages and find a smaller, mom & pop type operation. Often time, the big chains like PetSmart and Petco won’t hire under 18 because of liability issues. Start shopping there frequently and let them get to know you. At the same time, find out as much as you can about them. If they buy the pets that they sell from commercial breeding operations, you really don’t want to work there. Puppy mills = yuck!

Another option that you might consider is an apprenticeship with a groomer or a trainer. You wouldn’t be paid much (or at all) at first, but you would be working with animals, and learning a valuable trade.

the child i watch was sick all week long,and i have a 5 year old son of my own. whats the best product to spray down the toys,tables ect….for germs! i have used…Lysol Disinfectant but it leaves a film like substince on the toys so yea…and i just found out it causes cancer! so can you tell me a safe for children and pet disinfectant spray? it must be safe for all surfaces!
sorry if i misspelled some words…im running on empty right now! its been a long week : / have a great weekend all! if you drink please dont drive! : ]

clorox makes a new anti bacterial spray that you can use on all surfaces and is supposed to be safe for kids and animals. check out the link below

How much would you charge for pet sitting over Thanksgiving for a 1yr old chihuahua?
I’m not a kennel, or a proffesional buisness.

Please put your answer per day.

Thank you=]

I applied for a "doggy daycare" as a care taker. They charged $25 a day but this was a full service facility with vets on call, grooming, alone time with the pet etc. If your just doing this out of your home I would think about $10 to $15 a day provided you can show your potential customer some references and provide a safe loving place for your potential customers pets. Hopefully you can build a client base and with more experience you can raise your rate.

Best of luck

and since I’m home schooled, I am available any day of the week and would work open ’til close. The school program I’m enrolled at allows me to do my work whenever I want. I have had no job experience but I would work hard and want to be a vet when I graduate high school, which I graduate early in December. Could I have a chance at this job?
It’s a dog kennel and a vet.

of course… and if you have trouble finding one, start by volunteering at an animal shelter, SPCA, or humane society. good luck
