Animal Housing

12Apr09

Are you a pet lover? Do you have some space in your home to accommodate domestic animals? Well why not offer your services as a pet lodge?

Many people who have pets would love to go away more often but just don’t take the opportunity as they have their pets to think about. The kennels are too expensive and the neighbors don’t like taking the rabbit, which leaves them no choice but to either take the pets with them or not go away. There aren’t many holiday places that allow pets and are happy to have them roaming around the grounds which really restricts pet owners as to where they can go.

By offering a pet boarding house service, you are providing a breath of fresh air to many pet owners. If you love animals it also provides a great outlet for you not to mention also good company. Make sure you set yourself up correctly and have all the neccessary equipment, toys, and even closed in areas for the pets. Check out what sort of insurance is needed and also make sure your neighbors don’t mind as they might be a bit unhappy about the dogs crying all night!

It is also important to have a vet locally who you know you can rely on if you need him for any emergency. Make sure all of the pets you agree to take have had their up to date vaccinations and that you are aware of any medical issues or unusual habits they have. Always have emergency numbers so that you can contact the owners. Looking after a number of pets at one time is quite a hard task so you may need to employ some teenagers to help you. However you decide to approach it, setting up a pet boarding house can be very rewarding, emotionally and financially especially if you have a love of animals.
