Starting a Pet Hotel


Starting your own pet hotel is a great way to combine a passion for animals with a career. However, before you actually open, there are many things to consider and a lot of planning that needs to happen. Take a look at these tips to make sure you get started on the right track.
Type of Hotel
Before you even start building your hotel, you should decide whether you want to run an exclusive luxury hotel for pampered pets, or a no-frills hotel that offers simple accommodations for every pet. Once you’ve made this decision, you can start planning the look and feel of your hotel.
Location
Once you’ve decided on the type of hotel, you can look for a location. It’s important to check with the planning and zoning office of the city before you start looking at properties, so you can have a better understanding about the zoning laws and where you can legally operate a pet hotel.

Design
When designing the hotel, keep in mind that you should have separate spaces for dogs and cats. Also, having vet services on site is something to consider that may help keep pet owners minds at ease when they can’t be there to take care of their furry family member.

There are many more things to think about when opening your own pet hotel, but this is a good place to start and will help make sure you begin looking at some of the most important aspects.
