Location of doggy daycare?

Question

Location of doggy daycare centre???????

i will be opening a doggy daycare centre in 6months, but i am having trouble with the location. if you were to put your dog into doggy daycare whilst you were at work, would you be prepared to travel that extra 10-25minutes to a better facilitated, more space and outside play area daycare OR would you prefer to travel 2minutes into the centre of or near the city for conveniance.

im very stuck on this one , as to what people would prefer. i have asked a few people and they have said, if it was there children they would prefer to travel a longer distance to a better creche etc, so they would say it would be the same with a dog.

do you agree????

opinions greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

For a lot of pet owners their dog is a loving, integral, living part of the family that has profound meaning. I think you have already answered your own question. I own 2 catahoula hounds and would drive further for better care/facilities.  The answer is yes yes yes. You have to make it convenient also.  I had a friend that struggled until she included transportation to the center because with work, people couldn't drive to her center very easily. Childcare is daily usually........you are talking about a usually planned rarity.  I think in this buss. that most definitely people would go further for better care.  Do some research about other buss. license in this field and see who your comp is.....why are they working/not?  If you have passion and you know this field then you should be good after looking at the demographic. good luck

Answer 2

I'd choose convenience over distance.
