Introducing Your Kitten To Resident Pets
Kittens are only kittens for a year, but this short time is the most significant stage of a cat's development. It's important for kitten owners to recognize how impressionable kittens are and arm themselves with tools and expert advice to ensure they give their kittens the best start in life. As part of its continuous commitment to sharing professional and practical knowledge with cat owners, Purina Kitten Chow is launching a video series featuring Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist, Dr. Karen Sueda that will be posted on kittenchow.com. The series, titled The Kitten Connection, is designed to quickly and easily show new – and even experienced – kitten owners tips, tricks, and advice that allow them to make the most out of the lives they share with their kittens.
"Kitten ownership can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life, so it's worth it to prepare ahead of time for every aspect of kitten care," said Dr. Sueda.

How much to charge for pet daycare?
I am pet sitting 2 Pomeranians ogs amd a cat for 3 days. What I have to do for them is feed them and take them out to go to the bathroom and play with them 4 times a day. They are pretty nice and don't have an attitude. How much would you charge for that?
for cats my fee is 10 dollars since i only have to feed and they do the rest. for dogs its 15 since i have to walk em and playing with em is free since if its a friendly dog ill do it anyway. so around 40 bucks a day. or if they say its too much since its 3 animals take 5 or 10 off for a total of 30-40 a day

How do I start a Pet Day Care Service or Pet Walking Service?
I really love animals and would love to start a pet sitting service or pet walking service ? Anyone know how to start it up?
It is tough starting out but post signs on bulletin boards in stores, vet offices, parks. Place ads in the classified under the pet listings. Go door to door to known pet owners and leave them flyer's. Once you can get established, hopefully the pet owners will talk to Others and word of mouth will get you a thriving business.
how do you take care of your pet when you go to school/work?
i wanna get a pet and i dont know how to take care of it when i go to school. i dont have money for Pet Care. how do you take care of yours?
i wanna get a DOG
IF you don't have money for pet care, definitely do NOT get a dog. It isn't fair to the dog, they need vet care

want to change the garage into a pet care facility – do i need perimission?
Hi,
my sister wants to change her garage into a Pet Care facility to look after various pets while their owners are on holiday etc.
does she need permission from the council or checks from the rspca etc, will she need to have a sink installed etc…
thanks
It's not that simple, first she would have to apply for a change of use and her neighbours would have to be consulted, then she would need to register the garage as a business and pay business rates, then she would need to apply to the local council and Trading Standards for pet shop licensing as she would be keeping pets commercially.
There is a set of rules that state how much cage space each animal requires, as she couldn't mix rodents or birds from different owners, each would need it's own cage and in such a small area there would be a lot of natural aggression from already stressed pets.
She couldn't use the same sink she uses for food preparation for commercial animal husbandry. The rules are all against her on such a small scale.
How can I give my pet care small business an edge?
My husband and I own and operate our own pet care business- we provide pet sitting and dog walking services. We are willing to accommodate alternative requests when they are made but we rarely get them.
I know that Pet Care businesses are gaining popularity because people are doing more for their pets. However, as a small business what services could I offer or what approaches could I take to appeal to pet owners more than the average pet sitter?
While I'm willing to undergo additional training for more skills like grooming and training, what services could be useful that I could offer right away?
My business already offers pet sitting visits that are one hour in duration, which is unheard of among professional sitters around here (most people stay for 30 minutes or so). Without dropping prices, what could I do that would appeal to you and make my business your first choice? I want to be unconventional- don't want to stick to JUST dog walking, pet sitting and house sitting.
Health care! There are so manmy things you can do without a vet that will make sure to keep low cost for owners and more income for you!
The DHPP (parvo combo) vaccines can be given by you and if you do cats, the FVRCP vaccines can be done as well. Reaearch small animal care and learn the facts, so you can educate your customers!
Dogs need HeartGuard or a heart worm prevention once a month, and if they go months or more without it, they need to be tested first, or if they have heartworms, giving them the preentative could kill them!
Also, little things like not being abl to give cats the flea prevention from Walmart stores could be a good thing to spread around. It has an active ingredient permethrin and is very toxic and can kill them.
Puppies and kittens need at least three vaccines (DHPP/FVRCP) to be protected, and until they are 3 months and cn be on the heartguard, they need de-worming with Strongid or anOther pyrantel based wormer to prevent those nasty intestinal worms.
Also, outside cats need to be tested for leukemia and vaccoinated yearly.
These are just a few very commonly ovrlooked things I see daily,and you can investigate them more thoroughly or even ask your vet about them. The Strongid you can also keep on hand, but stay away from trying to do rabies vaccines yourself (its illegal) and leave the heartworm prevention and testing to the vets as well. GOOD LUCK!!!
