Pet  Business Startup Guide

If you love pets, there are plenty of opportunities for you to turn your passion into a profitable and rewarding pet business!

Learn practical, real-world advice, tips and insider secrets for starting five of the most in-demand pet-product and pet-care services, including pet sitting/dog walking, dog training, pet grooming, pet-food/treat sales and upscale pet products.



In 2004, Americans will have spent $13.64 million dollars on their pets and that figure has increased in 2005 and the year isn’t over! With a surge in pet businesses and a large playing field, you may be able to create yourself a healthy little pet business! It’s definitely worth your time to do some research, at the least!


There are many different types of pet business ideas from you to choose from. There are many different aspects and avenues to pursue for pet lovers in business. Below we have outlined what we believe to be some of the most successful pet business ideas to consider starting:


The Dog Bakery Business currently ranks number one as the most popular of new pet businesses popping up both online and offline. A fondness for dogs and for baking is essential for a profitable dog bakery business. You can make dog treats for pennies on the dollar and resell them for triple; there is plenty of profit to go around. With a dog bakery you also have a few different options such as wholesale, private label and resale. The choice is yours!


A Pet Sitting Business ranks a close second as the most popular pet business start up. For a moment, just imagine spending your days with your favorite four legged variety and making good money too! A pet sitting business is a pet lovers dream for the ideal business that is profitable while doing something you love.


A Doggie Day Care Business is yet another profitable pet business to consider. Running a doggie day care is similar to a pet sitting business but you will be watching more than one dog at a time. This can make a big difference in your income and also your business as a whole. You can do also do both pet sitting and doggie day care at the same time if you choose, you have many options!


Pet businesses are becoming hotter than ever for two main reasons. One: pet lovers will go the extra mile to assure their beloved family pet is in good hands when they can’t be there. This means available profits to you when offering your services. Two: the pet businesses mentioned above can be started on a shoe string budget and most can also be started right from your home. Plentiful profit margins and low start up costs means more money in your business!


We do suggest first finding out the laws and regulations in your county and state starting your new pet business. It is important to find out your laws before starting your business to avoid any mishaps later. The laws and regulations vary from state to state and sometimes even county to county so start out doing your research now!
