101 Best Businesses for Pet Lovers What You Need to Know about Starting and Succeeding in a Pet Business of Your Own is a great reference for anyone who loves pets and is thinking about turning that qualification into a means for making money.

The money spent on pets has more than doubled since 1994, creating a multi-billion-dollar industry that is even more lucrative than the human toy industry. 101 Best Businesses for Pet Lovers lists a wide variety of moneymaking opportunities from something as simple as dog walking, to careers which require education and training such as pet grooming and pet masseuse.

Authors Joseph Nigro and Nicholas Nigro are well qualified to write about this subject. Joseph began his entrepreneurial career with pet shops which he was eventually able to sell to the Petco Company in 1996 for $19.1 million.

101 Best Businesses for Pet Lovers interested me on a personal level because I am one of those people who turned my love of animals into a business - Internet Pet Supplies - Internet Pet Supplies has been selling pet treats and pet supplies on the Internet since 1998. [...]
I would recommend this book, it is well researched, well written, and offers some very imaginative ways of making money.

Good book for those looking for an animal-related career, lists lots of possibilities. Seems to come from reliable source considering author owned the pet store that became PetCo.

I am not sure what I was expecting but this certainly wasn't it. Initially I was a little disappointed but I think I probably had a set business in mind and wanted to know how to do it, which this book doesn't do, at least not in the way I wanted.
This is an IDEAS Book, which does have some good ideas that I must admit I would never have thought of and I actually work in the pet related industry.

Not what I expected. A bit too simplified and it seemed as if the authors were attempting to include too many topics regarding owning a business all in one shot here.

This book has a wealth of information and inspiration for those looking to supplement their incomes or who, whether by choice or due to the cruel apathy of corporate America, are obliged to switch careers.

Those who have fallen through the cracks -- the downsized middle-aged, the disabled -- and others who have hit a dead end on the road of life, can glean a few notions as to how to break the cycle of despair and not only survive, but thrive.

Oh, and it has some good ideas for animal lovers, too. ; )

This book has been very helpful in my research on businesses dealing with pets, pet supplies and care; well written and organized for quick review.

If you love pets and have wondered how to turn your passion into a business this book provides some great ideas. Great thought provoker that will get you thinking.
