Whether they are coping with finicky pets or ordering supplies needed for day-to-day operation, boarding kennel proprietors face many challenges.

Here is a detailed description of the boarding kennel business, the problems kennel managers encounter, and ways to solve these problems. The fundamentals of good physical facilities and equipmeent are examined: types of pet enclosures, materials and construction, fencing, plumbing and waste disposal. In addition the book realistically discusses the advantages and drawbacks of buying an existing kennel compared with building a new facility, and tells you what you should consider if you are planning to expand or enlarge your kennel.

Providing top-quality care for the animals is emphasized in chapters on prevention and treatment of common pet diseases and preparation of nutritious food. Youp'll find many practical suggestions for perfroming routine activities, establishing good customer relations and increasing kennel profits by offering additional pet services.

Boarding Kennel Management gives you useful information about how to run your kennel effectively and build up a satisfied clientele.

If there ever was a expert on this subject, Mr. Kohl is it. He explains the ins and outs of this business in a very human fashion. The book goes into details that anyone interested in managing a boarding kennel must have. This is indeed a detailed guide for the previously un-enlightened.

5.0 out of 5 stars direct but not dreadful, October 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I brought this book along with another of the same subject, The first one was so in depth, it was hard to read and confusing unless you are an arctitect. This book gave the same information in a way that was intresting, factual and helpful. I loved the way it laid out plans (easy to read)and covered many bases of the industry. I highly recomend to anyone in the kennel/boarding business or looking to start one.
