Dog Boarding Kennels
Dog boarding kennels are the oldest type of pet care business, and they're probably also the most complex. Dog kennels tend to be full-service facilities, offering boarding, grooming and, in some cases, veterinarian care. If you're thinking about opening up a dog boarding kennel, our informational books and videos can be an invaluable tool for planning, building and running your business.

Dog Boarding Kennel Videos
Mypetbusiness.com offers several different products that are designed to teach you how to get a kennel up and running. The first video, "Establishing a Pet Care Center," features a seminar given by Jim Crack, who is one of the founders of The American Boarding Kennels Association. Jim ran his very own dog kennel for 16 years, and he loves sharing his experience with newcomers to the industry.

"Establishing a Pet Care Center" comes in a three video set, and it features over four hours of information covering all aspects of kennel operation. In addition to the video seminar, we also include an information packet with your purchase. This packet includes reference materials on zoning laws, designing your facility, how much it costs to run a kennel, and other useful material.

We also offer a shorter video, "Boarding Kennel Business," that serves as a great introductory course for people interested in opening a kennel. This video shows you examples of real kennels and what they go through on a typical day. It will also teach you how to build up your business through marketing, advertising and even retail sales.
