Hey folks!
My husband and I are relocating to Copperas Cove and I am needing some feedback from the local residents. I was wondering about the need for a pet (dogs/cats) boarding/ doggy daycare business. Its something I have always wanted to do and we will be living on several acres. Here are just some basics (aside from the obvious- sanitation, friendly staff, affordable, etc).....
*Pet boarding with separate wings for dogs and cats (indoor rooms with access to their own outdoor area)...cats fully enclosed
*Separate goup play areas for older dogs, large dogs, and high energy dogs
*web cams in each kennel and on play areas, so that owners may check on their babies 24 hours a day
*on call vet
*optional grooming
*optional pick up / drop off service

Being a pet owner myself, I am fully aware of the high cost of boarding pets...yikes! I am looking to build a soild a business with a great reputation.

Is there a need for this in the Copperas Cove and surrounding areas? Let me know...Thanks!!!

I live just minutes from Cove, and will be your FIRST customer! I drive 2 hours to San Antonio, and take all my flights out of San Antonio, JUST because the doggy dude ranch has what you're planning to offer. I have looked for places similiar, and there is one on Chapparal Ranch Road in Killeen, but it lacks all the things I want and need for my dogs. PLEASE START THIS BUSINESS. You will GUARANTEED do well here! There are LOTS of military families here, and lots of civilians who also "TDY" often. If you do go ahead with it, I have some excellent suggestions and marketing ideas. GOD BLESS YALL!!!
p.s. just google Pawderosa Ranch in San Antonio and see what they offer for guidelines.
I AM SO EXCITED AT THE PROSPECT OF YALL STARTING THIS BUSINESS!!!!!!! Oh, and trust me, I have a BIG MOUTH, and know ALOT of people in the area, and work with many professionals on post and would be spreading the word for yall!
