Drain Board
Starting your own dog daycare / overnight boarding company
Starting your own doggy daycare or overnight boarding facility is a daunting task. There are many things you need to consider before deciding on your kennel system.
The first thing to keep in mind is cleaning.
Most people, when starting a daycare/overnight boarding facility consider the fact that a good clean kennel system is a good thing - but many don't understand fully as to 'why'. Yes, a good clean facility lowers the risk of spreading disease and keeps your critters happy - but it also keeps your customers coming back. If your human customers do not like the look or smell of your facility, they will find another daycare center to drop their animals off. After all, you are providing a 'home away from home' for these beloved pets. If your facility does not look and smell as nice as home, then your customers will find a different place to visit.
A kennel system that is easy to clean - built from materials that are also easy to clean, really add up to savings in the long run. Many kennel manufacturers use laminates to build the kennels. These laminates are usually wood covered in a material that does not absorb water and is easy to clean. My company; Gator Products, does not use laminates, instead, we use a special material that contains those cleaning properties throughout. This means that if the material gets scratched, it can still be cleaned and will not absorb water!
Time
Ease of cleaning not only makes your life easier - and keep your customers coming back, it also saves time. Time is very important as it is in limited supply. Your days will quickly fill up with dealing with human customers, phone calls, feeding, watering, playing with the critters, more phone calls, and cleaning. If you don't want to work until the wee hours of the morning keeping everything ship-shape, you should probably consider the ways you can save time.
One way to save time, is to have an integrated drainage system in your kennels. This allows you to wipe everything down and hose the hair, grime, urine, and smells down the drain. While an integrated drain system costs more, it really pays off in time savings.
Another time saver - that is not as costly as a drain system is a way to feed the critters fast. Each time you have to open the gate, the animal wants to either play or escape. This means, you will at least have to block the animal from escaping. However, by blocking the animal,you don't have as much room to hold the food and water and dishes, and pet the dog or cat while trying to get food in the bowl.
Storage
Obviously, you will need room to house the critters, but a feature that many daycare / overnight boarding facilities overlook is the need for extra storage. You will need a place for the animal's food, medication, toys, and any other personal item that your customers will bring. You will be surprised what your customers will bring in for a one-night visit - and you should be prepared by having ample room to store these items. Some daycare / overnight boarding facilities choose to store these items in a separate area from the kennels, while others integrate the storage with the kennel system to keep the critter with his/her personal effects. Regardless of which method you chose, you will need a way to label the items. The last thing you want is for the human customer to be waiting while you and your employees look everywhere for Spot's favorite toy.
Building layout
There are many different options for the structure of your facility. You can either build the building from scratch - which will allow you to add in specific features you want. Or you might be taking an existing building and working around the structure that is already in place. Either way, there are some features you shouldn't overlook:
Lighting
Good light is a welcome sign for your customers. It makes your facility seem more inviting - and less like jail. It also improves the spirits of your employees and critter customers.
Ventilation
Good ventilation will keep smells from building up - which your human and non-human customers will like. It also helps lower the chance of diseases spreading from one critter to another.
Space
Effective use of space will make your facility look less cluttered and more inviting. First impressions are everything. If you have to crawl over a stack of dog food and squeeze past your computer desk to invite the guest who just walked in the door - your facility will not score very high on first-impressions. Conversely, if your facility is laid out in an orderly fashion and everything seems to have a place (see 'storage' above) then your customers will see you as professional and orderly.
