What supplies that I need for a dog hotel?
29 Nov 2009
I am starting a dog hotel for over the summer and I was wondering what supplies I needed. I already have treats, and toys. I am asking the owners of the dogs to bring their dogs bed, food, and leash. What else do I need.

You need insurance because if anything happened to a dog in your care you will be sued. You may also need a permit to run a dog business from your home.

You still need all the stuff the owners are supposed to bring. What if they forget some of it? What if a dog pees or otherwise soils its bed? Sometimes owners don’t bring enough food. Get some slip leads for leashes, because you don’t want a dog to slip out of its collar and run off.
What vaccinations will you require? Make sure you require bordatella aka kennel cough vaccine. You don’t want a bunch of unvaccinated dogs running around your property!
