nowadays it's very difficult to look for responsible breeders... as they all focus on one single thing... which is profit...

for pets cafe, it's very difficult to operate such a kind of business in our country... it depends on the area... we have to be sensitive towards other religions... if the shop is located at a place whereby it has 99 % non muslims population, then it shouldn't be a problem... Crazy

ya, agree...
but, if possible, to make it open to all pet..
example 1st floor special for dogs plus other small pets.
2nd floor for cats and birds...
something like tat..

at least it balance up, not too focus on ''dogs'' only and it may cause sensitive issue due...(u know la)

khengtiek.are u really serious on tat?

May be put it as Dog Cafe instead of Pet Cafe?

Perhaps factory lot renovated? Rent is cheap, Isolated, Got land for parking area and spacious to allow dogs move freely, and mayb put dog theme park as well?

Just crazy suggestion, anyway.

Re: [ALL] Pet Shop [In reply to] Can't Post

wow.. so much inputs.... hehehe....

acsyen: wanna borrow a small space to put some stuff... maybe home made cookies.... not sure yet...

chris: thats true.. however there are a few breeders that are very selective breeders... mayb about 10% of them... :)

vylauren: as chris has said, location is a problem to open such cafe's... i do not think that there is a law that states no pets allowed in food shops. most shops are not animal friendly and has animals not allowed signs due to the location and also the customers.

btw, renovated factory lots are very rare if not expensive.... those that are available for rent is usually very far out or the surrounding area is not suitable for animals....

lcly.my: its not practical to have 2 floors... maintenance would be a problem... and if the shop is an intermediate shop, alot of work needs to be done to provide proper ventilation to get rid of the animal smell (pee+poo+saliva+other fluids).

anyways, i'm just tinkering around looking for more info etc.... as for now, i do not have any plans of opening a petshop. But even if i decide to open a petshop, focus would only be on selling accessories, dog food and dog grooming services. maybe boarding for dogs and also temporary place for rescued dogs...

However, i do know that petshops survive from sales of dogs... therefore, will need to find for something to counter back the loss for not selling dogs....

There are too many things to consider if one wants to open a petshop... location, size of shop, price of rental, etc etc etc....But if there is enough like minded people, maybe can discuss about this in more detail and something might work out....

but whatever it is, i'd like to stress out again i'm not planning to open a petshop or anything..... I'm totally useless when it comes to business....

What if Pet shop to sell all stray puppies after vaccinated and dewormed?

Stray puppies if taken care well, will look as good as branded one. Sure price is cheap-cheap lah. may be rm100?

Can earn by more people buy ( if well respond ) and same time can help puppies relocate. but really have to find very cheap place for this business.

Another crazy thought of me

Re: [vylauren] Pet Shop [In reply to] Can't Post

Its not ez to find a shop which is not only strategically good with low rental.... Usually good location means high rental..... well.. unless that there is someone out there who owns a shoplot which is vacant.... then maybe can do this type of business ler....

easier said than done... you will need to have strategies in advertising, promoting, and marketing... to have a low rental shop in a "so-so" location... u will need as much advertising as possible...

Re: [vylauren] Pet Shop [In reply to] Can't Post

Why don't you start by rescuing 1 or 2 pups and vaccinate, deworm and spay them then rehome them for RM100? Also I notice you have a MS. Will you be 'buying' 1 stray puppy soon? Or maybe getting a stray as your own dog after this MS? Many ppl will say mongrels are best but they end up getting a pedigree cos they will say I wan a small dog but strays/mongrels are not small/big enough or don't meet my requirements.

Re: [acsyen] Pet Shop [In reply to] Can't Post

Dear Yen,

I wish i cld do that. it is really my dream to bring home strays n love them as much as i love my 2 dogs.

In fact i envy your freedom to save those pity animals w/o restriction from anyone, and you able to adopt many puppies n

dogs. so i assume u stay in banglo?

Now staying in condo with 2 small dogs already ( bought at same time w/o informed myfamily, assumed they were ok )and unit half belong to my family.

and didnt know my family really against dogs.

Everytime pay me a visit, will shoo my dogs away. and asked me to put them for adoption as they will dirty the unit.

I love strays, they more obidient but not able to take them home, so far only able to feed them.

for now only able to keep a lunchbox with kibbles and feed the strays if i met them.

Do realize it takes more effort to be animal lover, perhaps after moved to my new house, and if neighbours ok then can

adopt 2 strays as guard dog. As i dont want to put my dogs in compound and those neighbours who against dogs will poison my dogs, so better to check the neighbourhood first before making my decision.

Dear Chris,

As i said earlier, this idea is just a crazy thought of mine.

Of course not easy to make this comes true, it involves a lot of money. kind of charity not business purpose.

If those stray puppies not adopted, as they grow bigger, needs a land as a animal farm.

Please forgive me with my crazy idea if offended anyone.

Re: [khengteik] Pet Shop [In reply to] Can't Post

I have been wondering about doggy odor especially large dogs, my favorite large dogs are Labrador and Goldies but all the Goldies I encountered have very bad doggy odor. Just wondering if it is normal or maybe they were badly kept. You see my medium size mongrel (15kg and 20kg) do not smell at all, I only bath them once a week. Knowing that you had handle a Gigantic lab before thought of asking you this.
