I was very disappointed with this book. Not much imagination put into it, I found it less than helpful!
Rating: 1 / 5
I got this book from a recommendation in Small Business Opportunities magazine. It’s a typical 101 type books in that it covers a wide range of home based businesses centered on pets. You find some ideas that interest you and it suggests websites for more detailed information.
Not all the ideas appealed to me. For instance, I’ve never had birds as pets and don’t know enough about them to be interested in businesses involving birds.
I realize from another review that someone objected to the chapter on breeding Poodle crosses. I have two small dogs and don’t see anything wrong with breeding dogs or having them as pets as long as you treat them well.
I know that the animal rights people don’t want anyone to have pets and of course if no one is breeding dogs, it won’t be long until there are no dogs for pets. That will make the animal rights people happy but I would be very sad not to have Shih Tzus.
If you know what business you want, such as pet sitting, you wouldn’t get this book. If you are looking for ideas, then it’s a good fit.

The book was good – it had many different ideas and realistic ways to implement them.

This book was very disappointing. I won’t write at length about it but trust me on this. This book seems like it is written by someone who does not seem to have any specific insight into what exactly to do if you want to start a small pet-related business. There is an insanely long table of contents, each business (e.g. pet sitter, pet photographer, etc.) is given its own “chapter” and about half of the business suggestions are just ridiculous. There’s got to be lots better out there.
