    Don’t Get Overwhelmed By Summer Guests!

    Summer is one of the busiest times for any dog daycare. With pet parents taking advantage of warmer weather and time off, furry family members get to take their own vacations through luxury dog boarding locations like K9 Resorts. One of the keys in learning how to run a franchise is predicting when to prepare and what steps you need to take to get ready for an onslaught of new business! Getting your dog daycare ready for all the eager pups this summer might be simpler than you think, but being sure to get a head start on preparations is key. Here are some ways you can ready yourself for all the soon-to-be-boarders at your facility.

    Staff Appropriately

    More dogs mean that you need to increase your staff! Often, dog daycares go through busier seasons with the same level of staffing that they use all year-round. While this might work for some operations, having the appropriate amount of staff to monitor and nurture the dogs in your care is crucial to an excellent dog boarding experience. Reputable dog daycare locations require a certain number of staff per number of dogs during any given time so that they can make sure the guests are happy and healthy. When the busy season hits, it might be time to increase the number of qualified employees you have on staff in order to satisfy the demand! Learning how to run a franchise means that you must accommodate as needed to ensure that the level of quality expected from the franchise is always meet and/or exceeded.

    Stock Appropriately

    Don’t get caught during the busy season without much-needed supplies. When you have more guests, you have to make sure you have the accessories they could need while in your care. Stock up on treats and food as well as anything needed to give medication. Add blankets and the like to your stockpile just in case. Everything you need to run your operation should be increased as the number of bookings you receive increases. Another thing to check is the expiration of any food you have in reserve. Typically, dog food lasts about a year, so don’t go overboard with stocking up on it. Determine around how much you might need and pad that amount just a bit, so you aren’t wasting any food.

    Market Yourself

    There may be lots of other dog daycare options in the area, but you know that your location is the best. Make sure everyone else knows it, too! When you’re figuring out how to run a franchise, one of the best benefits of being part of a known brand is the backing that comes with the name. That means marketing your location among a sea of pet daycare providers will be easier! Even if it’s a busy season, you don’t want to miss out on a portion of that increased business. Be sure to figure out your marketing plan early and begin to get your name out there ahead of the competition. Don’t forget to let everyone know why you’re the best and how Fido will get a true vacation while his parents are away!

    K9 Resorts is a cut above the rest. Our luxury dog daycare and boarding facilities are focused on a stress-free, clean, and comfortable experience for four-legged family members. Many pet parents feel guilt when they need to leave their beloved pets in the care of others when they’re going out of town, but at K9 Resorts, those fun-loving animals are sure to have a fantastic time.
