Everything you need to make nurseries and boarding homes for dogs and cats

21 Nov 2022

The increasingly hectic pace of our lives and the myriad commitments we have often make it difficult to properly care for our four-legged friends. It is precisely for this reason that daycares and boarding homes, especially for small pets such as dogs and cats, have begun to spread in recent years.

The introduction of these services allows owners to entrust them to competent professionals when they want to go on vacation or simply have to go to work. In fact, it is possible to opt for a stay of several days or weeks, or take them to these specialized facilities just for a few hours.

Our company supports those who plan to start businesses such as daycares and boarding homes for dogs and cats by providing everything needed to furnish the spaces, as well as the necessary equipment and accessories. We are experts in designing and manufacturing custom-made furniture made of durable, antiseptic and easy-to-clean materials. We also manufacture various types of essential tools for housing and caring for animals, including insulated outdoor boxes, partitions, gates, cleaners and grooming items.

Below we will outline the must-have additions to buildings intended to house our little friends and the distinctive elements of the types of activities.

What are dog and cat daycares and boarding homes

The main aspect that distinguishes these two kinds of facilities is the length of stay of the animals. Daycares are designed to accommodate them during the day or a few hours, but our faithful friends cannot spend the night there. Generally, those who have special work or other needs and cannot care for their dogs or cats at all times can bring them to these places at agreed times.

In contrast, boarding houses are the ideal solution for pet owners who go on vacation or are away for a longer or shorter period of time. In these cases, animals can stay full days, including nights, in environments created with all the necessary amenities to make them feel at home and ensure their well-being.

Dog and cat daycares and boarding kennels differ in the length of time their guests are housed. However, they share many aspects, such as the services offered, the layout of indoor rooms, the presence of a properly equipped outdoor area, and the experience of the staff.

Certainly some of the activities offered may vary at each individual location, but basic ones such as proper nutrition, walks, sleep and play are always provided. If you are thinking of opening a facility for our four-legged friends, you may want to think about offering additional services that are particularly in demand to meet their needs.

You could collaborate with dog educators who organize play-cognitive trails aimed at stimulating socialization and learning. At the same time, it is useful to be supported by a veterinary clinic. That way, in case an animal has health problems, a doctor would intervene as quickly as possible. Another popular service is grooming, which is necessary for hygiene and hair care of dogs and cats. Finally, you should consider installing a state-of-the-art video surveillance system to monitor guests at all times and safeguard their well-being.

Equipped and comfortable indoor spaces of dog and cat daycare and boarding homes

Every area of buildings constructed to accommodate our dear four-legged friends must be studied in detail to make sure they feel comfortable. This implies a specific division of the rooms, so our partitions combined with special steel gates are quite useful.

The creation of areas used for the performance of precise activities, such as those reserved for rest, nutrition, recreation,hygiene, andshelter, is essential to ensure the comfort and well-being of animals. Thanks to our 30 years of experience and continuous updating of skills, we are able to design and furnish each space of daycare centers and boarding homes for dogs and cats on an ad hoc basis.

We will guide you in choosing the most suitable furniture, furnishings, accessories and tools for your facility. We will assess the size of the rooms, their brightness and other characteristics to propose the most appropriate layout. In addition, we will make modular compositions equipped with custom-made base and wall units that we will customize with colors, finishes and any decorative stickers of your choice.

Once you have decided what the perfect decor will be, we will introduce you to the rich variety of professional equipment to be included in the various rooms. In fact, we provide everything needed for veterinary clinics if there is one in dog and cat daycares and boarding homes. We have the tools used for grooming, as well as numerous lines of high-quality cleaners. Finally, we have kennels, safety devices and tools useful in these facilities.

Outdoor area suitable for the entertainment of dogs and cats in nurseries and boarding homes

The outdoor area of the building is a key component as it can be used for walks, play and socialization activities, rest and relaxation. Ideally, it is best to opt for buildings surrounded by ample grounds where animals can run and frolic freely and safely.

At the same time, there needs to be shaded and/or semi-enclosed areas, such as insulated boxes that are covered completely or only partially. In this way, our four-legged friends will be protected from excessive solar heat and the elements. We specialize in the design and construction of these custom-made items, the composition and finish of which you can choose.

We have different types of playpens for daycares and boarding houses for dogs and cats of all sizes precisely with the aim of meeting your needs.
